I don’t like the idea that fiction has to condemn bad behavior in the text because then the John Wick movies would all have a 90 minute epilogue where John goes around doing therapy and apologizing to people
“Listen man, when I shot you, punched you in the neck, reloaded, shot your friends, and then shot you again exactly on beat to a pounding techno soundtrack...that was really problematic of me. I’m really sorry. I’ll do better in John Wick 2.”
I dunno man. I agree that we gotta be careful what messages we send/receive with art, but some things should just get to be bad. Scarface doesn& #39;t need a moral because the plot is "a bad dude comes to a bad end as a direct result of his choices and actions."
I listen to rap music and watch crime movies. As a kid, it definitely had a negative effect on me. But we& #39;re adults here...and Flockavelli is exquisite workout music and The Raid is the ultimate evil landlord movie. It& #39;s exciting when bad things happen to fake people ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I was listening to BIG & Eminem& #39;s Dead Wrong yesterday, which is full of both of them saying stuff that& #39;ll make you go, "Dang, if this was real, I would definitely want them guillotined and thrown into the sun." But the song is called "Dead Wrong." The ugliness is the point
(Em& #39;s verse on Dead Wrong is like if R. Crumb did Watchmen or something. Hilarious levels of "Bro you can& #39;t say that, that& #39;s awful...but you said it in a really artful way..." The Marshall Mathers LP was similar. Super ugly, but dang, this guy has talent.)
