Jess' Midpoint Update

Many films have the reputation of sensationalizing actions and behaviors that are not always healthy or beneficial for the individual or the people around them. It is only in a few isolated instances that the plots of the films transpire as a reality.  Copycat crimes from films range from bank robberies to first-degree murder.  For many years the movies Point Break and The Town have inspiring bank robberies across North America.  Fight Club has turned into a recurring among teenage fans of the film, holding their own fight clubs in the basements of their homes.

I haven’t decided what the final film I’m focusing on yet, I’m deciding between Natural Born Killers and A Clockwork Orange so I will include something introduction once I choose.


 Intro
P 1 & 2: Point Break and The Town- Robberies, masks/costumes and remake
P 3 & 4: Fight Club – copycat clubs (3) and Kyle Shaw Starbucks bombing (4)
P 5 & 6:
A Clockwork Orange – Kubrick forced to take it off shelves in the UK b/c of backlash
Or

Natural Born Killers - has had the highest number of separate killings related to it, and notably ones where the murderers admit that the film was the source of their actions.  
Conclusion
