Probably starting in the sixties kids were portrayed as the smart ones and adults, particularly dads were shown as stumbling idiots. Quite a change from “Father Knows Best.”
I have not watched a Hollywood movie in over 10 years..
Watched a few old ones that are classics, but nothing new in 10+ years...I have no interest in them or the misfits that direct and produce that shit.
I think people are giving these guys too much credit. The writers always reflect “their world.” The writers and directors of these movies/cartoons are younger, liberal, and disproportionately LGBT. Since they are much more “out” in today’s society, they write through their eyes.
Most parents are younger than us old folks, and they dont seem phased by this stuff either.
I think it’s unfortunate that the younger folks simply don’t know how to write—instead focusing on short videos and “influencers.” Much of this can be blamed on parents who are barely out of their adolescent years and others who are generally absent due to two parents working and children being raised in day care factories.
An hour and 12 minutes video?
Ditto.
Can we get the Cliffs Notes version please?
You still had Family Ties and Mr. Belvedere in the eighties, and even Roseanne, where John Goodman’s role portrayed a slob, not an idiot. Dads were still mostly okay up until the nineties.
Actually, in the early 1960s my brother and I were asking why dads were portrayed as stupid, there were exceptions but most dads were goofy, unlike the real men that we saw during the day.
You must be the only other person in the world, that knows they are Cliffs (with an “s” ) notes.
👍
Both can be true.
Literature often has a missing or cruel father or father figure. Dickens comes to mind. The dads of Shakespeare are not normally great. There are always exceptions.
A reflection of reality or a promotion of an agenda? I think at least sometimes the former.
A good dad is such a powerful thing. We need more of them.
We didn’t have a dad so we paid more attention to the TV version than most kids of the era might have, and while the TV dads were all nice and sweet, they were also clumsy, stupid, and simple, they lacked the seriousness, decisiveness, and even masculinity that we saw in grown men of the time.
Take a chance. Watch Old Henry. Get back to me.
At least watch the trailer on YouTube.
He’s worked in the industry. First games then movies. He’s been deeply involved with “Dreamworks”. He loves Disney and wants them to get away from their strategy of social engineering. They basically are trying to indoctrinate people and it’s very overt to those working with the company. They make LGBT people the “cool” ones and the straight and narrow father type, religious type to be evil. It’s very purposeful, he didn’t like it and that’s why he’s speaking out. Probably would shock most people on this forum. You can watch mins 10-30 to get the most relevant parts. In return for this service please go all in for Trump 2024 :p
As an adult I like and appreciate very well done animation.
The first Shrek movie had some of that, and there was enough heart in it and enough to laugh with.
I walked out of the 2nd Shrek movie.
The character Fiona (Shreks love interest) was getting a gift (i forget the giver and why). The gift turne out to be a thong. To me it wss a disgusting totally out of place thing to put in a movie supposedly made for little kids. That was it. I never saw another Shrek movie after that.
Um, that has been the pagan let’s script for a long time now, albeit much more insistent in messaging.
Women are emotionally strong, independent of anyone, can beat up anyone, and are wise beyond anyone.
Blacks are always the hip, cool ones who exist to make white people, men in particular, look stupid.
Kids exist to show how stupid men, white fathers in particular, are.
All other NPCs are inserted to bolster any and all liberal narrative.
btt
Excellent! Probably also knows about Johns Hopkins! :-)
