They want the music, actors and concept of the movie to make you feel as if you could be a part of the movie yourself. They like movies that aren’t cookie cutter versions or a “freak-show”.

In that time, a teacher could hit a student and it was okay and excepted it wasn’t really a big deal but now if a teacher hits a student they would get in trouble and possible loss their job.

These mechanisms include the use of erotic rather than violent terminology…
