I find it odd how a portion of the public are quick to judge and criticize films that have a graphic subject matter, while major news stations show murder and death 24 hours a day to the masses. On top of that they insert a nice comfortable pharmaceutical add to sooth the senses. Tragedy is the main selling point for the news in this day and age. That being said with the advancement of social media the average person is subjected to real sensationalized images of real acts of murder on the daily. I'm talking about beheadings, car accidents, footage of wars in the middle east and so forth. With the recent spike of mass shootings, exploits of the killers manifesto is usually recited and played on a continuous cycle by CNN, FOX NEWS and MSNBC.
You have kids under the age of 9 seeing and hearing about violence, and the status quo doesn't bat an eye. Films, video games and music are always the scape goats for greedy politicians, lobbyist and individual partisans with an agenda.
I find films & music that have a social message pose a threat to big players in our
society. These big players are a committee who control censorship. The reason for this is censorship is a form of control, and our society relies on this committee to shape young minds. Why do they want to shape our young minds you ask? So they can create new slaves of consumers to fuel the capitalist pocket. Black Friday, Boxing Day and other pagan holiday's need consumers who watch their form of violence(racial divide, narrative that relies on ignorance)and consumer consumption that numb the mind leaving it an empty shell.
As the final fallout of sensationalized news play out on the daily(ISIS, Ferguson and Ebola epidemics) the media needs its beginning, middle and end with an audience to sell it. So the next time you find a film or video game being banned in your hometown keep in mind of the news station playing carnage on heavy rotation and the hypocrites who are willing to go along with it!
