What’s with movies and violence ?? Thinking of it, almost a big chunk of mainstream movies (Hollywood and Indian alike) have it in them that the complexity of the story can only be resolved by an out and out fight towards the end. The other day i was watching a movie deemed the latest trend setter in malayalam, the movie was back to back fighting for a good 2 hours. Some scenes were of the extremely violent kind themselves, I just happened to look at the seat directly in front of me and there were two little girls watching the entire movie with rapt attention…are we giving these young ones the right messages ??

Villains in movies are blessed with arrogance,thick headedness, ruthlessness and well….almost everything that we associate with villainy in excess. I think it is this reason that makes us all feel happy inside when the protagonist beats the living daylights out of him/her. More of it might have to do with the fact that the hero(ine) accomplishes on screen what we could not or cannot in real life. How these would impact the younger generation is something to be thought of…I come from a state where kids become goons at the age of 16 or 17. Could these movies have impacted their psyche somehow ??

Questions & questions but alas I have no answers to them…..
