Why Modern Movies Suck!

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?

A possibly important take here on 'modern movies' and such. It particularly references The Odyssey and the storm that currently surrounds it. It basically suggests that the extreme mental-level wokeness being injected into entertainment media these days might have an entirely different agenda behind it, being quite different to what I suggested here. I don't know if this is accurate, I'd like to think it genuinely is, but it's just a theory -- but an interesting one.

---

I want you to envision something.

It might be hard, but make a sincere effort.

Picture hundreds of people who used to make quite good movies who've literally been COERCED over the past 15 years into making increasingly absurd Woke Sh!t Movies.

I don't mean the top level people, the suits.

I mean the actors, the directors, the writers, the people who got into that industry because they loved it and they wanted to tell creative stories.

And many of these studios USED TO LET THEM do that.

But starting around 2010 the noticeable shift suddenly accelerated. The suits at the top implemented a woke culture from the top down.

Was H'wood always left since the 1960s? Yes, of course.

But did they AT LEAST UNDERSTAND where the lines were, and even if they did do overtly Leftist films, they weren't ABSURD WOKE FILMS that were guaranteed to lose money. And they were still making a fair number of great and compelling films alongside their 'Message' stuff.

But around 2010 the shift happened. And the people further down suddenly noticed they **can't** get funding for original stuff that isn't woke. Subtlety or more overtly, they're getting their good projects cancelled and they're being shown THIS type of stuff is all we're doing now.

Imagine you're somebody that's been making great compelling original films for 20 years and all of a sudden you wake up one day and you're in a ****ing straightjacket. The same top producers you need to keep working are turning down every one of your original projects, while either STRONGLY HINTING TO YOU or OVERTLY TELLING YOU they want you to do Woke Sh!t Movies.

How LONG are you gonna put up with that? Even LEFTIST people in Hollywood understand OVER HALF THE COUNTRY IS NOT LEFTIST. And even less are Woke.

So for the past decade and a half, a lot of truly creative filmmakers, actors, writers, etc. have been essentially HELD HOSTAGE by the people at the top of their own industry, who are TELLING them Woke sh!t Content is where it's now.

They can't get their great creative ideas made, and the only thing they're getting funding for is woke projects the STUDIOS are asking them to make.

What's the solution?

How do you GET THE ****ING STRAITJACKET OFF?

Do you lead an overt rebellion against the suits?

Or do you destroy the Woke Hollywood Sh!t Machine from the INSIDE with a literal ****ing TROJAN HORSE of **the** most WOKE MOVIE EVER MADE?

Does anybody understand IRONY?

Christopher Nolan WANTS TO GO BACK to being able to make the kind of movies he used to make.

So do a LOT of people in that town.

The mistake people are making is thinking EVERYBODY IN HOLLYWOOD is on the Woke Train to Nowhere, happily going along with an agenda that is corrupting and destroying their careers.

It's not true. A **lot** of people in Hollywood are not happy about this.

Rush Limbaugh said the most POWERFUL tool to force a Leftist into retreat is to take their OWN WORDS and go ALL THE WAY WITH IT to the logical conclusion and SHOW THEM how absurd their beliefs are.

A creative team put its head together and came up with the most ABSURD WOKE SH!T MOVIE OF ALL TIME, taking the woke absurdities to eleventy-eleven.

The reason The Odyssey was made by these people isn't to AFFIRM or STRENGTHEN the Hollywood Woke Sh!t Machine.

The Odyssey was made by to CHOKE THAT MACHINE TO DEATH as the entire world watches it happen.

And once the Woke Hollywood Sh!t Machine has choked to death on its own absurdity, these people in Hollywood will be able to go back to making the kind of films they did before the Woke Mind Virus ****ed it all up.

And don't misunderstand what I'm telling you. I'm not saying Matt Damon or Christopher Nolan or others involved here are closet conservatives or MAGA or something.

I'm saying they're tired of living in the Woke Box the last 15 years and they wanna go BACK to doing the kind of movies they used to able to make.

In this sense, The Odyssey is a 'message' movie, but the general public is not the who the message is intended for.

Pissed off very talented people in Hollywood who've been laboring under the iron-fisted control of the Woke suits are TROLLING those who forced this on them.

"Oh, you want WOKE, do you? Gird your loins, assholes. WE'LL GIVE YOU THE MOST WOKE MOVIE OF ALL TIME. Choke on THIS, bitches!"

And a troll like this only works if you do it with a straight face.

Mel Gibson, Sly Stallone, Jon Voight, Tom Cruise, and many others inside the Hollywood Beast are doing great work.
