This is the exact problem with Hollywood, Politics. Around, as early as the 60's, Hollywood elitists thought they could dip their hands in how this economy should be ran. You've all heard of the "Not in our Name" petition going around? This is ridiculous, these people are not politicians, half of them don't even have political science degree's or the likewise.
Art is made to inspire and splurge extraordinary thought, this can bleed into government value. But the problem isn't just with the entertainment world, it's everywhere. Homes, business, the government. We don't parent our children anymore, instead we befriend them, we don't work for the goodness of positive production anymore in our jobs, and our government hasn't worked for the "people" in 50 years.
The film industry, yes, is slightly to blame for the jargon they produce to the masses, but people still attend because it's what they want to see. This is how we're entertained. But has it not always been this way, if not gotten a bit better? What about Rome, Gladiators. At least now we don't enjoy real life massacres. Even boxing shortened the maximum amount of rounds a fight can last because 15 was to many for the fighters health. So there are some perks to our moral of entertainment. The problem is everyone expects someone else to do something about it. Yes we shouldn't block our first amendment, but there needs to be a line that should be drawn not just by parents for the kids, but by this nation for its "kids".
