Gay Cowboys And Other Hollywood Philosophies

The entire country is talking about the film Brokeback Mountain and it has created no little stir. On a Sun. morning Television editorial Charles Osgood pointed out that Hollywood isn’t tying to put forth a gay liberal agenda but rather are interested only in the bottom line cash. Though not inferred, it sounded like capturing the minds of adults or poisoning the minds of our youth was simply an incidental that occurred on the way to the bank. For over 30 years I have warned that it is not just what we see on films that may influence us. Each film has a philosophy attached to it if it was intended or not. 

Sex, violence and profanity are blaringly visible but delicate philosophies are becoming more obvious and are becoming more blatant and are far less refined. 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 freedom of expression hype. It may seem a bit over used but remains true nevertheless that Hollywood has never bothered to discern the difference between freedom and license. 

A recent poll discovered that only one out of a thousand US people knows all the rights our constitution provides for them. About the poll related that most people can name only 1 of our constitutional rights. Contrasted with that fact, it was discovered that the same people could name three or more of the characters in the Television animated sitcom, The Simpsons. The bottom line announces that movie makers know what their rights are but the flick viewing public either does not have a clue or they just don’t care. Anyone who thinks TV and Flicks don’t influence our society has to be living in another country. Yet even that is not true. 

Another poll not long ago discovered that one of the explanations that almost every major country worldwide hates US citizens is due to the film industry. All they know about America is what they see in the movies. Immorality, frivolous romance, rebellion, crime, gay cowboys and general mayhem is all they see. Any country trying to keep order and develop would naturally reject this kind of example and that is exactly what they do. 

Could we get Hollywood’s attention on this, not so far but maybe we could catch them on the way to the bank and let them know. 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 15 years to grab a few Hollywood producers on their way to the bank. Perhaps they could protest a bit in the commercials which comprise about 5 of the 15 years of their TV and flick watching lives. Actors and others in the flick industry are paid massive 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 rather than imitating it. I suspect 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 Americans don’t act like actors but Hollywood can afford to make them act anyway they select. It all appears Ok if the end [ the trip to the bank ] appears to explain the means. Some Americans are a bit done with Hollywood advising a way to live instead of depicting how they really live. The Bible isn’t bored with anything apart from has a lot to point out about how sick human behavior can become. Maybe it is best said 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
