Why Modern Movies Suck!

[Vicus]

Hero path/journey

That was long ago mapped by Joseph Campbell : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Campbell

Its begging as the fool (tarot card),and his companions are the guide/magician,(tarot card the hermit)etc, the eternal /sacred feminine also as guide/price/etc.,the obstacle/Devil to beat...

You see that plot again and again in all great books/movies: Star wars,The Odyssey,Lord of the rings,Beowulf,and on and on...
It was always about the men become his best possible self...the sacred masculine.

Today after femininazi "X" wave "they" try that woman became their best MAN they can get... treating to kill the sacred feminine once and for all...and lower MEN power...

why this war on MEN? because his own nature men prefer die standing instead to live on their knee! woman because their nature are easily conquer and they will bear the child from the conquers.

That is why MEN are a treat for any "elite" shady plans and the best plan instead to fight them is denigrate them!

note: my big respect for all woman military from all countries that helped to defeat Evil in the WW2.and the today NAZI revival.and elsewhere...

I highly recommend Devon Stack's (aka Blackpilled) analysis of the Forrest Gump movie, 'A Box of Chocolates'.

You'll never see it in the same way again - but as the propaganda it really is - subtly driving home the message that we as individuals have no free will of our own, and can take no responsibility for the decisions we take in our lives - rather like the feather you see drifting around in the beginning and end of the movie, or the mantra that life is like a box of chocolates and that you only run with what you're given.

Like most people, I was subtly manipulated into thinking the Jenny character was a decent person rather than the reprobate she actually is: a selfish, pleasure-seeking whore returning to Forrest when he is a shrimp millionaire (and she a single mum riddled with AIDs). Or the scene where the mum prostitutes herself in order to obtain the education the young Forest needs, as though it's an inevitability that no other options are on the table. Truly reprehensible.

Scratch beneath the sugar-coated gloss and what you have is a satantic movie.

Here's a very pertinent YouTube comment under one of the "First Time Watching" reactions to the 1957 all-time classic film 12 Angry Men. I'd suggest this may say a very great deal about movies then and now.

~~~

This is one those great movies. I want to bring up an important point.

This movie is from a time when the real man, a mature man, is often portrayed as wise, thinking, considerate, courteous, and respectful. In being this way, he gains respect without using force, threats, or bravado, only his thoughtful deliberate words.

In this movie, you clearly see that. The loud, bullying, and vulgar men are seen as childish and immature, the worst kind of man. Even in the last scene when Henry Fonda helps the last holdout with his jacket in a mature and respectful manner. He never disrespected the man.

This was common in movies and TV shows of the 40s, 50s, and 60's as examples of how to behave and gain respect, and began to change in the 70s, 80s, and 90s. Today, we see man-boys in movies and on TV most often.

Somewhat off topic, but if you want a slam-dunk example of how masculinity has become distorted this it it:

YouTube influencer Wes Watson, a loud, brash, steroidal, tattooed macho-man generally showing off and lording it over others who has the misfortune to cross swords with a professional debater.

In a desperate attempt to save face he ends up throwing around insults, and generally escalating things into an impotent drama once his belief system was challenged.

I highly recommend this guy's channel by the way (psychologist Dr Mark Watson).

Now Disney Star Wars has really hit rock bottom (when you already think it could not get worse).

Star Wars is now a saga about "Lesbian Witches in Space"


"Well, they said it was going to be bad, and it was. But I don't think anyone expected THIS. The Acolyte really does represent Disney Lucasfilm's ultimate vision for Star Wars, the only problem is nobody seems to share that vision." - The Critical Drinker

The Drinker unleashes perhaps his most scathing (and hilarious) review as The Rings of Power, Season 2 begins.

"At this point, Tolkien must be spinning in his grave so fast that you could hook him up to a dynamo and power the entire National Grid with him".

Bang on, as usual, the Drinker shares his latest reverie on not just movies but pop culture in general:

Some of the biggest movies in theatres right now are bringing in hundreds of millions of dollars, and they'll be forgotten within weeks. How did it get like this? When did we stop creating iconic movie moments, memorable characters and quotable lines that are remembered for generations, and will we ever get it back?
