What do you guys think about violance in movies ? I love them anything with blood guts and explosons is good for me. Anyone else love violance movies?

spellcheck is your friend

I love violence in movies. Always have.

I don't go to watch the film because of the violence/gore factor, just happens to be part of the film I want to see.

Violence/gore in film doesn't bother me at all.

Yep. Fixed the title.

I reakon the violence in films helps bring some of the the movie to life imo.

Some violence is stupid. Like A History of Violence. And Robocop where Murphy gets mutilated. But for the most part I'm cool with it.

Depends on the movie I'm watching.

Violence sometimes is the key element to the story and gives a movie its punch like the ending of This is England.

I like PG violence and R violence. Depending on the film being watched.

What about black on black violence? Domestic?

Domestic violence makes me cum. Expecially when the woman dies.

Expecially?

Violence is as much a part of life as anything else, I don't see why anyone would have a problem with it being depicted in art.

I wouldn't say that they take it too far. I'd say sometimes it's just in movies to get the attention of certain groups of potential viewers, without and artistic merit whatsoever.

Call me crazy, but I hate it when animals die. Don't know why, though.

And I like my violence in movies. Though, the amount of it depends on the genre- I obviously wouldn't expect the same level of gore in a horror movie and a superhero movie.

I find it really odd how people literally just say "I like violence in films". Is that as far as you're going to go in explaining yourselves? So any violence in films is right up your street, is it? Perhaps they should start releasing fake snuff films, seems like it'd be perfect for you lot.

I know there are horror fans out there but the violence in them is too much for me to watch e.g Saw, Hostel 1 and 2

I think that the amount of violence and whether or not it's ok depends on the movie.

It's stuff like this that makes me cross the road when I see a teenager walking down the street...

its only a film

Films like Hostel, and Saw are nothing new in the gore department, far more disturbing and gory films from a few decades ago.

i love you impediment...

as for violence in films...i think films that have an overabundance of background violence tend to get overlooked...saving private ryan for example had people picking up their own limbs and random people being burned and have their faces blown off...but it gets skipped over by the psyche for some random reason (with me anyway)

much more effective are the single, extreme acts of brutality...the rabbit poachers in pans labyrinth or the fire extinguisher scene in irreversible for example...they are relatively isolated and have huge intensity...clearly they have shock value but...but not purely for the sake of it like films such as saw and hostel do...they serve a purpose...they show a character trait and the reaction to an extreme action respectively...they are neccesary but still extreme

other examples of brilliantly portrayed violence

the baseball bat scene in "casino"
the ear scene in "reservoir dogs"
the bayonet stabbing in "saving private ryan" (by miles the most effective and affecting death in the film)

I've always thought that the scene where Ray Liotta bashes that bloke's face in with the butt of a gun, is an awesome piece of on screen violence. In Goodfellas, to you people that don't know good films.

I love violence in movies.


Depends on the violence, though.

I don't like people getting raped. However, I like it if the raper gets waaaaay the f***ed up later in the film.

I find it funny how people die or when people scream after losing a limb. I don't think I'd find it funny if it were real, though. There's something about pretending that your arm actually got cut off that is morbidly humorous to me.

I think that some films have captured gore really well and others make it seem gross but fail horribly.

I love horror. I love watching the bad guys make hamburger of the protagonists.

I think it's along the lines that when we go into a movie, like Saving Private Ryan, we are expecting the violence because violence is naturally associated with war.

Just a random comment but I read that Spielberg's meaning behind that scene was how the U.S. stood by while the Holocaust happened and didn't act. Mellish being the Jews, the German soldier being the Nazi's and Upham being the U.S.
