Why has our society evolved to a state where sexual themes are feared more than violence? The other night I started watching The Revenant, which is a good movie, but there's a scene near the beginning (minor spoilers ahoy) where Leonardo DiCaprio's character gets mauled by a bear. The scene was shot really well and with subtle effects and camera trickery, it really looks like this massive bear is tearing into the man. Bones are broken, flesh ripped open, and it's altogether a brutal depiction of violence.
