What in the world is man’s fascination with killing people. The most recent film I saw that I hated the ending was The Departed - Let me say right now if this movie wins an Academy Award I will lose all faith in the Academy to make future decisions... - The Departed was a good film, the cinematography was excellent, the writing seemed good, the acting was brilliantly phenomenal. I thought it was over all a good movie until the end.. Yes the end destroyed all hope of this movie ever getting a good mark with me. It had a lot of killing in it. Pointless killing. Now let me tell you I’ve seen plenty of movies with killing in it, but for some reason this act of pointless killing put me over the top.
That wasn’t the only film that has pointless killing in it. To name a few Saw, Hostel, Hannibal Rising. The last ‘horror’ film I saw was Hostel. That film will probably be the last horror film that I will watch. Although I will watch Frank Peretti and Ted Dekker’s House which is said to be like a horror film. I will not support pointless killing anymore. Films that are made to just show people killing other people just for the heck of it, shouldn’t even have the privilege of being called a film.
As Christians we should protest these films. Make Hollywood know that we don’t support these kinds of films. These films are wrong. Not just because they promote violence - I don’t really believe films with violence cause people to be violent, I’ve grown up watching violent films and am not a violent person, in fact I’m a very gentle person - But because these films have no meaning but people torturing and killing other people. It’s savage. Now I know I’m starting to sound like those crazy Christians whom protest every single thing but I don’t usually protest anything. But these films I will stand bold at protesting. They are just wrong in my eyes.
I think I could go into psychology - which I have considered many times, but decided not to join the ranks of a bunch of crack pots - and still not understand what man’s fascination with people torturing and killing other people.
