I just don’t understand your concern.
Just saying the word “movie” would seem to me to be saying “fiction”. So regardless of what genre of “fiction”, it is still open to the charges of what you are concerned about.
The subtly of messages being inserted into film is decried when it comes from the left because it is so effective, and yet when it comes from the right it seems counterproductive? I’m not buying that argument.
Overt and preachy films and documenteries speak to the true believers but have minimal impact on the culture.
I dare say that Iron Man 2’s speech concerning his private property and the Government’s attempt to take it influenced more people in it’s first weekend than Ayn Rand’s entire library of writings and her career of speeches.
Sorry I didn't reply sooner, but I have been out of town.
I think you make some valid points, but I also think you are putting words into my mouth. I didn't say anything about it not being effective; it is just the context in which conservative values are put.
And I am not worried about it, it just strikes me odd that, in general, conservative ideas are mostly portrayed in the action-adventure genre.
I guess what I would like to see, and it is probably a pipe dream, is some independent film guy shock an audience with a thoughtful but engaging and honest look at the positives of conservative ideas.
But as I write that, I realize my dilemma: The left will NEVER see any movie with conservative values being "independent", "thoughtful", or "engaging", but merely mediocre entertainment for the unwashed masses.
So after thinking more about it, your are correct: It is better that the message get out with worrying about context. The context will always be spun negatively by the left.
