Let the Right One In is violent, but yet it is nothing compared to the violence we see in many American films.
Much has been said about violence in the media and how it effects society. Some say that it has created a much more violent society, but others would argue that the violence we see acts as a release, that is, by experience violence on screen we exorcist it from ourselves and then don't need to be violent.
What do you think?
I know that violent films are some what of a release. Some people feel angry some times and need an outlet. Fortunately there is many outlets such as working out, paintballing, hicking and films. But like anything else it back fires sometimes. In my opinion watching violence on a screen gets rid of some bad thoughts, but sometimes certain individuals mimic those violent acts. That is when people blame movies and all that violence on the screen. But I totally disagree with that. In order for someone to mimic the violence in a movie there has to be something already wrong with that individual or their life to make them lash out at the people around them. Besides: violence, sex and action always sells, so I dont see that slowing down any time soon.

Violence in the media can be a release for some people, and some take it to the next level and act out. I think if you let media decide how you are going to feel about your everyday life you should stop and rethink your purpose in life. It is for Entertainment purposes and not to be taken literally.
ReplyDeleteI also believe that movies are in outlet to violence because there are alot of movies that people see that reflect the the way people are feeling and when they see the out come on film it sometimes helps people deal with their feelings.
ReplyDeleteYeah ,almost all the Ameerican films we see have some type of violence ,i personally think that the violence that we see in the movies its a trigger to many poeple that are violent and they think its that if they do it in movies why not them do it too.Altough this world is full of violence but i think the we can act as individuals and at least not to fall in the tenddency of becoming violent ,perdonally i try not to be violent but if someonelse tells me something i don't like is more than enough to go up to them and settle it somehow,but i try to contain myself but i guess its in my blood some people don't have to show that they are voilent guys but when they see something violent its sparks them too ,so yes i think that to much of the violence we see in american films in a way are somewhat influence to violent people.
ReplyDeleteI am not a fan of violent movies and I get easily scared in movies. To me it amazes how people enjoy such movies. I recently watched “Orphan” and I didn’t like it. I am not appealed to the fact that kids are the element of horror in this movie. Also I watched another thriller; “Last house on left” had to leave it within 20 minutes of the movie. I mean people are brutally killed in it and it feels as if the movie is appreciating the art of killing. I think if people become excited by it or are able to release their emotions by it, then definitely movies are at blame because the person is interested in it and will be influence by them. If will give more mass to their imagination and probably give them the courage to be violent. Let's not forget that movies are a kind of communication and also represent our society. How much violent a movie is also depends on a person, but there is always a limit to which violence or creepiness can be taken in.

ReplyDeleteAs a culture, we need to learn how to filter out the violence and things that are not good for us and simply appreciate and take out the good aspects of a film. However, i do believe that overall, we are probably the least violent culture compared to many civilizations over the last few thousand years.
