I am just wondering what peoples' thoughts are on violence in films.
I have been mulling this over for a while now and I don't know exactly what to make of it. All this talk of the Passion has made to start to think about it more.
For example, I have seen Kill Bill, which is excessively violent and didn't bother me, but I am not interested in seeing The Passion for this very same reason. Can the two films be compared? Or am I being inconsistent?
If violence is presented in a cartoonish way (Kill Bill), does it make okay? Or is it trivialising something that ought not to be trivialised?
