You really have to admit that the 80s was a great time for movies. Great, fun movies you could watch that didnt deal with the political world unless they were ultra patriotic, i.e. Red Dawn. The US against the bad guys. It really was almost a carefree time.
They say Politics is downstream of Culture, but that’s only after politics has stocked the river with asian carp and hydrilla to harvest downstream, things that totally transform the original cultural habitat. If you speed up music, film, art over the last 20 years, you can actually witness the planting and hyper-fertilization/feeding of the destructive species.
Some states whose lakes and rivers which are overtaken by aggressive species just ‘kill’ the water body and start the biosphere all over from scratch.
