They are too violent,Originally Posted by catherine
I am unable to maintan mental distance from all of the war horror. And it is too bad because
I missed several good ones of recent years.
I saw bits and pieces of Hacksaw Ridge on an airplane but missed the story arc, so might as well have not watched those bits.
The last war film I watched was not too long ago, American Sniper and it was good.
Also I dont go to Holocaust films and havent in some years. I am no longer going to Tarantino films.
When I was young I could read anything and see anything and those images didnt take up residence in my brain, but no longer. I remember being a young librarian and library patrons in their 60’s talked about how they couldnt read books with violence in them and I didnt understand. Now I do. Perhaps this mental shift comes about because as we age, we understand the fragility of human flesh, it isnt an abstract concept any more.
