   violence in entertainment, or exploiting it? I could go either way, but there   
   is also this scene where the jaded rich destroy trees to show how evil they   
   are.  Many shots of    
   this, which... don't look like special effects.   I'm guessing the director   
   sees these as cases where it's alright for HIM to do it, but not others.

   I may be looking at it with a later viewpoint, it's among the 'seventies   
   sci-fi I didn't see until the 21st Century, but it's along the lines of some   
   other movie I forget, from England, with an upper-crust hunting party with   
   beaters startling small    
   animals from their hiding places, one of the beaters is shot with no more   
   comment than the rabbit got away.
