Scream and Natural Born Killers are movies with extreme cases of serial killers.
Its a pretty big shocker to think people would actually try to copy these two movies for the simple fact of the actors involved in each one. Were talking about Woody Harrelson here. The same Woody Harrelson that was in the movie White Man Cant Jump, enough said. How and why someone would try and replicate such a fictional story I have no idea. The biggest surprise to me is that these people feel like their actions are justified because they made a movie about what they did. Thats just mind boggling to me.
Realistically movies like Scream and Natural Born Killers will be made forever. Whether it is for better or for worse that these movies should be made is somewhat irrelevant. I have a hard time believing that there will ever be a statute that restricts movie plots. There will always be people in this world that will take fictional stories way too insanely. How can our world predict a movie that is dangerously copycatable? The answer is we cant. Its not the movie that is the problem in this situation, but is the people themselves. As long as we have people in this world, we will have "insanity".
I agree that as long as there are people there will be insanity! I don't think that there should be restrictions on what movies can and cannot be made based on copycats. These people are part of a freak population.
ReplyDeleteI agree and I also think that the ones that believe that certain movies should be banned are basically saying people need to be controlled. They think that individuals can't make decisions on their own. I think that we should have more faith in people and not let the outrageous actions of a few ruin the reputation of the whole.
ReplyDeleteI don't think that those movies will be around forever necesarrily. We, the audience, is supplying a large demand for them, as long as that is there, then they will keep coming. I don't really like movies with a lot of gore and blood and stuff, so therefore, however small a percentage, there is less demand for them. We can't accept current times as inevitable, if that were the case then the gladiator fights and cock fights would still be around.
