Yes, movies did so much for the Reiner family. Until they didn’t.
It’s pretty much always been a form of propaganda to the masses. White hat and patriotic, until the closure of the Hays Office in the mid 60s. Then came mainstreamed nudity, sex, and cranked up violence and Godless nihilism. Just what America needed.
