Milla Shows Us How To Be A Badass Mommy
Milla Jovovich, everyone's favorite kickass heroine of the Resident Evil movie series and the perfect being from Fifth Element is also a loving mother with a 2 year-old girl named Ever. While working on the movie The Fourth Kind, Parade magazine decided to ask Milla some questions on her movies, her child, and her influence.
Some questions included asking why her Resident Evil movies do so well in Japan, and a movie (.45) that never made it to the big screen but with which Milla really conected; however, the most interesting question of the lot was Milla's advice to how parents should deal with their children seeing violence and sex in the media:
"I think parents need to take a lot more responsibility than they do about whether it's OK for their children to go to Resident Evil or any other movie with violence or sex or whatever. It's really easy to blame Hollywood for violence having an effect on kids, but movies would have no power if parents would just set their own standards. And it's the same with video games."
What a novel idea, parents actually taking an interest in what their children see and play. A good portion of what children interact with can be effected by talking to them about the standards you want in your house. Then again, all of that actually involves "parenting" your children, and I think sometimes it's just easier to let the videogames and the TV play the babysitter. In the end, I'm just glad she has what seems like a level head on her shoulders, maybe that's why all the zombies want it.
