I very much agree with Quentin's stance. Violence in movies is purely an art form, the purpose to create dramatic cinema that impacts the viewer. I believe that Quentin Tarentino just wants to make a memorable movie-watching experience, a realistic one, at that. The fact that people are violent in the real world in similar ways has always been true, but now that someone is making really famous films depicting such acts- the media has someone to blame. Movies are just a cheap, scapegoat excuse for why people behave violently, just like video games. The correlation is only speculated, not once proven. Quentin Tarentino is just exhausted with the controversy, which would explain his sass.
Article 2:
I don't necessarily agree with the opinion of LaSalle, I don't believe violence in the media overlaps with real-world violence at all. He states that constantly absorbing this violence through media will encourage the violent behavior. I personally believe that fantasy is easily distinguishable from real life. This is someone Quentin would not agree with!!
Marilyn Manson Article:
I love Marilyn Manson's opinion about humanity and violence! I very much agree that the media needs to stop trying to blame entertainment and using performers as scapegoats for unthinkable crimes. Like Marilyn says, we are all to blame; for senselessly watching and absorbing violence daily. We watch the media cover shootings like Columbine and don't feel a thing, like they aren't real people dying. We hear about our presidents killing people and bringing warfare in other countries, and turn our head. I blame the media for desensitizing our people to violence, not entertainment for causing it.
