In Reply to: Why do all of the recent good films have left-wing themes? posted by mkuller on January 18, 2006 at 10:05:03:
1) Are the liberals just more creative?YES; it is our burdon in life, I guess. ;^)
2) Or is it just a backlash against the current government?
YES, again; actually the current trends in film are a combination of both (1 & 2)! The number of films reflecting social issues and opposition to the current Administration's policies reflect both consumer attitudes and the more Liberal/moderate leanings of the film going public generally.
3) Where are all the right-wing films ('Passion of the Christ' is all I can recall recently)?
Have you seen The Chronic Ills of Nurdia, yet? All sorts of conservative christian allegory are woven into the C. S. Lewis story; unchallenging, sanitized Disney pablum for Conservatively reared kids and parents who don't mind turning their brains off for 2 1/2 hours.
BTW, The Passion was a fluke and did not represent typical film audience attendence. There was an actual campaign to make this film profitable. Churches rented out theaters and bought up huge lots of tickets to push sales up, and this was racheted up by the publicity given the more controversial aspects of the film.
The Chonicles of Narnia (one reviewer called it Lord of The Rings meets The Passion), used the same PR Firm as The Passion & was marketed to bible-thumpers as a "safe" fantasy alternative to Harry Potter for their nagging kids, which some church groups have attacked and cautioned parents against taking their kids to see because of the sympathetic depictions of wizards and it's healthier relativistic view of life.
