the film tough guise really made me think about where this costume came from. I first thought the purpose of this film was to show the violence done by men to women. But after thinking over it i realized the films idea was to show the insecurity of men. We men cover our insecurities by disguising into another person.At class we talked about violence and when it started. I think violence is inside us. It is an instictive behaviour. It is a reaction to your emotions. It will stay us till the ambition inside us is gone. And if it is an instictive behaviour, there is nothing we can do to destroy it.Yes that is true, but we can make it less effective. Instead of fighting we can shout. Instead of shouting we can express our feelings with calmly. Violence can't be stopped, but sure can be less effective.
I absolutely agree with you. Violence is instinctive and it has been existing in every person. I think we shouldn't categorize it by saying that violent action is taken by men. It is also taken by women, which Tough Guise also showed us. Violence is inside the human-being, it is a part of our existence, of our mental organism.
ReplyDeleteIf it is merely a matter of biology, how do you explain the huge discrepancy in levels of violence committed by men and women? If we don't categorise it, how can we study the problem and try to overcome it?
ReplyDeleteI don't seperate violence done by men and women. And I don't just categorize violence like fhysical violence and emotional one. Girls may not do the actual pains, but you can see in every country in schools there are girls who torture other girls. That's the kind of violence I'm talking about
ReplyDeleteThinking and acting wisely and hence maintaining a balance is more an instinctive behavior than being violent, I think...
