Many people complain about the violence in movies and tv. I can honestly don't see much violence, either place, because I am highly selective in what I see. I had a discussion with a friend the other day about this topic. It reminded me that I had written an article a while ago, and traced it.
It is a true story that happened in december, 1994. in retrospect feel this story more as a planned experiment than a spontaneous happening.
I participated in three movies within a period of seven days.Where I fine at that time in Santa Monica, I had the luxury of being in easy walking distance from five cinemas, which can show a total 22 movies simultaneously. most is hot out of the Studio. (I still live in Santa Monica, but longer slightly away from these theatres).
The first film was "Legends of the Fall," which all can admit is violent.How I got to one is a mystery why I stayed is more a mystery. maybe it was so I could have this experience and tell it.
The second film was "Jungle Book", which parents are actually small children to see! I found it extremely violent and distorted.
The third was "I.Q.," a movie, I found beautiful. Wa whom! Walter Matthau is one of my all-time favorite actors. No violence.Many will probably say "no depth," as I drag my shoulders without comments. I went to the movie to be entertained, and became. I have a lot of depth in my work every day.
So now you know the films, here experiences. Blood and gore date across the screen in "Fall Legends", I watched sometimes and closed most often I eyes. About three quarters of the way to the end began advertising that normally appears at the beginning to play. The audience exploded!
Yelling and feet stomping became the norm. One man in particular seemed to go berserk. He screamed obscenities and could not say more than three words before repeating his favorite words, "(f) ___ ing."
I do not ever have been in a riot, but it felt as if we were about to happen. I sent lots of love and light to the projectionist and to the audience. Soon played the right Reel.OOPS, no sound. More scorn from the audience of the movie the sound came then .... More scorn to rewind and start new Reel again.Finally, the movie, even though I have no memory of how ended.
Several days later, I was off to the second film on another theatre ...."Jungle Book," a classic, deemed to be a children's movie. Audience comprised day little boys and girls accompanied by adults.Children were very afraid.This was a tense fright, however not an exciting.
Three quarters of the way through the movie bread. Audience exploded with yells and screams.The theatre was not as crowded as the previous movie, or the answers would undoubtedly have been multiplied.Soon the movie back to the screen to its finale.
Several days later, I took part in "I.Q." on a third theatre.This is a romantic comedy that require Puzzle of Albert Einstein with tee-hees and broad smile to audiences throughout.
Are you ready for this?, three-quarters of the way through the movie bread. Not a sound came from the audience. All sat quietly, waiting for the repair or whatever was necessary; This soon as has been done, and the movie is playing in the end without interruption.
Something in me wants to conclude this article with a profound and her brief phrase that summarizes the whole experience. But something stronger in me just want to stand on its own--you make it you want. It is a true story.
