Right. And as we both know, his catalog is much more diverse than that. The claim that creating entertainment that contains elements of violence is glorifying that violence is a totally empty one. I'm just not sure where people get that from. Also, could you imagine how boring it would be if every story with bad guys in it ended with the cops showing up and making sure the bad guys were brought to justice? Or if in every interaction that happened in a film or book, the author or director had to clearly outline for the consumer which parts of the interaction were appropriate and inappropriate, or good or bad, or funny or not funny? I mean c'mon that's just silly.
The world of directing and storytelling would come to a screeching halt. Apparently, some people don't understand what the word fiction means.
