Left-wing Hollywood

America is primarily a Christian nation but I've been wondering of late do Americans hate their own religion? I'm thinking they made The DaVinci Code #1 at the box office and now the DVD is at the top of the charts too. The most common refrain of defenders of the book and movie to critics is "you moron, it's only fiction!" but this is disingenuous. It's like that movie starring Tim Robbins, Jacob's Ladder, his Jacob Singer character is a Vietnam vet and he's having all these weird hallucinations and he later finds out it was all a government plot to conduct mind-altering experiments on American soldiers and there is even the obligatory scene where the G-men pull him into a black limo and say don't pursue this or else. It's a great movie as a work of fiction but you're left wondering did they really do this, why make a movie out of it all, and I think this impression is intentional on director Adrian Lyne's part, he who directed Fatal Attraction. Also, the fact that it stars uber-lefty Tim Robbins. The normally very conservative Danny Aiello must have really needed the work. Point being DaVinci Code and Jacob's Ladder are not just fiction, there is a message behind them, like somebody planting the seed you never suspected your spouse before but now you're like thinking about it, these are message movies to question your own faith and government so it would be refreshing if the creators of such works were at least honest about it all. People who masturbate your mind

  1. I did not see either movie (but then again I don't see many movies). However, it is obvious that Hollywood leans to the left. Anyone who doesn't think that they use their media to indoctrinate is delusional.

    We need more Culture Warriors.

  2. Do you think the secularization of America is part of the contrarianism movement? Well, I am not even sure I'd call it secularization anymore, its more an all out ant-religion movement now.

  3. You know I'm actually more open-minded than most conservatives on many things and that includes conspiracies and questioning our own government but the people behind this movie, Jacob's Ladder, give no evidence whatsoever that the Army performed these experiments on our soldiers. Makes me wonder what the point of the whole movie was but with Susan Sarandon's husband in it I should have known better.

  4. I agree Beth and now they're starting to come out of their bigoted closet. Some egghead named Richard Dawkins just wrote some bestseller about how he, as a scientist, doesn't believe in God and how much harm religion has caused in the world and then you have Sir Elton John himself saying religion should be banned (why? because most religions teach don't put things up your hiney?) They are getting irritable and impatient Beth. To play Devil's Advocate for a moment I don't believe in leprechauns and mermaids but I don't spend all my time talking about them either.
