Interviewer: Do you have a favorite genre
of movie?
Emma: I love drama. I love comedy, but my
favorite is drama.
Interviewer: Do you think there’s too much
violence in movies?
Stephan: I think sometimes some films portray violence a
little too graphically, but I feel that if it helps the plot along, and there’s
sort of a point to the violence, then it’s OK, hut unnecessary violence really
turns me off.
Interviewer: So do you choose to go see movies if you
know they’re going to be violent?
Stephan: I usually tend to see films that get good
reviews or are by filmmakers whom I admire. I don’t think violence would
really, you know, sway me one way or the other.
Interviewer: Do you ever go to see violent
movies yourself?
Joe: Yes, I’ve seen violent movies—thrillers and movies
of that nature.
Interviewer: Can violent movies he
dangerous?
Joe: I think people are dangerous. I don’t know that
movies are dangerous.
Interviewer: Should children be allowed to
see violent movies?
Emma: No. I don’t think children need to be
watching violent movies.
Interviewer: What’s your feeling about violence? Is it
harmful, particularly to children?
San: It is. I think violence is harmful, especially in
movies. Movies... children of certain ages should not see violent movies
because they’re a little more influential and don’t have the judgment skills
that adults do.# Note: San misused the word "influential".
