You can justify the most vile, awful crimes imaginable against the perpetrators of these types of crimes.

How else can you justify torture, kidnapping or murder for your main character without their morality appearing just a little bit gray?

Scalia thought that Batman was a real person, so it's not really that surprising.

Ten weeks before Joe was released in the United States, a real-life mass murder with similarities to the movie's climactic scenes occurred in Detroit, Michigan. On May 7, 1970, a railroad worker named Arville Douglas Garland entered a university residence and killed his daughter, her boyfriend and two other students.[10]

During pre-trial deliberations, Judge Joseph A. Gillis saw Joe and strongly advised both the prosecution and defense teams to do the same. He then carefully screened each member of the jury pool and excluded any who had seen the movie. He also forbade any seated juror from watching the movie or discussing it with anyone who had seen it.[11] Although he brought with him multiple weapons and extra ammunition, Garland received a light sentence.[10]

Before and after sentencing, Garland received hundreds of letters from parents across the country who expressed sympathy with him. It was also reported that during the first weeks after his sentencing, he received no letters expressing outrage or condemnation of his actions.[12]

does the movie actually endorse killing your children and their friends, or are people just incompetent when it comes to understanding a narrative?

Peter Boyle was also in another interesting movie you've probably never heard of, The Friends of Eddie Coyle, which might be the most realistic depiction of mob life on film. Nobody's a charming, charismatic rogue. Everybody's a broke loser exchanging violence as currency.

Also Death Wish was actually a good novel whereas Heinlein's Starship Troopers was trash.

It's ok, as a functional adult, you can easily separate fantasy like a movie about vigilante justice that includes Bruce Willis shooting a bunch of other dudes for dubious reasons, from the socio-economic realities that currently exist in many of America's cities. So I say go see it and enjoy :)

i agree that children have difficulty separating fantasy from reality and should be barred from seeing violent movies or playing violent video games until the age of 18

I would say to allow parents to judge the ability of their kids to enjoy various types of media, no need to get all reactionary and righteous about it.

The home invasion fear/fantasy is the dumbest poo poo. Like even the most strung-out junkie knows that stealing poo poo will go smoother if there is nobody home.

It's basically the "and then everyone stood up and clapped" of gun ownership.

And yet 750 people become victims of a violent crime during a burglary every single day. Odd
