More and more people worship movie violence

Part of the body count action nascent industry, Universal Soldier: date of liquidation mere existence may shock many Americans. "There are four universal soldier movie?" Shocked the Americans would say. Support violence, they may be shocked marks the movie from start to finish: the underworld execution protagonist's wife and daughter, exploded in the naked corpse rent shotguns, hacker attacks, broken fingers and before anesthesia the white matter of the cerebral lobe resection.

"It's not blood, it is red," Jean - Luc Godard riposted When asked about the shocking "red" appeared in 1965 Pierrot Le Fou composed. The ability to separate fantasy from reality - is any person who is not mentally ill - something is not blood sprayed on our screen, but the colored of Carlo corn syrup, freshly killed, soon someone will rise again shouted: " cut. "

If we accept the aesthetic is very interesting, because of all the violence, then the picture is entering a period of prolific action painting red the photorealistic CG better dead all the way innovation - like Rick halo trace Chinese characters Tieguanyin, the director / star RZA MAN cut off his arm in the details of love, but also his enemies with air and arterial spray. Who can witness a Boschian spring break hellscape Alexandre Aja's Piranha 3-D in 2010, or more manglings final destination, not a measure of awe? Innocence can be handled walking meat bags peopling movies has become a public joke in this year's cabin in the woods or Paul WS Anderson's Resident Evil: Retribution, peep clone factory production testing laboratory massacre of human figures.

Cultural barriers! The grinding the house is in the ascendant! Worrying today about the hash, the above problem Gore gore's sake, a feeling the output touch Joseph, in the New York Times critic who is rushed to the retirement, taken after the 1967 Arab-Israeli Joseph Payne, Bonnie and Clyde task seriocomic tone (farce with brutal killings ", this hybrid does not make sense, because it is the lack of taste"). Rather than face accusations of hypocrisy or priggishness admit frank and open exhilaration at the sight of blood. It seems to see the end of the only ongoing one-upmanship boring work, lead to an inevitable dead end, perhaps finally driving psychological and producer.

However, when shooting Aurora, Colorado, marking a movie theater, the opening night of the rise of Christopher Nolan's "The Dark Knight, a brief self-examination to round in the Hollywood Reporter, Harvey Weinstein appeal to the whole discussion of the industry will be violence on the screen, Peter Bogdanovich movie's target in 1968, who shot the driver snipers expressed regret that it should be noted that, Weinstein, its allocation Queensland Ting Tarantino's upcoming Django unrestrained, began the construction of a 1981 video nasty burn it with a pair of red lawnmower performances shocking reality dismemberments, to simulate the impact of Gore's courtesy of Tom Sa I do not know how to plan the Pooh to his empire. seminar to it?

This would be a fallacy, claiming like universal soldier 4 on behalf of the entire mainstream screen entertainment - Horror, splash, action films have a self-selection, knowledgeable audience and luxury similar slapstick "gimmick" in two senses words on the Cartoon disrespect. However, the same apocalyptic debauchery, marking these pictures appear in the most serious blockbuster: The Dark Knight casually kill the entire football team rose the highway grew up in the deadly chaos of tablets car chase after, to stay in, or a character clichés , image, calmly walking away from him like a huge explosion or she just kill the strike, did not even turn around to look, a master of destruction increasingly arrogant attitude.

A certain extent, this cognitive shift seems to be generational, do (competition) video games, comic books and animation, due to its nature is not the same thorny relationship to realism in movies syntax to learn more and more movie theaters . Placing bulldozing new remake of "Red Dawn" side-to-side with the 1984 John Milius original, one is struck by the degree of Milius, often used as a gun nut chauvinists, greatly humane want The home occupation party members.

Whenever the screen violence, the inevitable rebuttal, violence and drama are inextricably linked, the partnership can be traced back to the Jacobean stage Sophocles. In a 1967 BBC interview, that is by the American director Anthony Mann, he invoked the Gloucester Road blinding "King Lear" precedent with the Spurs own art. (The interview can be viewed as an additional standard DVD Mann's anger, Barbara Stanwyck detrimental to her new stepmother, a pair of scissors.) Acts of the violence surge Man movie, but it is violence make you feel exhausted but not ecstatic, Man understand the hatred as fever, body similar.

For a long time, I have been plagued Mann 1958, Western people, the last in a series of Gary Cooper cart Mann "psychological" westerns in the 1950s scene. The core Western action has retired bad "mankind the Cooper Conference of desperadoes a shoot out - nearly - Ghost Town Trio I said" almost ", because before the beginning of shooting, the gunman, Royal Dano, surprised AG Mexican woman in the middle, and he shot and killed her panic in most other movies - of course, spaghetti westerns Tarantino's Django knock on the door - this is only an expedient to set the flight of the bullet, which is what they do, but what makes Mann, American film Invincible tragedy attendant. Cooper walking alone out of the city, a person is probably dead woman's husband found her body, from the field fade out along with his plaintive: "Mi Juanita!" Mi Juanita! "A dark pall reduce Cooper is bitter victory - to remind people the dead woman means that the people of the world.

Causal, collateral damage and irreparable loss, this consciousness is the scene of the drama, Sophocles from the Coliseum (Colosseum). The stage character of the classic action films their moral force is expected to become the world through their own actions and face the often messy consequences. Now, it is closer to a text on the stage, the wreckage is being quietly swept away between the behavior.

As the saying goes, the movie is a great church, and the ability of some contention denomination. This is not a bloody fool, we should regret it - let's laugh at the proliferation of death is an important feature. Serious failure by the large producer of action as the balance of the tragedy, artist, Man, the the bullets weight of the case, the problem lies in the. Our films to prove they can be a very "cool" - but they can get something more? O death, where is thy sting?
