Top Violent Movies Quotes

Violent Movies Quotes By Bobby Farrelly

I know people watch our movies and they'll see a lot of images - they call it gross-out - that they don't like, and I understand that. It's an important movie and one that's extremely well done, but the amount of violent imagery was not for me. — Bobby Farrelly

Violent Movies Quotes By James Hillman

Mediocrity is no answer to violence. In fact, it probably invites violence. At least the mediocre and the violent appear together as in the old Western movies - the ruffian outlaw band shooting up main street and the little white church with the little white schoolteacher wringing her hands. To cool violence you need rhythm, humor, tempering; you need dance and rhetoric. Not therapeutic understanding. — James Hillman

Violent Movies Quotes By Eli Roth

I like movies that work on two levels - like The Simpsons, kids can watch it and adults can watch it. Teenagers can watch Hostel and if they want to see a blood and guts violent movie they're going to have a great time. They're going to scream and yell, it's a great date movie because they're going to squeeze their date and their date is probably going to be too scared to go home ... so you take them home and put on Dirty Dancing and everybody wins. — Eli Roth

Violent Movies Quotes By Uma Thurman

More than just romantic comedy, I like romances: drama romance, romance comedy, comedy romance. I also go to the movies to escape. There are times when you go to learn, when you go to be moved, you go to be transported, and there are really times when you go to escape. And I personally escape more happily into a romance than I do violent movies. — Uma Thurman

Violent Movies Quotes By Jay-Z

We give violent movies a pass but come down hard on a rapper like Scarface, who is ultimately a storyteller just like Brian de Palma. And neither of them is responsible for the poverty and violence that really do shape people's lives
not to mention their individual choices. — Jay-Z

Violent Movies Quotes By Ellen Hopkins

Why are people so afraid of giving their kids necessary information that might prevent an unwanted pregnancy or disease? But they're not worried about the violent nature of video games or movies or books ... — Ellen Hopkins

Violent Movies Quotes By Park Dietz

One of the problems with studies that examine the effects of violent imagery is that they typically use mentally healthy psychology students. If you want to do a meaningful study, show movies like Body Double and Copycat to a group of sexual psychopaths the day before you release them. — Park Dietz

Violent Movies Quotes By Richard King

Violent behavior exists in one's psychological makeup much deeper than the level that receives information from television or movies. — Richard King

Violent Movies Quotes By Suge Knight

When you're dealing with TV and with movies, people dont take it as serious as they do with music. If a rapper does a song about shooting people on the block, and goes into a restaurant or grocery store, people grab their purses because they're afraid the person is violent. With TV and movies, people know it's okay, it's just a script. — Suge Knight

Violent Movies Quotes By Gaspar Noe

I feel very protected when I see a movie. That's why I like making violent movies or radical movies. — Gaspar Noe

Violent Movies Quotes By Seth Grahame-Smith

Sometimes we see the Civil War in movies and imagine these neatly aligned rows of men with muskets, walking in line to shoot each other. In reality the things that fascinated me were how absolutely ruthless and violent so many engagements were, how much suffering and how men were not prepared. — Seth Grahame-Smith

Violent Movies Quotes By Richard King

If a violent act towards a woman takes place, and the inspiration for that act is violence in cinema, the inspiration for that act would have come from somewhere else if movies didn't exist. — Richard King

Violent Movies Quotes By Harvey Weinstein

I've been involved with violent movies, and then I've also said at a certain point, 'I can't take it anymore. Please cut it.' You know, you've got to respect the filmmaker, and it's a really tough issue. — Harvey Weinstein

Violent Movies Quotes By George Carlin

Movies and television don't make you violent; all they do is channel the violence more creatively. — George Carlin

Violent Movies Quotes By Woody Allen

I'm sure there are people in Hollywood, whose main drive in film is to make money, who will feel that any use of the word hijacking or any reference to anything violent or remotely associated with the terrible tragedy that occurred will lose customers for them. And that will be the only criterion that will matter and so they'll force the minions that work for them to remove these things from their movies, or not make movies about that subject. — Woody Allen

Violent Movies Quotes By Rob Zombie

I love all kinds of movies. I'd especially like to make some, you know, violent crime drama. — Rob Zombie

Violent Movies Quotes By Takashi Miike

I'm not a big fan of violent movies, it's not something I like to watch. And it's not my aim or goal to make a violent movie. My characters are very important, so when I'm trying to depict a certain character in my movie, if my character is violent, it will be expressed that way in the film. You cannot really deny what a character is about. To repeat, my movie end up becoming violent, but I don't start with the intent of making violent movies. — Takashi Miike

