Look Who Isn't Talking

A filmmaker is murdered, and Hollywood loudmouths say nothing.

One of the reasons that I, and many other people, don't go to the theatre to see most of today's films is because of the overwhelming kulturesmog of political correctness which has infected Hollywood over the years. While some decent films still get made, they tend to be the exception rather that the rule. Bridget Johnson takes a look at politically correct Hollywood in the context of the recent murder of Theo van Gogh and asks why we get only a deafening silence? And it is political correctness which is the explanation. But things may be changing. As audiences stay away from theatres in droves and box office numbers are down, a new generation of filmmakers who are less in thrall to the whims of the Angry Left and their culture of conformity is gaining ground. If a new Hollywood gets a chance, it will produce films which provide an alternative for audiences who have become tired of the same old "evil Republicans, evil Military, good liberal" propaganda with which we have all become so familiar. Imagine hearing stories which actually take ideas seriously and have some respect for the concepts of good and evil that most of us recognize. Why, they might even start selling tickets again.
