Extreme violence in movies

 "People who watch a lot of violent action movies tend to have anger and revenge-seeking tendencies"- I recently heard this statement in a discourse. What we feed our minds triggers our attitudes and behaviors. The impressions get stored in our subconscious minds and influences our actions in very many ways.

In the past 3-4 years, there have been so many gory, violent movies that are being released. The censor board giving U/A certificate (13+ rated) to such extreme gore and violent movies is a big concern! I had written a detailed post on this topic when the movie "Jailer" got released.

Now as the next superstar's movie is about to release, the trailer looks even worse with so much bloodshed. Though the movie is "A" rated, the impact it will create on our psyche is just not worth it, even if the viewer is 18+.

Gone are the days when I used to look forward to Superstar's movies.

It is so unfortunate that a person who claims to be spiritual in his real life, chooses to act in movies that propagate such gore and violence. One can argue that the reel life and real life are different. But for a person of his stature and reach, for someone who claims to practice spiritual practices like Kriya Yoga, such a person has a moral and ethical responsibility on his choices and the impact it would create in the society.
