Article Body: The entire country is talking about the film Brokeback Mountain and it has produced no tiny stir. On a Sunday morning Television editorial Charles Osgood pointed out that Hollywood is not tying to put forth a gay liberal agenda but rather are interested only in the bottom line – funds. Though not inferred, it sounded like capturing the minds of adults or poisoning the minds of our youth was merely an incidental that happened on the way to the bank.

For over thirty years I have warned that it is not just what we see on films that can influence us. Every film has a philosophy attached to it regardless of whether it was intended or not. Sex, violence and profanity are blaringly obvious but subtle philosophies are not. Nowadays the philosophies are becoming a lot more blatant and are far less subtle. The race for box office funds is not all that fuels this raw open ended type of expression in the film business.

The mention of any type of control (even self control) is met with cries of violated initial amendment rights and the old freedom of expression hype. It may possibly appear a bit over employed but remains accurate nevertheless that Hollywood has never bothered to discern the distinction between freedom and license.

A recent poll discovered that only 1 out of a thousand Americans knows all of the rights our constitution gives for them. On average the poll said that most folks can name only 1 of our constitutional rights. Contrasted with that truth, it was discovered that the identical individuals might name 3 or much more of the characters in the Television animated sitcom, “The Simpsons.” The bottom line says that movie makers know what their rights are but the movie viewing public either doesn’t have a clue or they just don’t care.

Everyone who thinks Television and Movies don’t influence our society has to be living in one more country. However even that is not accurate. Yet another poll lately discovered that 1 of the factors that practically Each significant country in the world hates Americans is due to the fact of the film business. All they know about America is what they see in the movies. Immorality, frivolous romance, rebellion, crime, gay cowboys and general mayhem is all they see. Any country attempting to maintain order and create would naturally reject this type of example and that is precisely what they do.

Might we get Hollywood’s attention on this, not so far but perhaps we may possibly catch them on the way to the bank and let them know. It is estimated that Americans will invest fifteen years on average of their whole lives watching Television and Movies. Maybe it is not reasonable to think John Q Tv watching public is going to take any time out of their fifteen years to grab a couple of Hollywood producers on their way to the bank. Perhaps they may protest a bit throughout the commercials which comprise about five of the fifteen years of their Television and movie watching lives.

Actors and other people in the film business are paid massive sums of funds to do and say issues most Americans don’t think ought to ever be observed or uttered. Are they showing us our mind, or is art coaxing life rather than imitating it. I suppose when actors or thespians are provided modest fortunes to behave and talk badly they should think they are living right. They too most likely laugh all the way to the bank. Most Americans don’t act like actors but Hollywood can afford to make them act anyway they select.

It all appears Ok if the end (the trip to the bank) appears to justify the indicates. Some Americans are a bit sick of Hollywood suggesting how to live instead of depicting how they truly live. The Bible isn’t sick of anything but has a lot to say about how sick human behavior can grow to be. Maybe it is very best said by the bible regardless of regardless of whether Hollywood is listening or not. There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the techniques of death. Proverbs 14:12
