Or, more precisely, "They don’t want to sell “culture” they desensitized the country to the most immoral things possible."

Have you noticed how much filth there is in old Hollywood movies before the sexual revolution of the 1960s?

It was bbrazenly out, but we and our parents were too naive to figure it out.

Later, we became desensitized.

Every present day filth in the media was there since we were kids. Pedophile delights. Sadistic delights and many others. Pervs enjoyed at our expense.

I will not name names, but some major screen names from my childhood and adolescent days make me puke when I attempt to watch them today.

I feel abused.

Kenneth Anger was an eye opener for me - I figured what Hollywood/TV was really feeding us all these years.

HUNH?

What are you talking about? The movies pre the late 1960s span many decades, with varying degrees of code regulations. There was no "filth", hidden in plain sight, as you claim, in the movies from the mid '30s into the mid '60s.

By all accounts, 1939 is hailed as the pinnacle of movie output, with the likes of "GONE WITH THE WIND", "DARK VICTORY", "THE WIZARD OF OZ", "GOODBYE MR.CHIPS", "THE STORY OF VERNON AND IRENE CASTLE, and "THE WOMEN", to name but a few released that year. None of those films pushed "filth".

There were films with adult subject matter, which children did go to see. Films such as "THE MAN IN THE GRAY SUIT", "A GENTLEMAN'S AGREEMENT", and "ON THE WATERFRONT", from the 1950s, were hardly movies which children would grasp the meaning of, as all dealt with would bore the average child to tears. Yet, such films were well done and of interest to adults. Again, no filth pushing, no "desensitizing" either.

Heck, even such great mid '60s movies, such as "BAREFOOT IN THE PARK", "CAT BALLOU", "THE ILLUSTRATED MAN", "THE ODD COUPLE", and "THE LION IN WINTER" hardly fit your scenario either.
