Violence

The lesson of this MH started surprisingly with Ivan and Bill giving explications about the clips watched last week because of some students complained about their violent content. Personally, I don’t undertstand this fact, since someone said nobody is going to hire us just to draw some teddy bears or Pokemons, probably in some parts of our life we will need to create a modern version of the AK 47.

This lesson was about violence and his relation with the contemporary culture.  We watch a clip of a school shooting and then Bill told us something about shooting games that I have never appreciated before, the fact that a person reminds with nostalgia his great shoots in these games, personally still I am very proud of my headshots in Gears of War but then you think and ask yourself “ and I’m proud of this?”

Tarantino said: "Violence is the best way to communicate with the audience" Unfortunately we are too much connected to Quentin's films. 

 

Then Bill demonstrate by some samples of modern games and some comments of Malcom how governments influence the games for their purposes, specially USA. And then somebody asked me “ John Wayne was a famous  actor for killing red Indians or for being a good actor?
