struggles

I saw the Departed on Wednesday nite and it changed my life. I no longer want to see movies like that. I used to think they were entertaining or a slice of real life if you will and while they might be a true view of life the redemption of what I got out of the movie besides wanting to be violent is hard to figure.
I have weighed this out.
I love Braveheart~~Crash~~Saving Private Ryan~~Million Dollar Baby and some of these movies would be questionable in many peoples minds. HOWEVER, movies like Mystic River, Scarface and the Departed did nothing for me except tell me it was ok to smash someones head and not only that but, I would probably be considered cool and even cooler once my had gets smashed in. Hey, I liked The Departed, I laughed, I cringed I got angry and so forth and so on. It was an interesting story but, no good came out of it. When I left the theatre I felt like being violent. I wanted to pick up a trash can and throw it or punch my foot through something. I don't want to feel like that.

I could go on and on about this and debate it eternally for eternity but, it comes down to this:

Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.
From the Bible, book of Phillipians
