Movies of late have degenerated into a sort of virtual Leftist messaging system, where everyone has the same set of skills as everyone else--therefore diminishing the value of them all.
Mostly, these skills are built around violence, child abuse and torture, all of which the viewer gets to watch moving across the silver stream of their home theaters.
The brutality of action movies is astounding. Special pleasure is taken for their revenge killings, all of which makes them variations of the same movie.
The tripe of romantic comedy makes me cringe. I'm always concerned about just who will be attracted to what in these storylines.
Dramas have become dystopian nightmares, acclimating the viewers to their future fates.
The Nature Channel will eventually be reserved for "Soylent Green" end-of-life virtual reality conclusions.
Just like during the last Great Depression, people will spend what they have left to lose themselves in the make-believe world of the movies "to forget about life for awhile."
The internet also provides a plethora of other distractions, and the new Apple VR goggles reminds me of another one of my stories:

This is one of the ways how they get us. But they can also take it all away from us at a whim and we will fall into "technology withdrawal syndrome" or some such thing. I think this is what they have planned.
Politics is a movie also; it's just that most people still think that there are some particular bad actors that can save them. When enough of us understand that none of their movies are real, but make-believe lies sold by liars, then we have a chance to play the role of our choice, not theirs.
The movie falls apart once they can't find enough actors to play their self-destructive parts.
Like everything else, their success depends upon our participation.
Choose accordingly.
