We are supposed to elevate and appreciate actors or actresses that made movies and received recognition for their portrayal by some kind of award etc, but consider this….

Although there are exceptions, the simple truth is that ‘most’ movies are not beneficial, encouraging, or up-building, especially spiritually.  In fact they very often strive for shock value, in other words they arguably tend to ‘undermine’ the natural human desire for peace and security.

Most newer movies may actually be emotionally depressing after the shock value wears off, much like the after effect of drugs or alcohol.  True there may have been an initial elevation of emotions, some even of some benefit, but the aftermath of violence in films can be quite negative, so is it really worth that roller coaster effect?  Please think about it when making entertainment choices.
