Chloe Moretz Responds To Jim Carrey's Stance On The Violence In KICK-ASS 2

I'll just leave this here:

The whole point of and basis of Kick-Ass is becoming and wanting to be a hero. The necessary causes they face to bring justice to light and the problems they face. They realize becoming a hero just like in any comic book isn`t as easy as it can be. I agree Carrey`s response missed the mark. Yes if he didn`t want to support the realism of violence displayed in Kick-Ass that is understandable but connecting it to a terrible news event that is entirely different on the other hand of what is displayed in Kick-Ass, meaning the main plot and guise of what is happening.

You know this is out of topic, but it must have taken a huge personal hit to the director of the film Jeff Wadlow, being a director of a movie with a great actor like Jim Carrey as a star that is not supporting it at all.

Besides the plot of Kick-Ass has been done before similar in the film Mystery Men, I would like to think of Kick-Ass as a much darker version.

Exactly.

I was referring to @SyamAgsa14's comment on Andrew Garfield.

Drawing a parallel? So let me guess if no one caused Sandy Hook this wouldn't be happening now. I am sure everyone would appreciate the film for what it was. Despite many other events in recent history worse than that particular one no one would care at all and Jim Carrey would be back to supporting this movie. Did Mark Miller the man who wrote Kick-Ass have anything to do with Sandy Hook? Did he ever happen to have intentions of making this escalate as high as now. The Problem is your just focusing one particular piece of material. Kick-Ass has nothing to do with the events that happened. You can draw the line on that and whatever happened in that event was reality. These things don't happen ever so often and Kick-Ass just happened to tread along that so called line. Every single time this happens all the media wants is censorship one year later no one mention it. While on the other hand many major and controversial news events are treading films Zero Dark Thirty for instance. Just because one crazy psychopathic out of many in the world today did something bad everyone goes out of proportion on their views and they let that one man whatever he did control them on what they think further ahead in the future just like how what happened in Aurora people got the chills of entering a normal movie theater after switching on the TV seeing it.

Let me guess if he was wearing a Superman costume the film Man of Steel would have been cancelled and the character of Superman would be bashed in the news.

This is whack, this is out of place. I'm done.

I agree with her.
I don't think we give society enough credit. Society is probably generally stupid but this film isn't going to be seen by 10 year olds, the people that see it will be older.

I think before we could blame screen violence and video games on random attacks on the public because it was fairly new, but sometimes people are just mentally deranged, psychopaths and sometimes we can't see or stop it.

Chloe is right in that this film doesn't glamorise violence, in the first film we saw the consequences of going out there and beating people up.

@TheGambitFreakIsBatmanOfCBM - If you believed Andrew Garfield's joking about maybe Spiderman becoming gay then you'll pretty much believe anything.

@0megaDaGod - Exactly. Jim isn't an idiot...although he's played a few on TV and in movies, he is a very intelligent human being. Certain things do stick with certain people. They don't give movies and video games R and MA ratings just to piss people off. Hell, The Wolverine wasn't rated until a couple weeks before it's release. Why? Because they knew kids would go see it and they weren't sure if the violence was too much or not.

I'm a father of 3. I let my kids watch certain movies and play certain video games, but it's only because I KNOW my own kids. Plus, I'm right there with them and, like Chloe, they know the stuff is fake. Not all kids do though and not all parents care about their kids as much as my wife and I do.

She's badass. I hope her career keeps getting better and better.

Like she said, each to their own. I'm still going to see it, first film was a corker!

i dont mind carreys change of heart here. if anything i respect it a lot. the sandy hook tragedy was easily one of the worst events in american history and to be affected by it to the extent of turning your back on your multi-million dollar project and tell the world when you could have easily just kept it opinion to yourself-cant help but respect him. shows how good of a person he really is as crazy as he seems. i wouldnt have thrown him under the bus like chloe just did but i do resect hers too. no one in anyway is wrong here.

Wow. I'm shocked.

She gives me hope for the younger generation. Not much, but some.

Way to go Chloe. :)

Nice. I saw this article last night on yahoo.com and at least yahoo gave credit to the original writer. The full complete article cand be seen here http://movies.yahoo.com/news/chloe-moretz-slams-jim-carreys-stance-kick-ass-012936554.html

Does this mean Carrey will donate his entire pay check from the movie to victims of the shooting?

wow. that fact that anybody would blame a movie for their actions and not take responsibility for themselves just shows how lazy we are.

I don't believe what she said was relative to why Carrey said what he did. I could be wrong, but I don't believe his issue was with the action influencing those who watch the film, but more so about an overall conscious that over-the-top violence is okay in today's society. Keep in mind his comments were made right after Sandy Hook and I applaud him for not taking the normal Hollywood actors' attitude and double standard on complaining about issues, but selling out for a part that goes against their personal platform. He recognized the personal conflict and apologized for it. I think her comments are those of a kid who didn't quite connect all the dots before she said it.

All I would add to these comments is that being influenced and being inspired by something are two very different things.

Do ordinary, normal people get influenced by what they watch in cinemas. I don't believe so.

Do sick, disturbed individuals get inspired by what they watch in cinemas. Undoubtedly.

all the people here saying that viloent movies and video games "inspire" idiots to go and cause mass murders/ Alright, from now on the only thing that will be allowed to be watched or played are my little pony cartoons and video games. thats it no more superhero movies, those are too violent, people will start killing. No more GTA or Call of Duty or Devil May Cry, just simply Animal Crossing on all the platforms. Will that make the world any better? No. In fact i think if there werent any violent mediums people would be more violent. People play violent video games and get there rage out from life and calm down. people watch violent movies and enjoy the violence because they damn well know they cant even kill anyone themselves so why not watch it. I have been watching Horror films since i was 9 or 10, and i am the least likely person to commit an act of violence ever. In fact I am super timid. Sure i have thoughts of killing people, but everyone does, you arent human if you dont get pissed to that point. But I have never killed anyone because i knew it was illegal, and that i could be killed for it. Maybe we should actually look at mental health treatments and take those more seriously and diagnose people more often for certain things, then if they have certain diseases they shouldnt be allowed to have certain weaponry. Makes sense!
