Are movies getting more vehement ? A group of pediatric researchers decided to find out — by look out all 22 James Bond movies ( before Skyfall came out ) and betray the issue of wild acts in them . Over the 46 years that Bond movies have rile up audiences throughout the world , they ’ve gotten far more violent . grant to a liberation about the study , published today :
While Dr No only featured 109 trivial or severely tearing acts , there were 250 violent acts in Quantum of Solace . The latter film have nearly three time as many acts of severe ferocity .
In counting and classifying vehement imaging in the film the researcher used a scheme qualify from a US 1997 National Television Violence Study . Violent enactment were define as try by any individual to harm another and assort as severe ( such as punching , kick , or attack with weapons ) or trivial vehemence ( such as a push or an open - handed smack ) .
you may see a chart they made tracking the change in violence , above . Most James Bond pic are rated PG or PG-13 , and the researchers interest that this means children today are expose to more fury than they once were .
As for me , I ’m wondering what happened there in the early seventies — was Bond a little more peaceful after the Vietnam War ended ? Seems like he only ramped up again with Tomorrow Never go in 1997 . What change in the Bondverse at that prison term ?
