This may sound a little strange but one of the best movies that savaged the liberal establishment was Bullworth!Yes,Yes,I know Beatty came from the Far Left with this movie but it was a right on satire of the Clinton-Gore-Boxer limo liberals who go slumming for votes at black churches but really have nothing but contempt for the subjects of their pandering.
I think the real problem with modern media is the dumbing down to the lowest common denominator.Back in 1977,Fred Silverman of ABC made his famous statement that network TV was tailored to a "seventh grade mentality".
Another peeve of mine are these shows about"rebel"priests who get into trouble challenging orthodox dogma.A REAL daring show would be about a priest who was an avid DEFENDER of traditional Catholic values and went against the humanist liberal segment of the faith.THAT I would love to see.
In a way, all films which seek to comfort the audience are politically correct, which is true today more than ever before, as multiple plot twists are filmed and then tested for approval in front of guinea pig audiences before the final cut is made. It didn't used to be that way, but then, cinema as art is dying, giving way to synthetic products no different from musical "products" or from toothpaste and toilet paper.
But no studio in this country will finance a movie today that attempts to challenge in a major way what we refer to as conventional wisdom. In the old days of Hollywood, there were genres and subgenres that could do that and find audiences, even if they seldom produced blockbusters. Well, there are actually some independent films occasionally that try.
