i think that some of the fault should also go to the parents because if the parents of those murderous kids were paying attention to them, giving them the support they need they wouldnt need to submerge themselves in a world of fantasy as an alternative to the attention they dont get at home!

right, but it's up to the parents to teach their kids right from wrong. it's also up to them to show them appropriate movies and games for their age. you have no idea how many children i saw when i went to go see the matrix reloaded. this movie is definetly not for kids.

mm...it's not exactly an example of 'not for kids' movies....i can name A LOT worse.
but some things are just over education...You don't go around and shoot ppl (reasonless)...that's over what a mom can teach..it's..i dunno..instinct

Rated 'M' in Australia. (reccomended for viewing by audiences 15 years and older) which means you can be less than 15 and watch it. 'MA' is you HAVE to be over 15 and 'R' is you have to be over 18.
Besides, there was less shooting in Matrix Reloaded. And no one lost their heads or got cut in half like in the Patriot or Blade II. And the slashes that Neo makes with those knives when fighting the Meravingian's men doesn't even show up.
The security around the Matrix Reloaded showing is tight here. I walked towards the theater and had to show 5 employees my ticket.
one of meravingian's men gets bashed in the head ..it shows. And that chinese guy at the end...pretty gets bashed up....(it doesn't show though)
And those tiny drops of blood...after neo blocks the blade with the hand...eeeew

hehe...you know..this makes me think..if he can block blades, fly and other stuff..why the hell does he spend any time mearly fighting his opponents ?(besides to create the visuale effects and score at the box office )
there is more violence in the media and the governments of the world commit the most acts of violence but movies and music get blamed for being the SOURCE of more murders than either of these subjects.

Well if you are psychotic for real then no amount of education is going to help. If you are paranoid psychotic with extreme delusions of persecution and other niceties then nothing will help you... not even medication. Do you know how many "functional" psychotics roam the streets adn the country side all over the world. Other than the extreme solution... nothing can be done for these people. So when they see a movie like THE MATRIX or any of the religion based films having to do with God, Christ or Satan and his legions then these people go off the deep end.
They don't have to see movies... They can read books and act out based on their psychosis and needs.
The MATRIX MURDERS did not surprise me. It was coming. I'm quite sure the same thing was happening when TERMINATOR first came out.

if what you say is true, about movies making killers more imaginative...that isnt very comforting! lol!
