On this topic, there really are some movies that I believe have just no value whatsoever. I didn't see the first one, but "Hostel 2" for one was just grisly, brutal, and horribly apathetic about human life. There was no point at all. It was just gratuitous torture scenes only a horribly dysfunctional person would enjoy. And I'm pretty liberal. |
That is actually a good example. I did not watch Hostel 2 because I already felt like this about the first movie. (and I used to be an absolute action/thriller/horror guy in the past).
What emotions do these movies feed? It just can't be good for your "emotional mastery".
