Mental violence is as bad as physical violence. You don't see that very often in movies, so it was a good subject to tackle.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Physical violence is always a bore in films today. We don't see how much it hurts. We don't learn the true consequences of it.
It's not that the film is violent, it's that people have an issue with violence right now.
When you see violence in movies in general, it's very quick and painless, which isn't what it's like.
Violence is used to portray what happens in a film. It only helps portray the actors and what they do. I think it is more about the story, when you have something to play off of.
I don't think movies are the reason why this violence exists, I think it's going to happen whether movies are there or not.
I have to admit that when I watch a movie in which there is no moral context for the violence - I find that offensive. I think that's potentially damaging to society.
Violence has been a part of films since the beginning of time. It's been a form of entertainment.
I'm very careful about how I portray violence in my films. I do believe that violence, especially violent video games, are not a good thing for young kids.
From the director's point of view, it's infinitely easier to do violence than to do a good dramatic scene.
I don't think violence on film breeds violence in life. Violence in life breeds violence in films.
