Essey about violence in movies

Nowadays it’s normal to watch horror films even as a teenager. Many films are very cruel and not made for young people, although they are the vast majority of the audience. Should we ban movies, which show brutal scenes?

Supporters say that people don’t get violent because of such films, but we know that every action in our life influences the subconscious. Therefore we should look after what and how long we watch films. I mean it can’t be good for people to spend hours of hours in front of the television and watch bloody scenes. I cannot fancy that the films with cruel sequences don’t hebetate persons.

Surely, society is also violent without films like “Natural Born Killers” or “Kill Bill”, but it gives always individual cases in which psychos will imitate what they have seen in movies. Time and again you can read in the newspapers that people began to kill after they have seen horror films. I don’t no the exactly number of amok running people in the USA, but the number increases year by year and even one person is killed in the case of a horror film it is too much.

At times a brutal or cruel scene makes the film more thrilling, but the producers more and more go over the top and want to provoke and make the people intrigue with their massacres.

The horror films surely will not be banished by the film industry, but the age-limit should be more strictly anyway because Kids and teenagers are influenceable. An adult will discern good and evil, therefore it will not be so dangerous for him. But many children spend the afternoons without a control at home, so it is possible for them to watch horror movies. A blockade of the television or the DVD player is mostly difficult because the Kids know the technical systems quiet better than there parents.

Finally everybody must make his/her own decision, but the Kids have to be secured so I am against such brutal films and want to prohibit incidences.