Violent Movies Quotes By Assata Shakur

The abnormal, the sick, the vicious have become more and more interwoven into the violent culture of the United States. Into the way news is seen, into the way movies are seen. — Assata Shakur

Violent Movies Quotes By Zoe Helene

I can't relate to the people who shoot wolves. I'm guessing the person who shot Wolf 06 wouldn't relate much to me either. You let people go out and shoot hundreds of wolves and watch violent movies, and then you're surprised when they go on a rampage shooting other humans. You can't separate violence like that. — Zoe Helene

Violent Movies Quotes By Julie Taymor

But I don't think there has ever been anything written on the nature of violent man as deep and as thorough as Shakespeare's Titus. I think it puts all modern movies and modern exploitations of violence to shame. — Julie Taymor

Violent Movies Quotes By Denis Villeneuve

My movies are very often violent and dark, but there's a spectrum of light, and that light is coming from the women. — Denis Villeneuve

Violent Movies Quotes By Eli Roth

I love historical movies. I want to make a violent medieval epic. — Eli Roth

Violent Movies Quotes By Daniel Craig

I guess you could say I've been in my share of violent movies. — Daniel Craig

Violent Movies Quotes By Katelyn Beaty

Laura Waters Hinson, an award-winning documentary filmmaker based in Washington, D.C., described it to me: If you think about the fact that 95 percent of all movies you see are created through a male lens - that's a staggering thought. The vast majority of the media that we consume, that is shaping our souls in a lot of ways, is created by men. And I love men! But no wonder so much of it is violent or sexualized. This — Katelyn Beaty

Violent Movies Quotes By David Graeber

Why are we so confused about what police really do? The obvious reason is that in the popular culture of the last fifty years or so, police have become almost obsessive objects of imaginative identification in popular culture. It has come to the point that it's not at all unusual for a citizen in a contemporary industrialized democracy to spend several hours a day reading books, watching movies, or viewing TV shows that invite them to look at the world from a police point of view, and to vicariously participate in their exploits. And these imaginary police do, indeed, spend almost all of their time fighting violent crime, or dealing with its consequences. — David Graeber

Violent Movies Quotes By Lev L. Spiro

I don't think that movies are too violent. But I do think that popcorn is too expensive, and this can often lead to violence. — Lev L. Spiro

Violent Movies Quotes By Nathanael West

Their boredom becomes more and more terrible. They realize that they've been tricked and burn with resentment. Every day of their lives they read the newspapers and went to the movies. Both fed them on lynchings, murder, sex crimes, explosions, wrecks, love nests, fires, miracles, revolutions, war. This daily diet made sophisticates of them. The sun is a joke. Oranges can't titillate their jaded palates. Nothing can ever be violent enough to make taut their slack minds and bodies. They have been cheated and betrayed. They have slaved and saved for nothing. — Nathanael West

Violent Movies Quotes By Thomas Randall

Tell me you didn't really watch Nausicaa."
Miho tried to keep a serious face, which must have been difficult enough in her flannel Hello Kitty pajamas. But the girl was a terrible liar. She smirked.
"No. Kiki just ended. So much for our Miyazaki marathon."
"We got through two movies," Sakura said. "Tonight, that's a marathon."
They'd wanted to watch movies tonight, just to clear their minds, and had agreed on nothing violent. All three of them loved the films of Miyazaki, who had become perhaps the most successful director in Japan while making only animated films. Kara had vetoed Howl's Moving Castle because she'd seen it too recently, and they had all seen My Neighbor Totoro far too many times, so they had started with Spirited Away. — Thomas Randall

Violent Movies Quotes By Bell Hooks

Even though some individual scholars try to tell us there is no direct connection between images of violence and the violence confronting us in our lives, the commonsense truth remains- we are affected by the images we consume and by the states of mind we are in when watching them. If consumers want to be entertained, and the images shown us as entertaining are images of violent dehumanization, it makes sense that these acts become more acceptable in our daily lives and that we become less likely to respond to them with moral outrage or concern. Were we all seeing more images of loving human interaction, it would undoubtedly have a positive impact on our lives. — Bell Hooks

Violent Movies Quotes By Xavier Dolan

I was a very violent kid. I think movies and writing and art have been a way of channeling this. — Xavier Dolan

Violent Movies Quotes By Louis Gossett Jr.

'Avatar' was gorgeous. There are good stories in there, but when used in other movies they're similar to those violent video games. Characters using deadly weapons. The children follow these movies. — Louis Gossett Jr.

Violent Movies Quotes By Nathanael West

Violent Movies Quotes By Vincent Cassel

I really like romantic comedies and light movies and everything but I think - I don't know where it comes from - but when you're doing violent movies, you're closer to reality. — Vincent Cassel
