When I use violence in a movie, it's just to express the power, the impact of it.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
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.
We cannot turn our back and say that violence in films or anything that we do doesn't have a sort of influence. It does.
I think violence in a cinematic context can be, if handled in a certain way, very seductive.
Some of my films are known for the depiction of violence. I don't have anything to prove with that any more.
Once you do something violent in a film, you don't have to do too much. You do it once and the feeling of violence just stays there, do you know what I'm saying?
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.
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.
I don't think violence on film breeds violence in life. Violence in life breeds violence in films.
Violence has been a part of films since the beginning of time. It's been a form of entertainment.
When you see violence in movies in general, it's very quick and painless, which isn't what it's like.
