How are you? Today, let's look at violence (暴力) in movies & TV shows.

Watch this short anime clip below. It's the opening to Speed Racer - the American name for マッハ Go Go Go. This was an old Japanese anime from the 1960s - maybe your parents watched it on TV when they were children. Do you think there's much violence in it? 

Take a look at this next clip. It's from the movie Gangs of New York, starring Leonardo DiCaprio. What do you think of the violence in this clip?

How about this next clip? I'm sure you know this! It's a scene from ウルトラマン (Ultraman). What do you think of the violence in this clip?

See you in class!
