Introduction thought

Film today represents a variety of different themes and plots; most vary between a clear distrust of politicians and large corporations (or authority). These films signify distaste for the Bush administration, but how will film change with the present administration. We will not see a changed in film until film is written in this new light. When this time comes, what will they see? Will they see a large government in bed with large corporations? Will they see politicians lying and passing blame? Only time will tell.
Time will tell if the Obama administration changes the thoughts and fears of the American people. This will be evident in the overall conclusion of films. If the belief in change is strong and evident, film will begin to represent an optimistic outlook. If trust in government is re-ignited, this again will be evident in film. The hero will not struggle with right and wrong, or varying shades of gray, he will succeed with heroic and just intentions just as he did in the fifties.
As we move into the future, exam how film represents this struggle. Many heroes do not accept their position as the protagonist. Many of them consider their own safety on a list of pros and cons before they consider the just act they are presented with. And thus begins this new blog. Stay tuned for weekly installments. Remember these thoughts are often abstract, some are even fleeting. They are designed to make you think about the era in which you live. If nothing else, inform you that you’re fears and aspirations effect everything around you. The political climate is represented in everything. Do you choose to see it? Or do you choose to ignore it?
