Kevin Smith did one of these in Dogma. Sent the angels to kill a bunch of greedy c-suites. All men and one woman. An entire few minutes was dedicated to walking across the room and talking about all the evil each person has done.
Guess which one was "a pure soul" and had zero sins despite working right next to all the others?
The one that grants access to pussy?
It was a red-head, wasn't he? And with pure, you meant 'absence of'.
I had never seen this movie before. I saw a youtube video talking about Ghost Rider comics and his powers and it intrigued me, so I watched the Ghost Rider movie.
It was a good bad movie if that makes sense. I enjoyed it, but it was equal parts good and bad. It's like the type of movie you're enjoying as you're laughing at how bad it is. It's strange in that way.
But this scene, man, I know they've been seeping propaganda in for a while, but it's usually not this blatant in 2007. This is like 2015 and later levels of blatant.
All the guys in the jail are white, except one black kid, and wouldn't you know it, the one black kid is the only innocent one.
I didn't expect that level of modernity from 2007.
Nicholas Cage films are the best bad films. That's why you always ask if it's a Cage movie, or is he just in it?
I’ve literally witnessed a black kid around that kid’s age stab another kid over some shoes.
Leftists subverting for blacks has been going on for decades.
Even as far back as the 70s newspapers stopped reporting the race of people committing crimes because “it could give people the wrong idea” but then they’d always include the race if white or asian.
Then you had Norman Lear’s near stranglehold on comedy shows through the 70s with All in the Family, Good Times, The Jefferson’s and Maude - all promoting leftist/subversive issues.
I had a job in the creative business for a few years with some leftists and it literally is at the top of their mind that the MESSAGE must be woven into the story to guide the people into proper thoughts and encourage good moral behavior (but their morals… of course)
Its very quasi-religious that way.
ST TNG was absolutely newage wokeism which Roddenberry had adopted over the years.
While TOS had its leftist points, especially in the later 2nd/3rd seasons as the show got co-opted. The stories were at least an open debate of the topics and not a preaching session that TNG loved to do. I mean cmon - oops, these prewarp people have seen us - gotta wipe their minds for their own good. Who thinks that’s a proper moral thing to do?!
Really though, media has always been controlled in the US. If not by the government outright then by “moral committees” that forced media to adhere to certain codes.
It’s just the utter hypocrisy though - the media and leftists REEED when Janet Jackson had her wardrobe “malfunction” on public tv and the Republicans, in power at the time, wanted the FCC to fine them. No no - that’s abhorrent to free speech! Now you have the leftists applauding the SC decision that it’s perfectly ok for government to coerce media companies to ban wrongthink.
And look at the nose on Lear, dude was a walking stereotype.

This is one of the things that MIGHT have just been done with no thought but thanks to current day we see it through an ideological lens.
Give you two examples: John Stewart as Green Lantern and Samuel L Jackson as Nick Fury. If they were done NOW not previously, regardless of quality they'd be a lot of people saying that they were blackwashing a character.
This could've been resolved with having a young White or Latino kid be the one getting the 'innocent' line but even back then there was a known predilection for young Black men to have 'wrong time, wrong place' syndrome so this scene might've been made under that than agenda pushing.
I know since I started "noticing" sometimes it's difficult to tell when a cigar is just a cigar. Even watching older tv with my mom, I'll catch what I believe is subversive material in The Andy Griffith Show. I dunno if it's there or if I'm putting in there.
Yeah, unfortunately, the SJW's succeeding in getting me to view entertainment the way they view it in most cases. "Everything is political". Well no it wasn't....but thanks for being so deranged and persistent with your propaganda that I can't hardly watch anything anymore like a normal person and now watch it like a friggin woke college activist seeing devils behind every bush. It's pretty impressive actually. For as impotent as we've called SJW's they've pretty well succeeded in forcing a biased pair of glasses on our faces. We come from complete opposite directions ideologically, but they have succeeded in ruining even past, good entertainment in a lot of ways just like they were hoping.
It’s not the SJWs to be fair, they are just used as the tool to push it
It's extremely hard to know as we've LONG known Hollywood was infected with commie sympathisers, it's just figuring out when they fully moved into the race and gender grift to subvert the West.
Andy Griffith was a Democrat. He actually did have subversive stuff in his show. Old school girl power stuff, plus near the end of the run of it or the Mayberry spin off there was supposed to be a black family that moved in. Plus, guess the ethnicity of the man who created the show? Still way better than what is on modern TV though.
Your first instinct is the correct instinct.
There really is no such thing as coincidence when it comes to institutions that require deliberate structure and format for deployment.
TV has always been used for propaganda.
I guess technically it could be accidental. But there's like 12 people in that scene, that they picked the only black guy to proclaim innocent by mere chance is highly improbable. But really though, Hollywood has led the way on the deliberate distortion of reality for a long long time, well before 2007. It was called the "long march through the institutions" quite aptly, and movies were one of the first steps in that march.
