I don't know if it happens to everyone. Maybe its just me, but everytime time I see a good action movie or tv show, I really want to spar, fight, unleash some form voilence brought about by the warrior's call burning within my blood. I'm not saying that I really want to cause pain, suffering, death and the like to anyone, but at the same time I want to fight. Whether it be with weapon in hand or my hands bare, I want to pulverize my way to glory. For love, for justice, for honor... any or all, perhaps others. Of course none of them for "vile" or "evil" purpose. I know that for some, violence itself is a vile and evil purpose regardless of the reasoning and situation. To those individuals I suppose only harsh judgements can be laid against my desires. However I have a broader gaze that sees the need for violence as balance, Yin and Yang, one that must be allowed in order to maintain the balance of self and society.
No matter your view or opinions on the matter, I just really wish such movies were interactive and I could let out all my energy on the screen, but until that time I guess I need to start taking my sparring buddies to action flicks.
