Bad cinema

Being bad can be in the form of bad cinema (e.g. the film "Kids" I saw at the Lighthouse Cinema in Wolverhampton recently, which contained violence and promiscuous sexual behaviour). Is it that such films entertain people and make their lives more fun or is it a social event that they love to watch? However, does this make them bad?

Regarding sex, research has revealed that three out of four teenagers stated that films make it seem normal for them to engage in sexual relationships, with the UK having the highest number of teenage pregnancies in Western Europe.

Also research has shown that films which contain levels of violence have led to children displaying aggressive behaviour, not to mention that they become desensitised to violence in real life.

Parents should be able to reduce the influence bad cinema has on their children by monitoring and/or limiting exposure to films containing violence and promiscuous sexual behaviour. At the same time parents can teach them to engage in alternative behaviour.

In the UK contents of films and videos are controlled and classified by the British Board of Film Classification, which is a non-governmental body set up in 1912.
