As expected, some viewers shocked the life scenes of the life of serial killer Ed Gain (daily), shown in the Netflix series created by Ian Brennan and Ryan Murphy in the new Monster season. But beyond the discomfort they have expressed, this criticism is an interesting argument for the useful properties of violence (or not) violence on screens.
The series is doing too much?
The theme of “screen violence” is the old debate that moves from time to time and which the creative team was well aware of. Even before the series was published, actress Charlie Hunam, a gain translator, announced our colleagues Hollywood reporter : “I have never had the impression that we have done something free or shocking.”.
Some scenes are shocking, yes, but they, according to the actor, were always necessary to solve this character’s story: “I have never had the impression that we were dramatized. Everything was done to tell this story as frankly. I am sure that this is a very sincere study of why this guy did what he did.”
Ed Gain, Series Message?
Still in Hollywood Reporter, screenwriter Ian Brennan also defends the series and especially his “human” and “realistic” vision of the killer who inspired psycho and texas chainsaw massacre: “It is about a single, strange and mentally ill man. The series is primarily a story of mental illness. It was important for us to be the horror of his inner life and the horror of prison in which his brain was locked.”
A very current discussion on mental health, which is fully shared by actress Susanna Sonny, who performs the character of Adelin Watkins in the series: “This is angry at the community, and the fact that there were no mental institutions was not an early diagnosis.”
The viewer’s fault?
The Creator concludes that the viewer will be followed by his charm against violent criminals, and shockingly expresses crimes: “Is Ed Gain Monster of this show, or was the monster of filmmakers a legion who inspired her to live in her life and dramatized for fun?
A satisfactory way to finish the debate? We are more likely to imagine that all these questions will definitely continue the discussions of the fuel around the season of the 3 seasons that no one leaves indifference!
