Abstract

There have been many debates over violent scenes for a long time. This paper’s primary goal is to provide evidence for why violent scenes should not be summarily eliminated by examining their value to the media, as well as the factors that have led to their continued popularity among audiences. Both the subjective perspective of viewing violence in cinema as a form of artistic expression and the objective perspective of viewing violence in film as a source of violent conduct can be used to assess the validity of these claims. We looked at the genetic roots of aggression and the fascination with gory murders in an effort to understand both phenomena. We examined the prospective consequences on teens because exposure to violent scenes is inevitable for this age group.
