Week 1

In the article written by Mark LaSalle, is about the numbing of the outcome of violence in our culture. Kids see a death of a person, their body gored, mangled, and guts everywhere, they become senseless to the entire ordeal. To me i still see a body in the movie as a real life body and still freak out. I can't even see a bird being killed in the 6th Harry Potter movie... But in the article he explains that today's media and movies they glorify the death scene in any movie.

The second article of  Quentin Tarantino he explains that there needs to be a defined line between movie violence and real life violence. Fight scenes in movies are a staple to everyone!! so he believes that there is no real connection to the real life violence and movie magic. I grew up playing playing video games and watching cage fighting through my ATA taekwondo academy and I didn't want to punch or even cause injury. But, some people are easily swayed.

Marylin Manson explains that his music is just music, that he as a single person shouldn't be blamed for the killings at the Columbine Shooting. The two teenagers who did the shooting were really a product of bullying. I was living in Colorado at the time of the shooting too, the state acted amazingly to the crisis. But plastering their faces everywhere. Some shooting that I know of have began as a way to get noticed.
