I know I already wrote and posted a
similar post about changing soap operas into something everyone would
appreciate. Yet, I guess all the people and fans would agree there’s a huge
difference between the long, modern love and treachery stories and the dreadful
plots and creatures, criminals and monsters of the horror movies. Therefore,
I’d say there should be a great difference too between the ways to make soap
operas and motion pictures with too much blood and killings worthy of Oscars?
Actually, there’s also an enormous
difference between the fans of these totally different kinds of movies. The
guys who couldn’t live without the dreadful events of the horror stories are
usually youngsters with uneasy and troubled minds (and good imagination), or
future criminals and murderers, or not so young people with insane thoughts and
desires. While the fans of the long (and meaningless according to many critics
and common viewers) soap operas could be found mostly amongst down to earth
housewives and their husbands and friends who above all appreciate family
values and simple, everyday joys. Modern love sagas’ men and women would never
kill or torture someone for the pure joy of such an awful act, unless their
life or the life of their kin and friends are endangered. They would never go
to a school or other public place with a loaded gun and a lot of ammunition to
send to heaven or oblivion many innocent kids or men and women. Their thoughts
would never lead to a mass murder just to “show and prove” the righteousness of
an idea, or to make the world “a better place”… On the other hand, the horror
movies’ fans would do any of these incredibly vicious deeds, and wouldn’t hide
the fact the bloody “tips” they could see in their favourite motion pictures
were their inspiration and mottos for their insane and disgusting deeds.
“Horror movies don’t create serial killers,
they just give them ideas.” These were the words of a character from Psycho (the
1998 version), though many of the enemies of the bloody stories would say quite
the opposite. As there are so dreadful horror movies that they could provoke
desire for blood spilling and killings even in the most kind-hearted and
non-violent spectators, I will always remember the interview of a mother who
said that the main reason for her son to become an insane killer were the awful
scenes from his favourite bloody motion pictures. Such madness should make us
all want to welcome a law or rule that would forbid the creation of movies in
which one could only see meaningless murders, cruel killings and lots of other
disgusting activity. The horror moments in such motion pictures should be just
hints; the rest should be some wise thoughts, some philosophy, some noble
deeds… In other words, they should become a combination of genres, then, any movie
fan would see the wisdom there, not the inspiration for insanity… Just for
example, there are a lot of killings and horrible moments in The Lord Of the
Rings too, yet as there is a lot of philosophy and wise thoughts, it became the
movie of the year at the annual Oscars and wouldn’t be a movie which could
inspire desire to end humans’ life…
I guess it is not the only way to make the
horror movies valuable; many other people could give some even better ideas.
But I bet anyone would agree to combine the horror with philosophy and wisdom and
create a rule or law about that could be a good cause to drastically decrease the
awful side effects of the bloody and deadly scenes.
