Good post.
What you said about the movies is insightful.
Last night we watched “The Sting” again. Great movie. When it was finished, there were extra features that we could watch, so we did.
There were a lot of interviews done many years later with most all of the actors. One thing they said over and over was the attention to small details that the director and writer of the screenplay was phenomenal. Everything had to be very specific to the con man culture, their language, the way they could get someone to believe them. Those things made the movie believable and authentic.
You’re very right about the lack of genuineness in woke culture. It’s where Bud Light has royally screwed themselves over, and there’s no way for them to recapture their former buyers, because the cat is out of the bag. Now people know how much they’ve been played, and they aren’t happy about being fooled.
It is about Truth. If truth is subjective, then it can’t be truth.
Anyway, great post. I sure enjoyed reading it.
Effective movies do smoke and mirrors to make you think it is Luke Skywalker aboard an Imperial vessel telling Princess Leah he is there to save her, when in actuality, it is actor Mark Hamill talking to a piece of masking tape on a piece of plywood paint flat black.
If done effectively, we interpret it as taking place on an Imperial vessel instead of a Hollywood set.
That small kernel of truth enables all that follows.
If the set was poorly done, people would think it was in a set in Hollywood.