This is what makes viewing media pre 2014-2010 EXTREMELY difficult as you rightly pointed out, it was a long march so hard to tell exactly when they added new targets or changed tactics.
So as another comment pointed out, we risk seeing EVERYTHING as political unfortunately accepting the leftist framework. I'm trying to just get by with if it's shit or not as thankfully, the fully ideologically captured have no idea how to make entertainment.
I'm satisfied with differentiating myself from them by a general deferrence to objectivity. If it's a 50:50 chance it was random, I won't presume intent. If it's an 11/12 shot, I'm willing to bet on the majority odds.
Subversion and corruption thrive on benefit of the doubt and uncertainty. They never get punched in the face for being manipulative pieces of shit because everyone's so busy handwringing over the miniscule chance it's a coincidence or a misunderstanding and each individual insult is small, they achieve their desired effect by repeating it thousands of times at zero cost.
"Everything is political" wasn't an observation for them, it was a goal, and people left them to their devices in entertainment for so long that they largely achieved that goal. Recognizing that for decades now a large amount of media has had some cultist in the writers' room slipping in positive PR for their dogma isn't falling to the dark side, it's just abandoning the cope that they haven't got power.
Yeah exactly this. Why would anyone give open liars the benefit of the doubt?
The off-the-handle bullshit we see now couldn't have happened if the way hadn't been paved before, so I'm fine with assuming casting choices made since the 90s were done with political intent. There was a lot of propaganda even in children's cartoons; you'd see it with "Clinton is cool, Republicans old and mean" messaging in Animaniacs or the crippled team member in Extreme Ghostbusters.
Nick Fury was White in the comic books so ironically he was a blackwashed character to begin with. Most fans of the Marvel movies had no idea because they had never read the comic books. Marvel really struck gold and then threw it all away.
He was white, and a WWII vet in the regular universe. He was based on Jackson in the Ultimate series.
I just know I got the comic names wrong...
Yes, the character was blackwashed in the ultimate series way before the movies. You can tell it wasn't a coincidence because race swapping characters only ever changes characters that were originally White.
I think it's because the best version of him as white is the Hoff. That is a very different movie.
Wdym? John Stewart was entirely them trying to make a black Green Lantern for the sake of a having a black Green Lantern.
I put him, Samuel Jackson inspired Nick Fury and characters like them in a seperate category to diversity inclusion for one reason:
They're actual CHARACTERS, they're a PERSON compared to just a palette change as if I asked for the difference between Hal Jordan and John Stewart, you could at least give me 10.
These current colour changes you probably couldn't give me anything other than the non white one was shit.
do white people even hang out with each other and form criminal gangs anymore?
Only the government Stooges.
this is a stretch. the kid's the only one that didn't gang up on him, so of course he gets let off.
How does that change it? The writers wrote that part too.
They intentionally made the one black character the only one who is not a scumbag and tries to help the hero while all the other chracters, all white are evil except the protagonist.
And something about Ghost Rider is he can see your sins and can sense evil. He wasn't just saying you did a good deed right there so I'm letting you off the hook. He was saying, "you're not guilty or a criminal unlike the rest in here"
One thing ive noticed with films of the 1970s is they were big on blasphemy.
1970s was more overtly blasphemous in movies than even today in many cases. Take a simple adventure movie like Poseiden Adventure and the anti-God theme is a heavy element weaved throughout the picture.
Clockwork Orange has some of the most blasphemous stuff Ive ever seen.
It seems because the 70s had some of the least studio interference, the artists tended towards that a lot when given free reign. The 80s and onward after Star Wars got more profit focused and a lot of that overt blasphemy in movies went away.
One other interesting example in the 60s is Planet of the Apes. The average person will tell you that its a racial allegory.
Surprisingly when I watched it, thats not even really a theme. The actual plot and theme is a pro evolution, anti-Christian plot.
The theme all throughout the first planet of the apes is that Charleton Heston saying what humans are challenges the apes religion and supports the few "brave ape scientists" who have been doubting the ape religion and pushing for the theory of evolution. Towards the end of the movie the religious apes even admit they knew that humans evolved from apes but wouldnt let that knowledge be known or else it would have destroyed their position of power.
Bizarrely the Planet of the Apes has little to do with slavery and racial allegories as it's made out, and far more to do with pushing a "Christians are suppressing science and denying evolution" message.
Let me ask you something I just thought of because of your post. Is Tim Burton's POTA movie an anti-gun movie?
It's been a long time since I've seen it. I'll rewatch it relatively soon since I haven't seen it in forever and I'll tell you what I think.
Oh it definitely went back further than the 1960's. Remember even in the 1930's and 1940's we had subversive globalist probably a jew faggot like Charlie Chaplin being one of the most powerful stars in Hollywood. His Final Speech from The Great Dictator was straight up calling for "doing away with national barriers" and whining about "muh intolerance and hate" and going on about "muh science and progress"
