Media Terrified Trump Will Bring Back “Male-Driven Movies With Tough, Traditional, Courageous, Confident Heroes”.
Front Page Magazine ^ | November 25, 2025 | Daniel Greenfield

Who wants to see that?

Oh no, perish the thought. We can’t possibly lose our current action movie landscape in which painfully diverse casts including 5’2 girl bosses defeat entire armies using the power of special effects while delivering quips originating from a now MeToo’d writer who wrote them for a teenage girl show before infecting Marvel with his brand of dialogue.

They’re so popular that movie theaters are standing empty.

So you can see why Semafor’s story about Trump impacting the culture is set to strike terror into the hearts of wokes everywhere.

But now Larry Ellison, one of Trump’s most prominent financial supporters, owns a second-tier studio, Paramount, and is on the cusp of taking control of the great Warner legacy, with the giant library and sprawling production that come with it.

The film producer Dallas Sonnier predicts “a wave of classically male-driven movies with mentally tough, traditional, courageous, confident heroes. Maybe even a tad cocky, but dedicated to honor and duty. Plus, of course, a few explosions, gun battles, helicopters, fistfights, and car chases!”

Classically male-driven movies with mentally tough, traditional, courageous, confident heroes. Who wants to see that?

In the real world though, it takes a lot to turn a culture around, and Hollywood has been overrun with people pushing wokeness as second nature. That’s not just going to away no matter who owns a studio because personnel is policy. And even if Ellison controls both Paramount and Warners (there’s still a big ‘If’ there), those are grand classical names with some compelling IP, but they have a fraction of the money to throw at productions that Netflix and Amazon do. And Netflix and Amazon want wokeness. That means the old studios will deliver it if they want that...

AI will be required to create the male leads. Hollywood has no one capable of filling the role.

"Deliverance" is 53 years old.

And just as good now as it was then.

Yes. America needs more “Lonesome Dove”, “Tombstone”, and “Back to Bataan”, and less “Wicked” and “Snow White” reboots.

Well, to be truthful, I am a little tired of hero chicks flying through the air with swords. Kill Bill destroyed the movies.

“Mentally tough, traditional, courageous, confident hero. Maybe even a tad cocky, but dedicated to honor and duty.”

That’s the normal American male.

Trump can't “bring back” anything.
Trump doesn't own movie studios or write movie plots.
The markets will decide what movies are made.
Currently, a lot of movies are bombing at the box office.
Change will come one way or another and in a couple of years, plenty of AI movies will be made.

In my humble opinion, most of the best American movies were made in the 30s, 40s and 50’s.
My top movie actors are mostly from that period.
Beauty of it is, most of those movies are out of licensee, so you can watch them for free online.

The insane left bemoans it like that is a bad thing. And they cry to their therapist that there are no men that want to offer them stability and protection. Their lonely, childless friend encourages the mental disease with a 'you go girl'....wonder why they are so miserable.

The new True Grit wasn’t bad but this scene is the best.

I'm not opposed to "girl bosses" if the movie is done right.

Jennifer Lawrence did great in the Hunger Games.
