From Joker to Blue Story – we have to stop blaming art for outbreaks of violence | FionaSturges

A helter-skelter ride of a movie, satirical, very witty and showing its director’s immense affection for the B-movie actors, stunt men and hangers on who make up its cast. It’s also a tribute to Sharon Tate . Who would have believed that a film set just as the Sixties in LA turned sour could be so uplifting?The world isn’t scared enough of Scientology, but perhaps it would be if enough people had seen The Master. Paul Thomas Anderson depicts the cult as a trap for bruised masculinity.

you have to remember kids love to ruck & smash things up, in my youth I was a part of the Chelsea Headhunters crew, what we did was completely irresponsible, violent & nasty, but it was fun when you were twenty_

I blame the mandem.

Why? Why should it because there are many violence ... among others the cultural, the ideological...

Definitely - An old trope with no evidence to back it up.

Why ?

👍

I blame the lefty/Liberal who read your fake news paper. We should be tough on crime and lock them up for a long time. The weak kneed approach to crime is incouraging it. When will we start building more prisons

Really !

Yes!!!

There was zero violence around Joker, why is it even being mentioned? Oh yes because the media were hoping and praying for it to incite violence. 🤡

It's much easier to blame others than take responsibility yourself for the society you have created. Its an eternal truth that keeps the oppressed suppressed.

Don’t forget Frozen 2

Propaganda works or governments wouldn’t spend billions on it. It does enter people’s heads. Look at the propaganda over climate change what would be the point if it didn’t get into people’s heads ?

This is so disingenuous. Joker didn’t result in any violence, in-spite of the media hyping-up the risk of “white incel shootings”, like they wanted one. The Blue Story movie had actual violence directly related to its subject matter, but now you’re playing it down? Wonder why! 🤔

FionaSturges This is so disingenuous. Joker didn’t result in violence, in-spite of the media hyping-up the risk of “incel shootings” for weeks, like they wanted one. The Blue Story movie had actual violence directly related to its subject matter, but now you’re playing it down? Wonder why! 🤔

FionaSturges Film critics, zero. Joker, 1 billion dollars and counting, without China. Oh and zero mass shootings. 😘✌️

FionaSturges True, art encourages reflection, not violence, if violence breaks out, that is people misinterpreting it.

FionaSturges How about we discuss what's really to blame?

FionaSturges Rubbish

BBC-backed gang film Blue Story banned from Vue cinemas after mass brawl outside screeningBlue Story, a BBC-backed gang film, has been banned from Vue cinemas following a mass brawl involving youths armed with knives and machetes outside a screening in Birmingham. The price of Austerity... Very sad reflection of Tory Britain... VoteLabour2019 ✌ ❤ Our licence fee now pays for gang violence too! Having watched the trailer I can see why it's been so influencing. I recall coming out of the Cinema as an 18yr old wanting to be Bruce Lee with my chums... We sometimes forget as film makers what influence we have.

'Institutionally racist': Blue Story ban faces backlashTwo cinema chains pull the film after a fight broke out at a Vue cinema in Birmingham on Saturday. I really want to see this movie now!! Rubbish. It may not be the right decision but it has everything to do with violence & safety. Nothing to do with racism. You’re classed as racist nowadays if you prefer white chocolate rather than dark.
