A thread about enjoying cinematic violence or violent cinema or even, you know, s***** one as such...

... and, besides obvious examples of certain films with certain not only themes but scenes explicitly portrayed, which most normal people can't or won't be able to "enjoy" but still having an appreciation for them or not, I wonder...

And I won't ask any legal questions here but I would kindly appreciate it if the law wasn't TOO strong alone a focus here BUT... Neither are knee-jerk reactions or suspicions of any kind - Its just a film, folks.

But is it alright if I actually ENJOY watching violent films and violence in them and even see say bloody scenes beautifully portrayed of one or another type of variety, but we will imagine gory killings and whatnot.

And on different but sometimes related side - what about T&A films with s***** material in them as such, including exploitation flicks of the Jess Franco, Jean Rollin, Walerian Borowczyk and Alain Robbe-Grillet's varieties and having NO problem with them at all? Or does it make us naughty voyeurs WORTHY of criticism?

ALSO. Cinema sometimes sees some "material" as two sides of the opposite coin, and many films aren't morality tales either but are not meant to encourage certain behaviour either. But then again, do we agree that FILMS and REAL LIFE are two different things, mostly but not exclusively due to the fact that what happens in films isn't real and in life it certainly is - but also, life has CONSTANT responsibility for us issues and we don't view life overall as good guys versus bad guys either although OF COURSE some deeds are bad and wrong and punishable and others not encouraged but also strongly spoken against by certain individuals - and is there logic to it all?

Plus, I never enjoyed violence in REAL LIFE, even people hitting others much less killing and stuff. It often SADLY happens yes but... You get the picture.

But anyways, is it alright if I enjoy violence and related stuff in movies, and on a lesser note, s*x scenes as such or at least don't mind and float through them, with one issue not making me a sadist and the other even a naughty voyeur and others in between here and there?

P.S. I am in many ways an adventurous film goer and watcher and in life I like to think we can have many varieties of fun. Is that also alright, cheers.
