Why aren't movies as violent as they were in the 80s/90s?

Why aren't movies as violent as they were in the 80s/90s?

Harder to market R ratings.

Watch bone tomahawk

also

to appeal to families and dumb parents. most families won't go to see a movie inless it's PG 13 or lower.

The audience grew up.

Movies becoming almost exclusively for kids and adults.

This is the result of all you edgy fucking alt-right neckbeards never paying for movies anymore; a dearth of serious adult dramas with a real-world take on violence.

When the 17-34 year olds start paying for film again, you'll see a resurgence of that style.

Compare h8ful eight to inglorious or Django, and you'll see the trend.

As in, the box office numbers have plummeted. Nobody who likes that shit pays for it anymore. It's all leaks and streams and torrents.

Meanwhile, the 45 year old father of 4 who doesn't know how to install gentoo takes his kids to see Ironman 6, because he knows it'll be safe fun for the whole family, and support his right-leaning patriotism, without showing even a small fraction of the horrors of real-world violent conflicts.

>Compare these shit films from a shit director

If they want me to pay for films they should stop making hot garbage.

The current generations are pussies. They'd rather watch PG-13 CGI shitfests than a proper action movie.

Back to jewddit please

>alt right somehow implicated

youre delusional cuck

I am the guy you replied to. I haven't seen either film, myself. How do I even know they're hot garbage? I don't, but I'm not willing to find out if they are or not with my money. I am assuming it is.

As I was replying to OP's question, I maintain my point: nobody who would ordinarily be the "target" audience of these sorts of films is remotely interested. If we are, we aren't interested in paying money for potential letdown.

I for one could care less. Fuck Tarantino. His last *good* movie was Jackie Brown, and last decent was deathproof (still meh).

Are you really implying alt-righters aren't the same edgy 13 year olds that watched Boondock Saints and the like?

>cuck

Okay, now I know that you're trolling here.

2nd hand guns can cause cancer. We need more wholesome images of white hairy men shoving their tongues down each others throats and successful Africans with white business women in film.

Same poster. Today was a good day.

It's not even a real fucking thing, it's just some retarded clinton tier buzzword

Youre a fucking pretentious retard who needs to go back to tumblr

I think we both know we both belong here.

Please reply to my dubs post.

There are plenty of violent movies being made nowadays.
But if you mean mainstream films is mostly beceause R rated movie are rare now as the studios want families and underage paying for their movies.
And Pg-13 has become too pussified, Poltergeist was PG-13 when it came out but it would probably be R rated nowadays.

Only because theres no way to keep you out

Every movie these days is trying to be the next "lighthearted, fun for the whole family, nostalgic for old fans" kinda movie.

Its still jarring to me that the entire dark knight trilogy and bvs are pg-13.

They can still make violent movies for teens, but they won't, because it doesn't make as much money.

So you only get the occasional rated-R movie that shows a lot of gore and blood, and maybe says nigger in it.

>Its still jarring to me that the entire dark knight trilogy and bvs are pg-13
One of the worst most recent examples was Suicide Squad, that shit deserved a R rating, specially after Deadpool did the whole anti hero thing and did well. But I guess they didn't want to take risks.

we matured.

Movies stopped being childish.

THIS
We watch super heroes now, senpai.

They are, they just aren't massively marketed and praised. They never were, you retard.

I would argue that R rated movies are more common nowadays.

The reason is the environment. The world isn't as gritty as it used to be.

>it'll be safe fun for the whole family

That's the fucking point you dumb fucking edgelord. You think that family man ought to expose his kids to "horrors of real world violent conflict"? For what purpose? Underage faggot

They are. Though a lot of it is CGI these days which just doesn't have the same effect as practical effects. Hardcore Henry was almost entirely practical effects though which was cool.

>Compare h8ful eight to inglorious or Django, and you'll see the trend.
lol is that meant to imply one is more childish and immature than the other?

Fucking CGI blood

R ratings mean your audience automatically shrinks (no kids + their friends, no families, etc) and that the selling points of your film (ie the violence, sex etc) are really really hard to market since you can't show them outside of online places.
That's why Marvel features super humans practically caving in peoples chests with punches/kicks/hurling concrete slabs at people with 0 actual gore or proper reaction, because doing so immediately cuts out a shit heap of their audience.

John Wick was hard to really like because of the cgi blood/gore

Yeah. I think the movie that really made me notice it was the fourth Die Hard movie. The first three were all pretty violent and over the top with the blood. The fourth one was PG-13 and obviously lacked that.

Then the DVD release was unrated or R rated I can't remember which. But it was the same movie with a few added F bombs and CGI blood that looked like it was a fucking videogame.

Any recommendations for a movie from the last 15 years with good old fashioned bloody violence would be appreciated.

>edgy fucking alt-right neckbeards
ebin :DD

Hardcore Henry doesn't have CGI blood I'm pretty sure. And that's one of the most violent movies I've seen anytime recently. I don't think any of Tarantino's movies have CGI blood.

Raid 1 has a couple good bits but mixed in with some CGI BS, Raid 2 has a bit more but is probably a worse movie. Super (2010) has a reasonable amount and is pretty good. Most proper violence seems to be only in silly torture porn movies that last 10+ years unfortunately.

No Country for Old Men
SOME parts of The Nice Guys (although they resort to CG blood here and there, which kills me because it's set in the 70's)

pure kino

There was definitely some CGI blood in Hardcore Henry. But most of it was practical.

IMO films and series are as violent as they have ever been.

violence != lots of blood and gore, and there are plenty of films with blood and gore. fucking edgy 14 years old in this thread.

Gun Violence wasn't as sensitive a topic back them

because of retarded liberals
>"sex is le okay XDD"
>"violence is bad though >:X"

That's the exact opposite of Hollywood though
Violence with no actual impact or visceral-ness isn't proper violence; not asking for constant evisceration, just that when somebody gets shot/stabbed anywhere but the spine/heart/brain, they shouldn't die like they're in a fucking amatuar Shakespearian play.
