When I was a kid, we never really paid any attention to the message in a movie, all we cared about was the action.
You are right ✅️ that was what made movie fun then but sadly, most children imitated the violence part more than being calm. I wonder what could run in your mind then as to imitating the hanging part. Hahaha 😀 that was so serious. More reason, parents need to be watchful and notice every behaviour in their kids because most of them come from watching those kind of movies.
And yes, we wouldn't say violence erupted only from movies, though part of it but the most common one is from human beings. Many people solely choose that path to cause havoc and all sorts. But I believe we can truly live in peace rather than turning to violence.
