Violent or Not

Hahahaha Logan: "The Internet is a communication device that allows people of the world to bitch about movies and share pornography with one another" :lol:
 
mr tarantino makes violence seem like such a normal and everyday thing in his movies... which could be a good or bad thing, i dunno.
 
Well it's only a bad thing if you think of his films as reality.. if you think his characters are real people, if you think the scenarios actually happened.. Which is nonsense, his films are purely for entertainment.. he said so himself, he makes films that he would want to watch, they aren't supposed to be documentries.
 
who is Quentin Tarantino ? heh jp,i think violence is pretty good makes the film more exciting,i like mjr's view on the topic
 
if anyone actually took QT movies seriously then you should worry... a lot. i mean look at itchy and scratchy how violent can u get!!
 
Yea thats a funny moment, for those of you who dont know Itchy is dousing Scratchy in gasoline while ''Stuck In The Middle'' is playing. Then a cartoon QT walks in and says something to the jist of ''I mean like violence is everywhere, alright ? Its like on cereal boxes and everything man''.
Here Itchy interrupts by using the razor blade on him.

Ah ... the simpsons
 
I know.. don't you just get all warm & fuzzy thinking about it?

Oh! & itchy & scratchy start dancing to Miserlou.. That rocked.
 
Kill Bill is a violent movie. There's no doubt about that. But the violence is so surreal and so over the top that by the time your done, it almost seems tame. That's why the whole "Do you find me sadistic" scene, and the entire major fight seen, were shown in black and white. Violence, the way we percieve it, just isn't violence without blood. And blood isn't blood unless it bleeds red. In fact, in all of Kill Bill Volume I, the only blood we see is that in the snow after the skull cap comes off.

It's a very well done statement about violence, really.
 
Well, the violence certainly is surreal and over the top.... but you must have been watching a different cut of Kill Bill I than I, if the only "red" blood you see is after the scalping.

They must have had fire hoses attached to half the stunt people in the big fight previous to that... fire hoses attached to high-pressure fake blood that was squirting halfway across the restaurant.
 
I guess I'm probably the only person in the world who doesn't rate Quentin T's recent work.

I think this in large is his attitude to violence. The truth is that violence has consequences. If you've ever been stabbed you'd realise this. The cartoon, manga style violence of Kill Bill divorces us from that. R. Dogs was a much better piece of work. If you compare K Bill with Fight Club, the consquences of the violence are very real, you hit someone they get hurt, someone gets shot, they die. Fight Club is a vastly more sophistocated film.

Actually, I feel pretty shallow for taking the moral high ground here, my first movie is very violent, as are my next two. I can't even say that the next one is a particularly deep piece. Maybe, I need to go and rethink it. Either that or learn to live with my own hypocrisy.
 
Never accept your own hypocracy. I am young. Idon't know much, but I know that hypocracy (even though your "hypocracy isn't that bad) is the most distructive thing in the entire world.

If there were no hypocrites in this world, society would become eutopia in no time!! I am convinced of this.
 
>>Actually, I feel pretty shallow for taking the moral high ground her<<

Is that even possible? ;) Hypocritical maybe, but certainly no reason to feel shallow!

I don't think you should feel badly Clive. Whether your movies take the "high moral ground" or not isn't precisely important. What _is_ important is that you can easily differentiate between the two.
