myLot reputation of 55/100. ramangill (752)   ranked 2,783 out of 9,714 in religion1 year ago

very simple question:-
every time we see a hero fighting in a movie,why we get fascinated???
surf around the net and you ll find thousands of profiles on social networks with their photo albums loaded with pictures of guns and weopons
our most of the biggest Hit movies are based on the wars(eg:-troy,300,gladiator).
we may call ourselves religious(spiritual) from outside but this is the fact that there is still a lot of violence left in ourselves.
so waiting for your views,why we get fascinated???
thanks
peace.

I am not fascinated by violence in films, on TV or on the nightly news.

My dad committed suicide using a sawed-off shotgun, and I'll never forget that day. He was an alcoholic who went too far, but there is no way that violence "fascinates" me.

There is violence waiting to erupt in many of us, but it's certainly no solution.

hmmmsad.
do you like movies like 300 or troy,,which are based on famous wars of past??


myLot reputation of 82/100. rjscott (3074)   ranked 20 out of 9,714 in religion  1 year ago

I enjoyed Troy, but 300 didn't impress me. I tend to rent the videos, lose interest and fall asleep.

So didnt you get fascinated when Brad pit killed that huge guy in the start of the movie???
i think except very few,,we all enjoy violence in some sense.


myLot reputation of 82/100. rjscott (3074)   ranked 20 out of 9,714 in religion  1 year ago

I view movies as entertainment. I don't get fascinated by "make believe," and if that had happened in real life, I'd be disgusted, not fascinated.

"I view movies as entertainment. '
but still the question is same in other way,,why we get entertained by seeing violence(even if in movies)??


myLot reputation of 82/100. rjscott (3074)   ranked 20 out of 9,714 in religion  1 year ago

When I see violence in movies, I KNOW that it is only "make believe." Therefore I can view it as entertainment, knowing it is not real.

Yes i love to see those movie which have pack of action, adventure and thriller, i love to see when a hero fight like superman and kills evils one but i know that it is not real, In my real life i don't like violence and to those people who creates violence.

So movies are for entertainment and in this time i like to see those fantasy types but the reality is what in which environment we are living in that is most people loves non violence, peace, and affections

I think it's common that we never do any acts of violence ourselves, so the fear of the action happening to us is what drives us to be so interested. It's a whole other world full of danger. It's the energy and thrill of it that we can never experience ourselves.
