Bad Cinema

As a child we are all taught that there are two sides to every argument, 'Bad Cinema' is no exception. Films such as 'Kids' and 'Kidulthood' show drug taking, swearing, violence (often unnecessary) and sex, all undertaken by underage characters. On the one hand these films shock the audience highlighting teenage issues, although exaggerated, promoting awareness. yet the glorification of such fantastical lives is wrong.

In 'Kids' the whole point is that the cock sure arrogant main character 'Telly' is portrayed as a villain, his whole lifestyle is frowned upon rather than glorified unlike 'Kidulthood' and 'Adulthood' where the main character, 'Trevor' is glorified and dies a hero despite his violent ways. His and his friends whole lifestyle to me promotes gang culture and what many youngsters aspire to.

Showing violence, sex, and drug taking in film and media, I believe desensitises people. horror films such as 'Saw' make violence acceptable and almost every film released nowadays pushes boundaries, each film competing to shock audiences and ultimately sell, sell, sell.

Glamorising unmoral behaviour is wrong, tastefully undermining it is good.
