Weinstein, Tarantino and the standoff over movie violence

    The main idea in this article was how there is violence in the media and how some directors have vowed to not partake in films, as much as possible, in films that have violence in them. The author used Weinstein  as an example in multiple different points in his essay, such as when he brought up how there was only a handful of movies that Weinstein made. What I learned from this essay was that Weinstein was wanting to help dispose of the violence in the media. Although I found this author more interesting I thought it was interesting that between this one and the Marilyn Manson one, both of the brought up different points of the bible to help pinpoint that violence has been around for forever. I also thought it was interesting how both of the authors had similar views of how there is real-life-violence and media-violence. I think it is interesting how both had them into two different topics, but Manson just clumped them into the same group because he felt violence was violence.  What I learned from the Weinstein article was that Weinstein wasn't wanting to film more violent films because he didn't want his children to see it. Which I think is pretty cool because of how violent the world can be, Weinstein wants to make ones that aren't violent. Although I did learn something new like how Weinstein decided to go against the norm,  I mainly thought the article was more interesting. This is because of the different facts that were in the article. My beliefs also didn't change because of the articles but I learned that there are some people out there who do want to make more happy entertainment instead of violent and angry entertainment, which is pretty cool.
