COPYCAT FILM

People will try almost anything and after watching this copy cat film, I know this for a fact. The things that not only children imitate but adults as well is ridiculous. As a society we should be able to tell the difference from what happens in a movie or on TV from what happens, or should happen, in reality. The guy that said he went on a killing spree and did it just like they did in the movie had to of had some sort of mental problem because one would think that you can understand in a movie a person is not really getting killed. I mean if a person would do that just because they think its okay to cut someone down the chest has a problem from distinguishing fact from fiction. The woman who gathered the girls to stage a bank robbery like that in "Set It Off" was actually kind of funny. I think it is because no one got hurt and it is just so ironic. I think that if one of the girls had not told her friend about the idea they may have gotten away with it. But more heinous crimes should not be blamed on movie producers. Their job is to provide us with entertainment and if some people can not distinguish what should happen and what is just fictional then it is the individuals fault and not the entertainment industry. If movie producers stop giving us horror and action films on the base that they don't want people to copy them, then America would produce an uproar about how its not fair. Yes, movie stars are sometimes depicted as being cool when they are actually doing violent things but it is all in the plot of the movie and most importantly of all fiction. The film was an eye opener of how crazy people can be, but no one can control the acts of a select few in society.

  1. I agree that you can not blame movies for crimes as awful and murder and such. That comes down to the judgment of that particular person. Any adult and most children know that when a heinous crime or act of violence happens in a movie or TV show that it is fake. For an adult to try to mimic such acts is ridiculous and there is something far more wrong with that person. No matter what I believe you can not blame the film industry.

  2. I think if someone tried to convince me to imitate a movie and rob a bank I'd ask if we could copy a movie with a hot guy in it and then find a hot guy to imitate it with us. At the very least, I would only copy cat if there was a hot guy involved. Just sayin.
