Glenn Powell and his co-star Zach Woods claimed that their latest film, How To Make A Killing, is all about glorifying murdering people because they are wealthy.
I’m getting sick and tired of seeing promotion material(and in the movies themselves) glorifying violence and murder. This crap is why Radical Leftists have started becoming mindless, heartless Goblins.
Here’s the Hollywood value system – or at least, one side of it – in a nutshell:
"Moral transgressions are all okay, as long as we are the ones who are doing it.
Moral transgressions are all okay, as long as the victims of such transgressions are people we don’t like.
When our enemies commit the same types of transgressions that we do, we’ll condemn them using a value system that we ourselves do not believe in."
This stuff has been sprinkled throughout film and TV since the late 1960s, and it’s become so normalized over the decades that it’s invisible to most Normies.
Saw it last night. From my perspective it was all about evil people, crazy evil people (lots of overlap), how a basically OK person can choose to become evil and persist in his bad choices like walking down a staircase to hell (I honestly think about that scene in Angel Heart all the time in this context) instead of STOPPING when given a chance - given examples of genuine loving goodness - and how much evil people damage the innocents around them. Can't say I liked it enough to see it again but it was interesting. It was clear to me it was supposed to be fun and wish fulfillment on some level but it wasn't funny or clever enough to make you (well, make me) try on that mindset for fun. The ending was absolutely "you made your bed now lie in it" perfect - but again - not really good enough to see twice, not even if you have AMC Stubs ;-)
