Personally, I am a scary movie buff. I love watching new and old scary movies and seeing what is the new in. Obviously in the new movies gore is the new in, this was stated in the article about SAW. I believe that this is because there’s a mental wanting to see how much gore a person can take. This is also a reflection on news in our society. There is so much explicit material that is aired over the news stations that there is a need for more gore than usual in movies.
Where I see parallelism in other movies the most are the superhero movies. Spiderman is the prime example. It is a known fact that people like to see good triumph over evil all the time, especially when their country is in a war that has drained everyone and does not seem to have an end in sight. This is where people look in other spots such as Spiderman to have the underdog win the fight. Most people subconsciously correlate Spiderman with America and the Green Goblin Osama Bin Laden or Sadaam Hussein and like the fact that Spiderman (America) finally triumphs over the Green Goblin (Bin Laden or Hussein). This is where I see even children having a small understanding of politics and what is going on right now.
