Gay Cowboys And Other Hollywood Philosophies
By guest | May 13, 2009
The whole country is talking about the film Brokeback Mountain and it has created no small stir. On a Sun. morning TV editorial Charles Osgood indicated that Hollywood isn’t tying to put forth a gay liberal agenda but rather are interested only in the bottom line money. Though not inferred, it sounded like capturing the minds of adults or poisoning the minds of our youth was just an immaterial that occurred on the way to the bank. For over thirty years I have warned that it is not just what we see on films that will influence us. Each film has a philosophy attached to it if it was intended or not.
Sex, violence and profanity are blaringly visible but subtle philosophies are becoming more obvious and are becoming more blatant and are even less subtle.
The race for ticket office cash is not all that fuels this raw open ended sort of expression in the film industry. The mention of any sort of control [ even self control ] is had a meeting with cries of violated first modification rights and the old liberty of expression hype. It may appear a bit over used but remains true nevertheless that Hollywood hasn’t troubled to discern the difference between freedom and license.
A poll discovered that just one out of a thousand Americans knows all of the rights our constitution makes provision for them. On average the poll declared that the general public can name only 1 of our constitutional rights. Contrasted with that fact, it was discovered the the same folks could name three or more of the characters in the Television animated sitcom, The Simpsons. The bottom line announces that flick makers know what their rights are but the movie viewing public either doesn’t have a clue or they just don’t care. Anyone who thinks TV and Movies don’t influence our society must be living in another country. Yet even that is not true.
Another poll not long ago discovered that one of the explanations that nearly every major country in the world hates USA citizens is thanks to the film industry. All they know about America is what they see in the movies. Immorality, silly love, rebellion, crime, gay cowboys and general mayhem is all they see. Any country making an attempt to keep order and develop would naturally reject this type of example and that is precisely what they do.
Could we get Hollywood’s attention on this, not so far but perhaps we could catch them on the way to the bank and let them aware. It is estimated that US citizens will spend 15 years on average of their whole lives watching TV and Movies. Perhaps it isn’t not reasonable to think John Q television watching public is going to take any time out of their fifteen years to snatch some Hollywood producers on their way to the bank. Maybe they could protest a bit during the commercials which comprise about five of the fifteen years of their Television and movie watching lives. Actors and others in the film industry are paid giant sums of money to do and say things most Americans don’t believe believe should ever be seen or uttered. Are they showing us our mind, or is art coaxing life instead of imitating it. I suppose when actors or thespians are offered little fortunes to behave and talk badly they must believe they are living right. They too probably laugh all the way to the bank. Most USA citizens don’t act like actors but Hollywood can afford to make them act anyway they choose. It all seems Ok if the end [ the trip to the bank ] seems to explain the means. Some Yankees are a bit tired of Hollywood suggesting how to live rather than showing how they actually live. The Bible isn’t bored by anything but has a lot to point out about how sick human behavior can become. Maybe it is best claimed by the bible regardless of whether Hollywood is listening or not. There is a way which seemeth right unto a person, but the end thereof are the techniques of death. Proverbs 14:12
