In most cases, I think that violence on screen is pretty much a caricature. I don't think that the majority of us are being desensitised to real life violence and suffering.
There's a certain aesthetic to movie violence which is always going to be missing in tapes of real stuff... I think it's this lack of cinematography / lighting / staging which lets us instantly realise that we're watching something which is serious.
Most of us probably have a lot of experience of being a witness to figurative violence, but (hopefully) far less of real violence - there's no reason that that on-screen depictions should realistically portray death (unless the director / crew went to great lengths to mimic real life snuff .. which would be gratuitous and sick behaviour).
- So Band of Brothers did a pretty good job being gratuitous and sick, right?Arvizu
- I think that particular series involved quite impressive cinematography.. which snuff film are you suggesting was used for reference?********
- used for reference?********
- i misunderstood you to mean that anything that looked realistic could be compared to snuff--not actually modeled after a snuff film... sorry. Band of Brother's is insanely well done, and seemingly realistic.Arvizu
- < film... sorry. Band of Brother's is insanely well done, and seemingly realistic.Arvizu
