There are smaller problems, like, say, 'Juno'. Teenager gets pregnant. Inspires talk about real teenagers getting pregnant. War movies. I'll go with 'Platoon', because, as I said, it's the one war movie I really like. It inspires real talk about real war. Inspires talk about what went right and what went wrong in Vietnam. How Vietnam vets were treated/mistreated. Is it bad that a fictional medium brings about discussion about a real, horrible event? I personally don't think anything that can bring light--for whatever reason-- to a horrible event is bad. Feel free to disagree.
2. Being empathetic towards fictional characters does not stop me from being empathetic towards real people. And, as I said above, so what if it takes a fictional medium to make me (hypothetical me) aware of these real people, to whom I'm also empathetic? We're often unaware of things not in our immediate life; it's possible to miss the war on a personal level. I'm 17, I have no family or friends in the military, and news exposure has grown limited (at least the news I watch. Probably different elsewhere.); I could easily miss out on actual the horrors of war. Any way that makes you personally attached or inspires you to become personally involved is a good thing, I think.
3. I believe there is something very poignant about pointless violence. I feel terribly, horrifically sad about pointless violence. I feel regret that it happened. I feel piteous to those on whom it was inflicted. I feel all the emotions which poignancy covers. Why shouldn't I?
4. Enjoyment of a movie is not always confined to liking the movie to its entertainment merit alone. As I said above, it inspires real discussion.
And finally, there was no need to personally insult me. I have no problems with you. I have no problems with you disagreeing with me. You can think there's something horrible about people being emotional towards war movies. As I said, I don't like war movies, so this ideology of yours is no slight against me. And there are bad emotions that can be garnered from it, like enjoying people being killed, but I think the good emotions can be productive in gaining awareness for the real issue, so I will never have an issue with people enjoying war movies on an entirely visceral level.

(Anonymous) 2010-05-03 04:06 am (UTC)(link)Inspires talk about what went right and what went wrong in Vietnam It inspires people to judge and criticize people for acting in certain ways in situations that the viewers themselves will likely never face, exploiting those experiences for self righteous moral masturbation. And lol, as if I need your permission to 'feel free to disagree'.
Oh, you're seventeen. Why am I not surprised? Teenagers are always self centred idiots. Like this, baby darling: Any way that makes you personally attached or inspires you to become personally involved is a good thing, I think.
Really? You have to be personally attached or involved with an issue before you give a damn? You can't care about people outside of your monkeysphere? You need someone to make you imagine that it could happen to you before you give a shit?
Well, of course. You're a little kid, you still think the whole world revolves around you and your feelings.
Why should you have to watch a movie to feel sad? For that matter, why the fuck should you have to feel anything at all in order to do something about it?
And who the fuck do you think you are, deciding what's a good or bad emotional reaction to a movie? I think your reactions are pretty self righteous and offensive, but you obviously think they're good and oh so special for a high school student, lol
