Gloupipoo 1,619 Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 I remember watching Polytechnique and feeling really sick. But then again it spreads awareness a lot. Would you watch a movie retelling Sandy Hook? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YNRA 1,082 Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 yes but only if it was completely fictional and not based on a true story. i like psychological thriller type movies and horror flicks but i dont want to watch a documentary style movie about real kids who got murdered Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KinkySanta 1,073 Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 I'd be able to watch a movie retelling pretty much every shooting EXCEPT Sandy Hook. I wouldn't be able to handle hearing about a shooting where the victims were mostly elementary aged Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
night vale. 8,071 Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 No. I don't think movies like that are entirely helpful for society. Maybe they are, but I just a don't see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ogre Shrek 8,980 Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 I watched "Bowling for Columbine"... it was pretty thought-provoking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gloupipoo 1,619 Posted January 7, 2016 Author Share Posted January 7, 2016 I'd be able to watch a movie retelling pretty much every shooting EXCEPT Sandy Hook I think I'd probably cry and puke the entire time I watched "Bowling for Columbine"... it was pretty thought-provoking. Yeah but it's documentary-type. Polytechnique wasn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sailor Mars 1,981 Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 yes i would! I like movies like that bc it reminds me of how evil the world can be and i find it very interesting. It, also, makes me aware of all the things in the world and helps me become informed!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
internalizedhomophobia 1,973 Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 I could handle a movie about Sandy Hook. As in, I could get myself through the whole movie. After that though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessicaberry 1,087 Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Yeah but I'm fucked in the head lol (Meaning I have tons of morbid curiosity not that I'd kill anybody...I'm drunk y'all sorry haha) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Izaya Orihara 210 Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 They would never make a movie about Sandy Hook considering the majority of the dead were kids. that would NOT fly well. As far as a movie about mass shootings...it isn't something i'd seek out but if it had a good plot, I would watch it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miaissocoollike 1,248 Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Yes, if they concentrate on the backstories. Not the actual shooting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peachtea 1,885 Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 I've already watched several. I even watched the hard to watch documentary Terror At The Mall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shocking blue 7,514 Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 I would only watch a documentary. I don't know about the dramatization of an event like that..it would be a difficult task making it tasteful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nowhere Boy 2,431 Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 I'd much rather it be fiction, but yes because it sounds like an intersting concept to make a movie about to me. I'd be interested to see how the directors and writers set everything up and if they could make it work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welniuke 24 Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Yes, I would and I would honestly find it very interesting. Though don't misunderstand, whether it's a shooting, serial killer, rapist, whatever - any criminal act, I find it horrible and disgusting and it deeply affects me (I feel sad both for the victims and their families. I tend to put myself into others shoes in these situations so I somewhat relive the events as if they were personal), but that doesn't mean I don't find it interesting. How did it even happen? what drove people to do so? There's also usually tons of conspiracy theories and etc floating around these kind of events which is why I'd enjoy any type of film or just a video based around it. Though if they showed real footage, I'd probably feel really nauseous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Yes. I love reading about them, I remember reading through the diaries of Eric Harris and Dylan Kleboid and being fascinated by what goes on in their minds - although the diary entries did indicate that they were intelligent their thought process was still simplistic and underdeveloped. I would be interested to watch a movie about a school shooting - just to see what entails. Sent from the fiery, sulphurous depths of hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaeki 48 Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 I read about kidnappings/shootings/serial murders a lot. I think it's interesting to see documentaries or movies based off these events bc these stories are really interesting. I've watched movies like Hotel Rwanda, but I usually only watch documentaries, bc I'm weak and I empathize with the people on the screen too much.
