Lights Camera Violence

“Packed with nonstop action and adventure!” We hear this quote all the time when previewing movie trailers. It seems all they show on these trailers are the violent scenes, for example, the blowing up of police cars, the gunfights, and sometimes even worse than that. Why does this interest us? I believe it is because happiness and tranquility does not grasp the attention of the audiences anymore. An example of this is how well Bad Boys 2 did in reviews as opposed to From Justin to Kelly. It is a known fact that violence appeals more to viewers more than anything else. Look at video games today; they even have ratings on them because of the gore and violence. As a result, people tend to resort to violence faster in a crisis situation rather than by peaceful alternatives; viewers prefer watching a violent film rather than a romance etc. because it gets their adrenaline rushing; and viewers want to see Hollywood’s opinion on who they will victimize next.

Why were Justin and Kelly’s reviews so bad? The Washington post states “it’s because no one wants to see the same material about a guy meeting a girl, they want to see action!” Sadly the media glorifies violence. Worldwide, viewers r


The sad thing is, no matter how hard we fight to banish or reduce violence in movies and television, it will only intensify. In today’s society, PG-13 films get away with so much more then they used to; basically it is only getting worse. There are other alternatives to avoiding this negative influence. Instead of going to the movies for social events, one can try other options. Here is the main fact; violence in the media 5violence in real life. Except in real life the victims do not receive an award they receive a death certificate. It is sad that the only way television shows and movies receive their ratings is by the amount of violence the creators choose to put in it. Maybe that is why From Justin to Kelly did not do well, because it did not cater to the needs of the movie going population which is dominated by lazy teenagers searching for an easy adrenaline rush caused by violence in the media. The influence of violence can either control your life or you can choose to control your own life.

Why do they use violence in the media? Point blank, because it sells. It caters to the lowest instinct in man. It is cheap entertainment that does not address the intellect. Not many people come out of a movie theatre and analyze the movie they just saw. Viewers leave the movies happy knowing the antagonist has been murdered. Violence as a means has become more acceptable as an alternative to resolve issues. For example, in Bad Boys 2, why did they kill the antagonist instead of arresting him? Because Hollywood knows people will not pay to see that. This is an image of violence that the media makes. Sympathy is never shown for the victim, media manipulates us into thinking they should be dead, and why should we feel bad for the victim. We are once again manipulated by the message that television and film creators are sending us into thinking they deserve
