sex and violence in films

[sd02231]

Sex is nature, too. So what's your point?

[Alexsuper15]

Watch some gore pussys.

Violence is nature fuck faces!!

[BADBRYZ]

What about VIOLENT SEX? There ya go!!!!!

[VEKKU111111111111111]

I always wondered why sex, a natural, beautiful thing, is HORRIBLE and violence is just fun and games. It really reflects the Victorian era mindset our culture still has.

[BobbyDigital1980]

His example of the violence in Sin City makes no sense. The violence in that movie is sci-fi violence. It's not realistic at all and no one thinks of it as realistic. It's stylistic, comic book-type violence.

[QueenAnime99]

@BobbyDigital1980 It's sci-fi violence but it's still pretty graphic. And comic books range in the graphic-ness of the violence they depict.

[XFerginatorX]

I got one for you parents... don't take your kids to R rated movies in the first place. You take you kids to see Silence of the Lambs, now one doesn't want to sleep and the other wants to try and peel a guys face off like the movie and you want to sue the directors or somebody for your ignorance. God that pathetic. That's like giving your kid Xbox live with MW2 and wondering why your 10 year old knows every curse word there is. Parents should be sueing themselves for their own ignorance.

[theRecONcile]

What's that film at 0:56?

[PlaygroundsWillLaugh]

@theRecONcile The Dreamers

[theRecONcile]

@PlaygroundsWillLaugh Thanks.

[Regenmacher175]

show less violence and more sex; if anything has ever been harmful it's the glorification of violence on the screen and richard heffner is right when he says that a psychiatrist has a better undertsanding of what happens in the mind of young offenders.

[michealchall]

Human nature has been no more or no less violent than it was beofre of after the invention film and video, the body count goes up because the population has.

[michealchall]

milions upon millions of people watch and play violent videogames/films and yet there aren't millions of murders based on what someone played or saw.

[AmbroseAmdis1]

meehhihi i feel hony today anyone shares the same feeling as me

[tayfungazi]

ahahahaahah and now ?! it is the normal world its most truely violence dont cry about it u cant stop it....

[ifasmile]

This video explains what I personally think since

years :-)

and as noticed a few reviewers, violence is commonly more accepted than sex, at least in the western world

The skeleton (:-) of our own society personnal general self destruction !

And we all share the responsability, but most

of us don't care !

Check IMDb top10, 50 or 250 best rated movies,

and (on my opinion) you'll understand why we (especially American) have a comportemental

mind's main problem...

Me, I am for Peace and Love :-)

[Angelofmercy01]

what movie was the one girl beingh raped on the pin ball machine?

[luizfelipejovem]

do you know what film is in 00:52? I wanto to know the name, can you tell me?

[PlaygroundsWillLaugh]

@luizfelipejovem The Dreamers

[zirman316]

The human mind is like the human body, "You are what you eat". Not just Americans but the world is obsessed with sex and violence, they have been and are continually being programmed to be so. If they took all violence and sex out of media, the world would lose it. It would be like taking crack from a crackhead, immediate withdraw. Our brains have been programmed to reward us when we watch this content.  The more intense it is, the more dopamine we receive, its not fiction, its science.

[capistranopaolo]

america is rated #1 for having the most serial killers in the world

[igortube]

Actually English speaking countries other than the U.S. (which are often Christian) share the same "repressed" outlook on sexual matters when it comes to classification of film/

At least in the UK and Austrailia. Canada i'm not too sure about.

As for the topic, sex and violence are two completely things. Violence is legitimate in everything from war to religion to law and order to sport. The God of the old testament had no qualms killing or ordering to kill. Sex is simply different thing.

[rozerang]

öööööööööööööööööööööööööööööö­ööööööö

[anthony9thompson]

Heres a point...In movies, why is homosexual rape seen a funny?

[GeoWing2]

think about it like this you just watched two films with your child one has a sex scene and the other is a slasher film the child has never scene a thing like this. would you rather tell you child about sex and love or that there are people in the world that love to go around and kill others not becuase they are trying to survive but just do it because they can.

[ODK1413]

bahasa jawi satu bahasa satu nusantara

[templarart]

I am PROUD that America places violence below sex in the ratings. This signifies that the pussification of America is not complete. We have NOT yet become a country of whiny carebears crying over every gun used in a movie. Violence IS and SHOULD be a part of action movies. Bodily functions are fine as porn or voyeurism and shouldn't be illegal - but seriously, "Die Hard", "Monster's Ball" - which would you rather your kid watched?

[Poseidon5421]

I don't let my kid watch either. Consider this...which is the more human condition and action? Firing a gun at someone or having sex with someone?

For some reason, firing a gun and killing someone is ok, but showing a set of breasts onscreen is bad bad bad.

If you're truly worried about what kids see, consider for a moment what you consider better for them. Violence, or natural, human instinct.

[templarart]

"...what you consider better for (kids). Violence or natural, human instinct."

Violence, hands down.

... and it's not "human instinct" - it's "human bodily functions" - violence is also a human instinct.

Would you rather find your kids in the backyard playing "War" or playing "Deep Throat"? Really? What happense when a child playfully tries to hump another child on the playground? The police and CPS are called.

