Hollywood Bombs at the Political Box Office

The writers script or screenplay will often determine the success or failure of a movie. Studios are naturally looking for a well paced story line with a good plot, perhaps some action, suspense or comedic elements, pristine character development along with a terrific ending. While this does not ensure ultimate success with the audience, it does however start to stack the deck in favor of the films investors. Couple this formula with an exceptional marketing strategy and you could have a box office bonanza on your hands. Hollywood has made it blatantly clear that a democrat in the white house is their definition of the perfect ending.

They have depicted the villains in their social drama as the Republican party. Since most movies are fictional and encourage limitless boundaries in the writing process, Hollywood has given itself the right of artistic license when interpreting the political landscape. They somehow feel it's their first amendment duty to aid the American voter to see things their way rather than trusting free and independent evaluation.

We should always applaud the efforts of people to espouse their political beliefs, regardless of party loyalties or philosophies. But somehow the elite and power brokers of Hollywood do not trust the American voters and so they would rather instill a highly organized movement designed to push the social agenda by abusing their sphere of influence. They do so mainly with coordinating enormous sums of money simply because they can. Although they attempt to hide behind the facade of social reasoning, their masks have been removed far to early to save this movie.

Regardless of the outcome of this upcoming election, Hollywood has made it clear they will do whatever they can and by whatever means possible to ensure a Democrat in the white House. My concern as an average American is since Hollywood insists on playing a major role in the election, what part are they currently auditioning for in this newly elected socialist government? Make no mistake, they are rolling out billions (yes....billions) of dollars and expecting a large return on their investment.

Although they are loud and powerful, they are still the minority when it comes to the light of truth in this country. Decency, respect, integrity and freedom are words that you will not find in their screenplay. They would much rather concentrate on lies, deceit, assassination of character and bigotry. Their research must show that this is the way to line the box office. The problem is most people can tell the difference between reality and fiction. After all, Hollywood always tries to make it seem real even though we know it's not.
