Is There Excessive Violence In Modern Films?
Nearly every second film nowadays is crammed full of heavy violence. If you're into Brit crime thrillers, it incorporates the territory. It seems like the only real way to get involved with modern theatre goers is to appeal to their intense violent sides. Is the world really this violent, or are modern directors just lazy?
It appears many directors have been influenced too heavily by Scorseze, Tarrantino and the British Gangster film class. The issue is though Tarrantino and Scorseze pictured viloence with subtlety, comedic effect which wasn't over lingering or unnecessary. There seems to be exceedingly small directing happening in plenty of these violent tales.
The world is a violent place, and i definitely would not wish to live in the inner street areas these dark, hard-hitting dramas are set in. But I have to ask the question does the camera have to focus in so close up all this action. Can nothing be left to the imagination. These films are not frightful, they're sickening.
It isn't a censorship area, only one of taste. A lot of violent films focus so much on this one area and appear to forget about adding a trustworthy story to the drama. In a lot of these films there essentially appears to be no semblance of a tale. It's concealed extremely behind the mayhem. There are so many nefarious characters it's tough to endear oneself to them or even imagine that these practical gritty characters could potentially exist.
Violence may be assumed required in a story. I have no issue with that. But when i see a tale about a seo marketing analyst who's a night time serial killer with no trustworthy reason for doing what he does, other than he's a psychopathic noxious lunatic, it makes me sick. I have seen too many detective television dramas and crap films with this old story line, I couldn't care.
