Resumen: Graphic cinematic violence is a magnet for controversy. From passionate defenses to outraged protests, theories abound concerning this defining feature of modern film: Is it art or exploitation, dangerous or liberating? Screening Violence provides an evenhanded examination of the history, merits, and effects of cinematic "ultraviolence." Movie reviewers, cinematographers, film scholars, psychologists, and sociologists all contribute essays exploring topics such as: -- the origins and innovations of film violence and attempts to regulate it -- Hollywood's Production Code and the evolution of the ratings system -- the explosion of screen violence following the 1967 releases of Bonnie and Clyde and The Dirty Dozen, and the lasting effects of these landmark films -- the aesthetics of increasingly graphic screen violence -- the implications of our growing desensitization to murder and mayhem, from The Wild Bunch to The Terminator
