Just some of the most admired works of recent American popular art...

Recent American popular art, well if you say so. I took "Theater Appreciation" too! Just don't get the cart before the horse there B. Shakespear and Sophocles had their rape, bloodshed, and mutliations occur off stage and out of sight. It wasn't splashed on the screen, over and over and over again.

Ever read Titus Andronicus or King Lear? The latter has a character gouge out another person's eyes on stage. The former is virtually nonstop carnage. And the films I mentioned are lot more then mindless violence.
