As expected, I didn’t receive any inputs about the kind of movie one will like to watch when he or she feels violent and murderous. Though, I did receive couple of comments from guys about the skirts and their lengths. Well, what to do, guys will always be guys :).
Anyways, coming back to the topic. Let’s see how it feels when one tends to be violent. The emotions in the people are more of an unvented anger and irritation; perhaps something related to humiliation and revenge. Then, there are some other times when you are just bored of things and want some thrill but let’s leave it for some other time because thrills perhaps can be got in many ways and somebody resorting to torture for thrill must be one helluva messed-up-brain-character. By the way, just a thought. How many of you have tried to catch a mosquito and burn in on mortein just for the thrill of it? :).
Anger combined with humiliation and irritation is a very powerful emotion and it needs to be vented one way or the other. We all have a way to tackle with it. Few of us don’t like to think over the face whether we are right or wrong and simply bash the other person verbally. Few others take their time and perhaps punish their loved ones, with heightened pitch of voice, rather than the person they are actually angry on. Then, few others hit the wall or some object and scream in the loneliness of their rooms. (Though, there can be happy screams too. So, people who have heard me screaming, don’t just think that I am venting my frustration :P). One way or the other, the emotion has to come out. And there certainly is a tendency in people to fight when angry. If they can’t actually fight, then, they can proxy fight by seeing someone else fight and hurt the other. I have tended to try and find action and a bit gory movies when I am angry or down. But there still hasn’t been a time when I have wanted to torture a human being as depicted in the gory movies like Hostel.
For me, killing by a gun and killing by torturing a person are two very different and diverse things. Getting tortured like it’s shown in movies like Hostel scares the shit out of me. And on the other hand, I hardly fear getting killed by a gun shot (or so I think). So, as much as I like to go for an action movie with a bit of ass-kicking when I want to soothe myself down, I still don’t prefer to go for ultra-gory and torturous movies. But my own behavior and chain of thoughts do give me a clue that there is a possibility that other people might want to watch such movies if that can vent out their anger. And if can actually do that, then I must say that these movies are actually helpful. How are they helpful and how they can affect the society will be discussed in a later entry.
Before ending this piece, let me put a clarification that the angry mood is by no way the only time when a person may prefer to see such movies. A genuine interest and curiosity and other factors can very well be the biggest factors in going for these movies. But, with this entry I wanted to explore the idea of emotional state being the factor to watch a movie depicting torture. Also, I want to share a news. After reading my previous post, I got a mail from Mr. Ben Hall appreciating the interest in socionomics. He also provided me with the link www.socionomics.net . All you people who wanna explore this concept, go through the site. It has quiet a few interesting things to ponder over. As far as I am concerned, I guess this one as well as the previous one does look a bit into that kind of logic. Though, I never knew that there is already a line of thought which explores the way I think. Of course, what I think is just a drop in the ocean and I will love to explore more about it and hence all you people will be tortured with a post when I am done with it :) .
