Why is Hollywood so obsessed with murder and violence?

Nearly every film made in Hollywood is about or contains graphic violence, murder, assassinations, gangsters, shootings, death, destruction and maiming. Or a combination thereof. And the common denominator for the American film hero is that they have committed murder. Why is the American film factory so obsessed with extreme violence and death? What does this say about the American psyche?Why is Hollywood so obsessed with murder and violence?Because that's what the audience wants. The hero doesn't commit murder. He kills those who have attacked or otherwise severely wronged him.Why is Hollywood so obsessed with murder and violence?
Simple answer is because it sells movies, if people didn't go to see the films there wouldn't be so much of it in a film.Why is Hollywood so obsessed with murder and violence?because it makes easy money and don't directly involve them. Why would they care. People pay to see it.
i could name thousands of hollywood films that dont include murder, but fact is .. violence and murder is part of human nature, like it or not.Why is Hollywood so obsessed with murder and violence?It is art imitating every day lifeWhy is Hollywood so obsessed with murder and violence?
They're actually obsessed with CGI.
Economics, dear. That is the answer to any 'Why.............Hollywood...........? question.

And that says just as much about the American psyche as does the obsession with murder and violence.Why is Hollywood so obsessed with murder and violence?
Seriously??



Have you ever even seen films from outside the US?? Japan makes some very violent films, and the French are known for some of the most graphic horror films ever committed to celluloid. Let's not forget about the banned Euro Trash films from Europe...most of which were heavily cut due to over the top violence/gore/exploitation.



Trust me, it's not just the US, and let's face it violence sells just as much as sex does.
because it sells.
Check out which stories make headline news - it's merely a reflection of the average person's voyeuristic tendencies. Holywood reflects this - it does not cause it.
