For this year's Oscar hopefuls, it's more like opening a vein. Drug addiction, mercy killing, mental illness, genocide, abortion, ill young mothers and borderline alcoholism — these are a few of Oscar's favorite things this year

I don't get it.

Is the author complaining that movies are made with these subjects? If so, pretty stupid.

What's next - complaining because there are books & TV programs that address the same subjects?

Look at the source. It's the Cap Alert mentality. Everything should be all right for young children and should have not have anything even mildly distrubring or upsetting to them.

It's a silly article. The movies of the 60's and 70's addressed real issues as well as churning out the usual popcorn movies. It so happens that most of these issues were shown in a liberal PC view, and that tone has been enforced and continued to the present.

But...so what? There are plenty of movies with various points of view. A movie like "Requiem for a Dream" is probably hated by most people here, yet it is the greatest anti-drug movie ever made.

The fact that these movies address these issues is important to me, and I don't need someone in the movie lecturing me on the "right" view of things. I can see a movie and enjoy it for what it is and ignore the point (propaganda) any liberal tries to slap on it. I don't need a movie to cheerlead for my views--if it's entertaining, I can just ignore the liberal spin its makers put on it.
