In short: feminists, lesbians, white man bad but all blacks (men and women) are good, the south is eeeebiiilll, the law is corrupt, ACAB, "cannibalism is ok as long as it is punishment", "single mothers are better than a stable family", etc, etc.
Nothing new, art house of the 80s was Hollywood of the 90s. There was that crappy angel falls in love with a human movie which is crazy sacrilegious. American History X, which had “white supremacists” terrorizing Koreans in California…. Boyz in da Hood and Menace To Society which glorified ghetto culture. The Malcolm X whitewashed movie. Amistad with it’s crazy revisionist history. On and on…
But then, they also misrepresent Purgatory, and spread the nonsense that dead human souls "become" angels (they're a totally different kingdom of critter, basically.)
Maybe redo Highway to Heaven with the above-mentioned angels ...
If we're going by Bible canon, there are numerous examples of that video's first entry: angels taking human form and walking with man. The whole backstory of the fallen nature of satan and his demons is that they were angels that wanted to mate with human women. So Travolta's Michael may very well be sacrilegious but it's not completely out of line with biblical stories. Same with Highway to Heaven. Though I agree a hitchhiking Ophanim travelling around the country getting odd jobs and telling people their life is worth living is a funny image.
Not generally a fan of Benji Shapiro, but his book 'Primetime Propaganda' is worth a read if you want to see how conniving and devious Hollywood has been for decades now. McCarthy was right all along.
Yea I remember that and in the book I hear those two women were lovers. But when I saw it in the 90s this message wasn’t constantly pushed. At least not that I saw
There's a Swedish movie called "As It Is In Heaven" which covers most of this same subject matter (sort of), but in a more contemporary setting, and way, way better...
No lesbians per se, but the whole "rural domestic abuse", bullies, discrimination, etc. - a lot of the same... Tropes, I guess.
I think my emotional reaction to that is the same as a lot of people's apparent reaction when watching "Tomatoes" for the first time, so that's... Interesting.
It's just not so... "On the nose" about it, if you ask me. Or maybe it's a cultural difference? Not sure.
Maybe Swedes find the stereotypes in "Heaven" as jarring as I find the stereotypes in "Tomatoes" (as an outsider, but knowing people from both places). Maybe not. But certainly... I found "Tomatoes" much harder to sit through, at least personally, lol...
While it still exists (it's been erased off Youtube, and this was essentially the only "original", at least for the audio, that I could find):
https://vimeo.com/474549641
This is probably one of the two most important bits from the movie, and it's the, uhh, abused woman, singing about freedom, naturally.
I found that quite moving, at the time (yes, it's in Swedish. And yes, subtitles lol).
Tfw you learn all the movies you liked when you were younger were subversive pieces of propaganda.
I haven't seen it myself as a film, but an ex. that comes to mind is Pleasantville. Modern-day teens/young-adults screw up a perfectly fine 50s town with modern sensibilities
I remember having to watch that movie in highschool english class and every kid in class hated it. I dont think anyone could properly verbalize it, but I think everyone knew it was creepy propaganda.
Movies have been woke, political, propaganda for a long time. I should know because I love them all the way back to the silent era. The trick which you have just learned is to see the woke and either dump the movie, or laugh at the woke and enjoy the fun parts.
It just jumps out at you more now, whereas when these films first came out, you wouldn't have thought much of it. That goes for old comedies, too, and it started with Bewitched (which was more about class than anything.)
Remember that Twilight Zone was how Rod Serling figured out how to preach and entertain at the same time. Roddenberry also had to hide his preaching behind sci-fi.
At least I can still appreciate Rochester for the "mouthy butler who knows he can get away with shit because he's an awesome butler who puts up with shit no one else will" trope.
I have, frankly, never seen FGT, because to be honest, I hate "talking head" movies, where humans just arse around whining about shit. Have also managed to avoid The Colour Purple.
Feminism has been entrenched in Western society for nearly 100 years. Think as far back to the temperance movement as a major significant disaster initiated by so called oppressed women.
Female fantasy, from a time when people knew not to confuse fantasy with reality.
At some point between then and now, people seem to have lost that ability. Too many idiots now see something in a movie or TV and equate that with reality. This is having real world repercussions.
At the time the movie was seen as weird and antisocial. The only people who liked it were (((Movie Critics))) at the time. It’s only relevant now because society has gotten so bad.
Sounds like Criminal Minds. 95% of the time it's a white guy being either evil or just a complete lunatic for no reason. In the rare instance a black guy did it, it's because generational trauma forced him to, or it turns out he's actually the good guy but the law is unfair and they're forced to take him in.
Anti-white propaganda runs very deep anywhere Hollywood has control.
Funnily enough, Criminal Minds could get away with being more white than normal simply because serial killers (in the culturally popular sense) aren't as completely dominated by blacks. Not 95% but by using the "we made one inspired by X" they'd probably still end up with a majority.
And then they'd end up eventually with Wayne Williams who got away with killing a lot more children just because people threw hissy fits that they would even imply a black dude would kill black kids instead of white supremacists. Which fucked the whole investigation for a long time and proves it ain't just Hollywood that's always been like this.
I’ve been watching Chicago PD for a while as well. You are right about that. At least they do show black criminals but the way the black cop hid the fact he was a cop was a bit silly and his girlfriend whining about the police. After sci-fi and fantasy cop shows or crime drama are my favorite probably because prior to joining the Air Force I gave serious thought to being a cop. Ever since Floyd so many cop shows have become ridiculous. I stopped watching the Rookie because the went full on “white supremacists everywhere”
If there were half as many as shown America would easily be a white nationalist playground.
This is precisely the impression the leftist establishment wants everyone to believe.
"White supremacy/white nationalism" is the new manufactured bogeyman even as blacks are elevated to demigod status and the fact that they are butchering one another in their ghettos is ignored and whitewashed (so to speak).
It is the Big Lie that justified the attempted creation of a Ministry of Disinformation.
It is the Big Lie that along with institutionalized TDS fuels the Jan 6 show trial and its effort to imprison/discredit opponents of the current regime.
It is the DP's go-to slur in the current election cycle.
Thanks. Greatly appreciated. You seem the same way. As well as the fact you like to get the actual facts over emotion. I teach the youth at my church so that’s my biggest way of helping now. I remember I told someone how big the kkk is now and they were shocked. Also did you ever see the video of the kkk rally where there were a handful of them being drowned out by counter protesting
I was watching Baywatch. I think season 5 tended to give a centrist, balanced, view of things. Season 6 swerved hard left. It's like the writing team was replaced or something. The final episode of season 5 had an alcoholic female life guard falsely accuse one of the main guys of sexual harassment. Pam Anderson's character helps him catch the accuser on tape confessing she made up the accusation. Problem solved, right? Next episode, season 6, the guy is fired, the accuser is still around, and the show tries to forget she got the guy fired on false sexual harassment allegations.
To be fair, the show would be much less interesting if every episode they just find out the perp shot his gun sideways 10 times to hit his victim twice for no other reason than a lack of impulse control

Jesus, 90s Hollywood...

They should make a movie with Bible-accurate angels.

Watch Robin Hood, Prince of Thieves. All Englishmen are stupid including nobles, Muslims are moderate and wise, stronk women everywhere.
It's always been around, but before mass formation psychosis, no one gave it any consideration beyond "those retards"

This goes back at least as far as John Dewey, who pushed to abuse the school system to indoctrinate children into his Progressivist mental illness.

Lonnie Franklin wasn't, but the guy I meant, Wayne Williams was. Mistake on my part, glad your question inspired me to check.
