Arms and legs being chopped off. Blood everywhere. Parts in movies where people are being raped. These are all becoming common scenes that people shouldn’t have to watch just by seeing a movie.
Today’s movies are becoming more and more graphic. Producers can get their point across in being scary without having to show such a picture as someone getting chopped to pieces.
Even television is becoming a lot more intense with their shows and movies. They are becoming a lot more gory, especially in the shows about crimes. When someone is murdered, there is no reason to show it so real. Ratings are becoming almost pointless because even cartoons are starting to show blood. This is an obvious point that should start being addressed.
Another issue with movies and TV is sex. It is becoming a lot more common to have a sex scene in a movie or show rather than none. People shouldn’t have to sit down on a night with the family and turn the television on to the latest show and see a couple discussing or watching them in a sexual act.
On the producer’s point of view, every year people are just getting harder to scare, but the fact that many people are getting used to seeing such scenes is the reason they have to keep adding to their movies. People shouldn’t be okay with watching a person having to kill another person in a very graphic and real way and be able to just go to sleep after seeing it.
Movies and television shows today need to cut back on what they are showing to the public. Pretty soon they won’t have any ratings because kids and adults will be used to seeing such graphic scenes. It needs to stop.
