To a degree. You can argue about how responsible motion pictures and television are for violence and the disintegration of the family and those sorts of things, but what you can't argue about is that the industry can do a lot better to enrich the public by communicating values. I believe the sexual act is an expression of love and unconditional commitment. If the people in my picture are not expressing that, I want the audience to be aware of the incompleteness and dishonesty. I do not want to do anything to stir up erotic impulses in an unhealthy way.
Violence arises from a sickness.
We try to get below the surface of that sickness and demonstrate that there are always alternatives. MM MovieMaker Magazine 2265 Westwood Blvd.
