Holly Wood - Sodom and Gomorrah

Holly Wood plays a vital role in influencing young people; shaping public perception about issues. They create movies that demonize, or attack the norms of societies. Take for instance the awards that are given to actors and actresses every year. The best ones turned out to be those that challenge public perception on what is a good, or acceptable, and what is bad. And it works. Holly Wood, in my opinion, contributes tremendously to the demographic changes we've seen today. It means a different approach to things many Americans hold dear such as family, marriage, and morality.
The movie "Broke Back Mountain" is a perverted story about two cowboys secret love life and the things they endure in this secret affair. The movie went on to win more than seventy awards and fifty more nominations. And sat on the top of the Box-office for a while. The movie did extremely well in blue Liberal states, but met tremendous criticism from conservative states such as Utah. The turn out to watch this gay movie exceeded the expectation of the directors, producers, and even advocates of samesex marriage throughout the country and the world.The reviews of the movie were stunning.


But when movies that glorify the might of the US special forces, especially Navy Seals, come out, Liberals and Holly Wood critics trash them. "Act of Valor" gave America a lot of reasons to celebrate, but nope, the critics centered on the inability of the characters in the movie (most of them real active special ops) to put on a perfect show. This is a review by someone from screenrant.com, trashing it:
"Unfortunately, while Act of Valor succeeds as a love letter to servicemen, military families, and anyone who has ever sacrificed for the good of their country, the film itself, from a cinematic standpoint, is a disjointed mishmash of gripping behind-the-scenes details and compelling combat sequences, paired with awkward performances and a generic (as well as jumbled) terrorist storyline. There’s absolutely no doubt that moviegoers who have been touched by military service in one way or another will likely connect with the characters and situations portrayed in the film; however, for film fans and cinephiles looking for a gritty military ops movie, there are a number of shortcomings that will undermine the Act of Valor‘s impact.

Then the Holly Wood leftwing military haters took to the social media to trash the movie; calling it a "propaganda film" for the US military. Off course if someone produced a military movie of two gay-men kissing in the battlefields, he/she would be showered with love and awards by this Liberal Holly Wood leftists.
Despite the huge turn out, and topping the box office in its opening week, critics weren't giving the directors a break. They bombarded the media, the social media, and the airwaves poking fun of the movie, although the high level of energy in this movie was such that only Navy Seals could act them out. Normal actors, even Tom Cruise, would not achieve the high level of physical demands needed for the sets of this movie.
In fact, making movies nowadays are aimed at indoctrination and tarnishing of other people's reputation. Presidential candidates spent hundreds of millions of dollars on under five minutes snippets or clips put together to convey a message; most of the time negative message!
