Also, I read in one review that positive attitudes to wanting to be a vigilante is actually one of the main factors in life that keeps stuff like wars happening, where of course many innocents perish as a result. But I have to ask, how TRUE is it REALLY? For all I know and can conjure up an imagination, wars often happen for reasons related to political conflicts or stuff like religion and whatnot or conflicts that often escalate between forces who can't agree on certain stuff, and its not really (or is it?) relevant to say street vigilantes who attack and execute people they know or perceive as criminals of various kids who get away with it.
Or is there something missing here that I can't fully comprehend? Interestingly enough, on a thread for Michael Haneke's Austrian film "Funny Games" (1997), someone at least mentioned a similar scenario, and also didn't get too surprised or worked up that LIFE in general doesn't work as an action movie where good guys win and evil gets it. And in that film, although it was also about violence in the media and audience's complicity in it, it had two psycho young men torturing and attempting to murder family members. And yet through it, someone saw scenarios that actually relate to wars happening.
But then, if only the bad and guilty folks were to be taken out, would that in any way on its OWN be so bad?
