Re: Violence on TV

[(Anonymous)]

In terms of watching, the more stylised something is, the easier it is for me to enjoy it, because there's this visible extra layer of insulation between what I'm watching and reality. The more realistic things get, the harder it is for me to watch it. So something like Sin City is fine, but things like We Were Soldiers or the torture scene in Pan's Labyrinth give me the horrors. Or the sledgehammer in Misery, because she goes about it so clinically and normally that it just ...

Also, violence from the POV of the perpetrator is easier to watch than violence from the POV of the victim or violence that focuses on the victim's reactions/experiences. This does make me feel bad sometimes, because staying in the perpetrator's POV because it makes the reality of the action easier feels like a bad mindset to be getting into, but I basically just get too panicky sometimes to bear it from the victim's POV.

I tend to be a touch on the sensitive side. Several of my family say I'm brilliant to watch horror movies/shows with because my reactions tend to be a touch over the top. Apparently I have the best horrified/appalled expressions, and actually do tend to jump and flinch a lot. I also really hate slapstick humour based on 'funny' injuries, and even clip humour shows tend to make me more horrified than amused.

However, overall I don't actually mind the presence of violence on screen (except when it's being played for bad humour), though I reserve the right to yell and flinch at the screen and leave the room at certain junctures, and spend four hours with my hands tucked into my armpits after watching Pan's Labyrinth.
