That's exactly how I feel. I personally draw a line a lot sooner than most people. For example, I felt that "Life is Beautiful" demonstrated the horror of the Holocaust to me as effectively as "Schindler's List," and I didn't have to see blood spurting from a gunshot to the head. Of course, I like a lot of violent movies as well, I just watch them with a different mindset.
