Is There Over Use Of Violence In Modern Films?

|

By Riaan Carrick


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 actually wouldn't need to live in the inner street areas these dour, forceful dramas are set in. But i have to ask the query does the camera have to focus in so close in all this action. Can nothing get left to the imagination. These films aren't frightening, they are sickening.

It's not a censorship area, only one of taste. Plenty of violent films focus so much on this one area and appear to forget about adding a credible story to the drama. In a large amount of these films there basically seems to be no semblance of a tale. It's concealed extraordinarily behind the chaos. There are so many nefarious characters it's tough to endear oneself to them or perhaps imagine that these pragmatic gritty characters could possibly 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.
