These films encouraged kids watching them to accept this behavior as what kids do, they didn’t act like this and this has damaged our country. Kids today are way out of moral behavior often.
Abuse DID happen to these kids. Some of the parents sold them for the big money they made and then took control as adults of the check. Abuse is a lot more complicated then run to the cops. The abuse was done and over before they could stop it many didn’t even understand what was happening to them, how they were violated. The praise they recieved as fame grew, the parents being proud, the emotions were tangled. Culkin sued his own parents because they were taking all his money, he himself became a drug addict a well known symptom of abuse.
Sixteen Candles, Ringwald’s character’s crush Jake Ryan suggests to ‘the geek’ to have sex of his passed out girlfriend after a party at his house. The geek borrowing Sam’s underwear to brag to the guys in school that he ‘had her’, the destruction of the house in a party as funny. Even in Ferris Bueller the father’s beloved and expensive car destroyed by a kid that had no regard for his father’s prize possession. I only ever see those older men behind the camera spitefully ruining the good ways our families had, the morals, the Christian lifestyle we led back then. They hated it.
These films are a calculated spit in the eye to Christian values by an industry that basically hated our values are part of what the left has done to our country.
I understand the nostalgia. I understand not focusing on the films made years ago but the reality is this was part of that whole deliberate leftist agenda to change our culture and I hate them for it.
I guess you do.
Honestly, I dont think I ever changed a behavior based on a movie. One of the problems I had in the one film class I took in college is I never “got the deep message.” I was always a “cigar is a cigar” movie watcher. I was able to fake it enough to get a “B.”
I am more taken in by clever dialog and good cinematography. Both are in short supply these days.
