Over on Youtube had a short film called "Action Imagination", and it was about boys pretending to be action stars that they seen in movies like Rambo, Commando, and any other action movie that was made in the era of the 80s and 90s. In "Action Imagination" you saw the two boys with toy guns going out in the woods to face other boys that were bad guys dressed like ninjas. Watching this short film brought back memories when I was a boy that to like to play action heroes that I saw in the action movie era that went from the 80s into the 90s, and it inspired men today that are into being soldier and policeman. We had heroes in the movies that played characters that uphold the law, and did their duty for it was the right thing to do.
Fast forward to the 2000s, and the action hero has completely changed. It has changed from law obeying citizens in the 80 to 90s into anti law citizens that is the present day action hero. Action movies that has these characters are "Fast and the Furious" series, and"Triple X." Vin Diesel played the lead hero in both of these movies, and it is pretty much the same character. His characters does stealing cars and merchandise, destroy private property, and does street racing that is illegal in all 50 states. Even though his character does all these illegal things its still portray as the hero at the end of the day, by defeating evil. Evil is the law that was represented as good in the 80s and 90s movie era. Young boys watching these movies could be influence the same way movies made in the 80s, and 90s influenced boys than that are now soldiers or police officers. Except boys watching action movies like "Fast Furious" could be influence in breaking the law to find out that reality is not like the movies to where the criminal ends up being the hero, but they end up in jail messing their entire life up, or end up dead.
Now action movies back than, and now are both far from reality. When men became soldiers, or policemen they found out that it was nothing like the movies. In reality people get shot, and actually die. Either way action movies have characters that go against antagonist created by other characters, and it is defined good versus evil. Storyline presented like that in "Fast and Furious" tells young boys that the law is bad, and it takes away your freedom to do whatever you want. Yet activities like stealing cars, and merchandise violates another person's freedom by taking away their will to live.
Typing this blog is not about not watching movies like "Fast and Furious", because this blogger has seem them that end up liking some of them. This blog is just this blogger's observation of the movies stated through this blog to encourage people to be independent thinkers.
