Im sorry for being blunt in my last post but I wanted to put my point across in a way that will prevent alot of pointless posts focusing on 4mins approx out of a 90+ min movie.
Untill you can come back and discuss the movie as a whole , in a construtive way , I withdraw from any further comment on the film as I dont think its good for the forum to contine this debate when you cant see the whole movie , only those 4 or 5mins max of it. |
I don't think you were blunt, you were frank but made some valid points.
I think to dismiss a genre of film (or anything for that matter) without really looking into it or gaining information to uphold your argument is very silly and makes you (the person making the statement) look foolish.
I agree with you (and have said so on a previous occasion) that I really do not like animal cruelty in films but your point about directors making a point by including such scenes is right. They are usually political statements (unless it's someone simply out to shock) and should be seen in context. Had the person who said they wanted these films banned done their homework they would have known this and not made a sweeping statement.
I have to say that I really enjoy it when people challenge and question views and opinions but feel incredibly frustrated when someone argues but cannot make a valid point to back up their opinion.
