Cinema = Entertain! ? ! ... Naah... Poem by Elena Sandu

Cinema = Entertain! ? ! ... Naah...



If you have
time to throw
away
If you have
money to melt.
If you have the will
to be manipulated.
If you wish to keep
your brain
washed. Shallow.
Then:
Go, to sit still
between three walls
and a giant screen,
to watch the same
stories again
and again.
The same scenes
the same people
the same tricks
the same guns
the same kiss
the same aliens
or vampires!
The only
difference
is that lies
increased
and violence
escalates.

Some cartoonish violence can be rather entertaining, but the heads-off like the Kill Bill doble-feature by Tarantino is awful, a treatise on the love of violence for violence's sake.I even abhore The Godfather films, as being just about a bunch of gansters shooting each other for the sake of family pride and fortune. I did quite enjoy Tarantino's Inglorius Basterds, because it did not condone violence and revenge like Kill Bill but showed some of the very real atrocities of war. You're right about the vampires, though. I'm OK with the Walking Dead because after all you're just killing dead people. The poem was quite worthy too.

What cinema show is actually what the world have now...the mind and indicator is there..if more violence...etc then that mean we are having a lot now in real world...as when it became an entertainment then it is what people focus nowaday..reflective to the people life..channeled by movie or song...this is psychology in invisible color _Soul

I may be too strong yet I do believe that all the violence seen on cinema or tv screen leaves some signs into our system. Our body feels a great amount of stress induced either by images either by sound or both. At the end of the movie we feel worn out, not recharged as we would from simply having a sandwich under a tree...
