For example i went along to see yet another Saw movie with my girlfriend and a few friends, Saw 3 this time, and read in the papers that quite a few people had fainted due to the nature of the film. About 20 minutes in some girl threw up all over the person in front of her, they had to stop the movie and then start it again once they had cleaned up. Is there really a need to show such horrific things? and is it changing our society? That film would have been banned 15 years ago and never seen!

i agree with the sentiment regards it would have been baned 15yrs ago, or at least put on restricted sale list.... i.e. illegally sold
it probably is a change in society, i enjoyed the movie, really liked it, but alot of people came out saying ' i thought it would be worse, ........ they can't really show much more...than what they did in saw 3 (which for the record is better than hostel) .....other than real people being tortured ... and if anybody wants to see that then they are sick sick ******* that should be institutionalised and locked up!

I doubt it would have been banned.
Movies have always relied on violence from the war films of the fifties to the spaghetti Westerns of the sixties, the seventies were all about gangster flicks and the eighties and nineties out and out shoot 'em ups.
And yes it has caused our society to become more violent and some people don't have the intellect to know the difference between fantasy and reality so they think it is OK to behave like they see in the movies. That is why we see so much swearing and fighting on the streets today.
But it's too late to go back now. These movies have already been made and have seeped deeply into the public consciousness.
So you can't unmake them. Just be grateful that you know right from wrong.

Our society changes films...not the reverse....Films are not too violent...we have a choice to see them or not see them.
Ignoring the darker sides of humanity won't make it go away or help us understand how and why we exist.
What makes people and society turn violent? Are we fighting for survival, a cause or just the hell of it? What does our fight say about our world? Great films explore those questions rather than exploit them.
Man and society act equally bestial in Stanley Kubrick's "A Clockwork Orange" (1971), a symphony of destruction set to classical and popular music -- from Beethoven's Ninth Symphony to "Singing in the Rain."
Many a film that offended audiences 60 years ago now seems nostalgically simple and good-hearted...so I am still going with every film has its place violent or not....thanks

A lot of the horror film makers today are constantly trying to raise the bar on just how far they can push the violence in films. And I agree that there are way to many films being released that are way over the top. There really is no need for it in my opinion, but for every one person like me, there is another who relishes the thought of seeing just how much they can handle in a movie. The films will continue to get worse as long as there's a market for it. I just don't bother watching if I know it's going to make me feel ill.

Get over it. If it is something you don't want to see then don't watch. Also there where much more graphic and gory movies made before the Saw movies. These movies are a reflection of our society but are way less horrific than real life.

i have in basic terms considered 'the hills have eyes' and some scenes were quite too disgusting. (I do desire you've watched the censored version the position those were decrease). absolutely one of my acquaintances (26) became actual sick. i'm quite not conservative and that i don't have a experience of humour and appreciate particular sorts of 'leisure' - the action picture became certainly type of gruesome humorous. in spite of the indisputable fact that, it became intolerably lengthy, boring and maximum of all - stupid, quite stupid. i'd really not recommend it to any of my acquaintances (toddlers or older) and the priority isn't a lot 'violence, profanity and sex' (even even though it could be considered a challenge by technique of many), the priority is that you're dropping some time being brainwashed... notwithstanding... go ahead! young children do seem to savor indulging in stupidity on the way of changing into GWB's voters. In many years you'll commence examining Cosmopolitan, i wager... Hm... why did I confirm that you're a lady?...

Yes. Sometimes I want to see a romantic love story...
Sex & crime is nessessary, but not too much and always.
Take "Sleepy Hollow" or "Interview With A Vampire" for
instance, they are full of cruelty ---
but this movies are also containing
love-stories wich seemed to be moving our hearts...
I prever the good old ones.. with Humphrey Bogart
and Grandma. Sure, these movies show violence too,
but it is not that awful as in so called "modern movies"...

They are too violent.
They are also generally badly directed, and compensate for poor storys with special effects.
I watched a film called Rebecca a few days ago. It was in black and white, had a good story, was well acted, clearly spoken, used fading in and out and lighting to excellent effect. And used music to help convey the atmosphere.
Better than anything I have seen for a long time.

i think there is a lot of violence and i am not sure what is too much, but i do know that people need to know their limitations and what they can and cannot handle. that girl should have known what the content of the movie was and should have thought it through before going to see it. I guess some stuff is too violent, but again you have to remember it is all pretend too.

I think yes. I also have watched Saw. And its really scary. I cant even look longer at the screen. Even in other movies like that. But I like watching scary and suspense movies, and when it comes to those scary scenes, I'll just shut my eyes and ears.
And I think those films gives the idea to those criminals. Do you get it??? They give them the idea of how to kill peoples.gosh
