Have you noticed how much of Hollywood is preoccupied with thoughts of God?That is about as blindingly stupid an opening as you can hope for, but Maggie has hit upon a chilling thought: just how many of these awful liberal elites are out there?
"Life of Pi" is the latest example of a movie with essentially religious themes.
Artists in a postmodern culture are thinking about the relationship between story and truth. Even the movie "Lincoln" is organized around the idea that false narratives can serve the greater good in politics. When the people are bad, the politician must lie or mislead to serve the good.
It's rather discomfiting to see so many liberal elites embrace this movie, isn't it?
Let us ask Professor JanusNode:

"Cloud Atlas" is one of an increasing number of films I would call "religious porn."
Think for a moment about the relationship between that little god Eros and standard porn.
I am gratified to see how many of those elites I belong to.
ReplyDeleteThe orb-appreciating elite didn't make the list???

If there was never a Good Samaritan why help people?
ReplyDeleteWhy do they only ever speak of the liberal elite? What about the vast population of liberal commoners shuffling around in the dust, drinking their lattes on the way to a baggage handling job at the St. Louis airport?
ReplyDeleteWhat, the moochers?
ReplyDeleteWhat about those of us who eat our arugula with a side of Twinkie? Will no one think of us?

ReplyDeleteI am skeptical about the number of damp seats in the cinemas resulting from watching Cloud Atlas.
I realise that Ms Gallagher's understanding of the words "religious", "porn" and "increasing" probably has little connection to their common usage.
