Sin City director is no monkey

May 19th, 2005 by Monitor

Frank Miller, co-director of the Palme d’Or contender, Sin City, has fought back against critics who complain about the film’s ultra-violence.

From the BBC:

Violence is a real catchy buzzword these days. Considering most drama since The Iliad and before is extremely violent – because that’s how people work problems out – it’s a bit ridiculous.

I don’t believe in the “monkey see, monkey do” theory of entertainment.

The Japanese have the most violent fiction and movies in the world and they have among the lowest crime rate.

Point.

Thanks to Andrew.
