Even I haven't downed enough L.A. Kool-Aid to believe that somehow Hollywood movies are an overt instrument of morality.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
It's not that there is a terrible morality in Hollywood. I think there isn't any. There isn't any, by and large.
Movies are movies, and I don't think any of them are going to hurt the moral fiber of America and all that nonsense.
Good action films - not crap, but good action films - are really morality plays. They deal in modern, mythic culture.
I don't like movies that are morally simple.
I got completely fed up with that Hollywood blockbuster mentality. I couldn't take it seriously any longer.
I do think the moral line you walk all the time about putting something in for the sake of the film and not being affected by people's lives is a very tough one.
I tend to think of action movies as exuberant morality plays in which good triumphs over evil.
If the American public is so into morality in movies, why don't they throw more of their disposable income at religious-themed entertainment? For every 'Passion of the Christ,' there's a 'Fireproof' that comes and goes with no notice.
I don't like movies that are trying to preach and trying to tell you how to feel.
I learned a lot about morality from fiction, from movies.