[Poseidon5421]

So...violence is human instinct, but making a child is "bodily functions". Brilliant deduction.

You are the human embodyment of the Slippery Slope fallacy. If kids see a pair of breasts, they aren't all of a sudden going to become obsessed with them...forget the fact that they sucked on them for months on end in their infancy, therefore psychologically rendering them as images of nurturing. No, let's give them guns instead.

Like I said...brilliant deduction.

[templarart]

So didn't feel much like answering the question huh?

Does it surprise you that I work in the adult industry? I don't mind that adults have access to adult material but what is the purpose of providing kids with imagery that can only do them harm at a young age?

In the meantime - violence is a part of our history, folk tales, culture, civilization - every major mythology, religion and even Grimm's Fairy tales!

Would you rather catch your children in the backyard playing "War" or "Sex"?

[Poseidon5421]

I answered your question in my first post when I said I don't expose my child to either.

Believe it or not, sex is a pretty big part of our history as well...it's kind of why we're still here.

You're playing with the Overgeneralization fallacy. Like children only have two choices in backyard games - War and Sex. I'm not sure where you grew up, but I'm pleased to advise you there is more choice now-a-days.

Where you work has no bearing. Does it surprise you I work with children?

[templarart]

Dramatized sex is NOT an important part of anything I mentioned. Sex is always implied whereas dramatized violence is an important, or many times, pivotal part of drama.

Try to rewrite or rerelease "Lord of the Rings", "Star Wars", "The 7 Samurai", "MacBeth" without violence... SILLY! Now find some major movie or novel that couldn't exist without explicit sex. I can't think of a single example.

It's just a silly argument that sex should be at a lower rating than violence.

[Poseidon5421]

I agree that violence can play an important role in pushing a narrative or film. But so does sex. Can you explain Romeo & Juliet without allowing the star-crossed lovers to consumate their marriage? Ridiculous...

We live in a country with more deaths by guns than any other, while other countries with a reversed perspective on sex and violence in film have record low violent crimes and teen pregnancy. Stats don't lie.

[templarart]

Romeo and Juliet does not have an explicit sex scene - I think I would've remembered that.

"We live in a country with more deaths by guns than any other"

Yet the area with the most gun deaths has the most restrictive gun laws: Washington DC.

"other countries with a reversed perspective on sex and violence..." will be holding hands and singing "Kum-ba-ya" while their governments are overthrown by Islamofascists. Not impressed.

[Poseidon5421]

Sorry, your argument on DC refutes itself, and explicit sex is only allowed in pornography, which is not what "This Film is Not Yet Rated" is addressing.

Your final paragraph in regards to "kum-ba-ya" and Islamofascists is subject to serious debate. Apparantly low teen-pregnancy rates and less violent death is a negative...at least that's the way it seems.

[NatSci]

It's an interesting question. Neither film is for children, but in the UK the R-rated version of Die Hard is rated "18", whereas the original NC-17 version of Monster's Ball is only rated "15"!

That seems about right to me. America is almost alone in the western world in finding graphic violence more acceptable than brief modest sex scenes like those in Monster's Ball. To a non-American this seems bizarre, but as long as Americans are fine with it, then to each his own I guess.

[Freddirector]

Honestly, the worst thing a kid could watch in a movie is rape. Because even thou all the stuff in movies are fake, rape never looks fake.

[munir7]

can u name movie 2:22 to 2:40

[thisisspecials]

[cruch971]

le sex est bien

[rots28]

This film looks interesting. I'd like to see it.

[NiceShop4u]

RAPE SCENES SHOULD BE NOT DECRIBED ON MOVIES. iT CREATES VERY BAD IMPACTS ON KIDS AND EVEN ADULTS.

[michealchall]

@NiceShop4u Then all acts of murder, killing, violence in general should not be shown, there's no difference you hypocrite.

[iKurayami]

@NiceShop4u

So we're all supposed to just act like rape doesn't exist? We should put it out of our minds?

Why would children be watching movies with rape scenes in them in the first place? And If an adult isn't mature enough to handle a FAKE RAPE scene in a movie, then... I have nothing to say.

If anything, it helps people become more aware of the effects of rape and how to avoid it.

What you're suggesting would have no beneficial results, in my opinion.

[yerk3]

Wow. Censorship is such blatant bullshit.

[yammagata]

nc-17 but, there used to be an x rating but they hardly use it.

[creditviggo]

wow!...which one is the highest?

R or NC-17???

[LygarZro]

nc-17

[05506686]

R 4 sure

[crazyair2006]

NC-17 is higher it replace the x rating because people started ascociating x with porn and that was not the case in most cases. An R rating states that no-one under 17 can view a film unless they are accompined by a parent or guardian. NC-17 states to view the movie you have to be 17 or older no acceptions. To sum up: a 10 year could see a R movie if mom or dad took them but couldn't get in even if mom or dad was there if it was NC-17

[MEDIOCREVIDEOS]

NC-17 is worst because people under 17 can get into R whith an adult. NC-17 No acceptions unlest you sneek in or Bribe some one that works at the theaters. Either way if you get cought your fucked.
