Misha Berson tries to explain why it is that people have no problem watching violence on a stage but then recoil at the thought of violence in cinema. In doing this she makes a few important and frequently revised points. It is obvious that violence in a movie can be more realistically portrayed on the big screen (given all the special effects available to them in contrast with live theater). But the bigger point is that many people believe that the attraction to violence in entertainment comes from peoples desire to vent out their violent desires in a socially acceptable and peaceful manner.

That's an interesting point, I wonder if people don't take theatre as realistically as cinema?
this is a really interesting concept! it may be like you said, because of the realism of movies and the $ that go into them. good job!
