Movies are movies, and I don't think any of them are going to hurt the moral fiber of America and all that nonsense.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
If movies are causing moral decay, then crime ought to be going up, but crime is going down.
Even I haven't downed enough L.A. Kool-Aid to believe that somehow Hollywood movies are an overt instrument of morality.
I don't think movies are the reason why this violence exists, I think it's going to happen whether movies are there or not.
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.
It's not that there is a terrible morality in Hollywood. I think there isn't any. There isn't any, by and large.
Hollywood films have become a cesspool of formula and it's up to us to try to change it... I feel like a preacher! But it's really true. I feel personally responsible for the future of American cinema. Me personally.
The highest grossing films have great, moral messages - not dirty, base themes, so we're trying to get producers to make more of the uplifting movies.
I think as an American society, when we're paying too many taxes or dealing with war, we don't want to see sad things at the movies.
Good action films - not crap, but good action films - are really morality plays. They deal in modern, mythic culture.
I have to admit that when I watch a movie in which there is no moral context for the violence - I find that offensive. I think that's potentially damaging to society.
