Реферат: Violence On Screen Essay Research Paper In

beaten up, cut up, or strangled by the witty mouse Jerry. It did not even strike

me as violence, but it was. I watched Tom & Jerry a few days ago, I realized

that the whole show was based on Tom and Jerry trying to kill each other. Tom

trying to kill Jerry to eat him or keep his master and mistress happy and Jerry

trying to kill Tom to save his life. There weren’t a lot of weapons used in Tom

& Jerry except for a few explosives here and there but never any guns like

in many big screen movies.Everyone loves to go to the movie theatre with their

over priced snacks and sticky floors, but what makes movies sell? The films that

make the most money at the box offices are usually action films that have many

fist fights, explosives and big guns. Independence Day grossed more at the box

offices than any other film in history. The movies plot was typical. A group of

fearless humans attempts to save the earth from vicious extraterrestrial. Will

Smith fist fought aliens, blew up planets and clobbered all the bad guys. The

movie was consisted of a visual feast of explosives, property damages, and

incredible sound effects. Independence Day was to Sci-Fi what Twister was to

disaster films. Although Independence Day contained a massive amount of violence

almost every person in America went to see it, and loved it. Just because our

culture loves violence on screen, it does not mean that we all have sick and

tormented minds, we are not all just killers waiting to happen. Our culture is

obsessed with real issues being dramatized . There is nothing wrong with having

violence in films and on T.V. If a person wants to sit down and watch Will Smith

blow up a planet and save the world, then they have that right. I personally

enjoy watching action films with explosives, fistfights and death counts at

nearly one hundred. I love the feeling of leaving the theatre in awe of what I

just saw. Violence is apart of our culture both on and off the screen, only we

can make light of a serious matter through the production of films, talk shows

and cartoons.
