Because people see violence on the movie screen, they're not going to go out and hold up a liquor store and kill somebody. It really doesn't correlate.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
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 always thought the real violence in Hollywood isn't what's on the screen. It's what you have to do to raise the money.
It's not that the film is violent, it's that people have an issue with violence right now.
Violence has been a part of films since the beginning of time. It's been a form of entertainment.
I don't think violence on film breeds violence in life. Violence in life breeds violence in films.
When you see violence in movies in general, it's very quick and painless, which isn't what it's like.
Personally, I can't stand violence. In any standard American mainstream movie, there's 20 times more violence than in any one of my films, so I don't know why those directors aren't asked why they're such specialists for violence.
From the director's point of view, it's infinitely easier to do violence than to do a good dramatic scene.
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.
Violence is a very ugly thing. Violence is often so casual on film, and made to look so cool and so sexy, but violence is a repulsive, repugnant act that human beings inflict on each other. It shouldn't seem to be cool and sexy, ever really.
