		<description><![CDATA[The problem, in my mind, seems to be that to be a conservative is already a more sophisticated plank than knee jerk liberalism -- many, if not most, of those who self identify as conservative have in the past been libs themselves or at least been exposed to good doses of liberalism in their lives and had made a decision at some point to CHOOSE what they considered the superior option, that of conservatism.


As such, there is some level of mental gymnastics required, above and beyond that which liberals are required to engage in when watching a movie, namely a mental understanding that what one is witnessing is the writer&#039;s or director&#039;s opinion, and that that opinion paints or sways the film a certain way.


I too abhor how the right has largely ceded the arts to the left -- I wish to one day have the wealth to throw my hat into the ring and produce some fine films that happen to be right leaning.  I think the trick is not to fight the left, anytime you fight against the other viewpoint, you end up leaving out a good bit of critical elements that you happen to have in common with the other view.  Thus, too often, conservative conscious films go overboard in being earnestly Christian or conservative message heavy.


Why not just make good films, but at key points insert an inflection point that is not what is expected based on standard liberal fare?  In that sense, a film like JUNO (I do not know the political leanings of the creators) where the protagonist CHOOSES to keep her baby, is already engaging in conservative behaviors, but nobody is beaten over the head with this message.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#039;s called capitalism.  People like what they are paying for and therefore the majority of media consumers like these movies and TV.  remember how well Atlas Shrugged sold? It&#039;s a business.. That is all it is... Show business with huge profits.  Even better it is basically owned and run by 6 major media companies... Fortune 500..  The stuff conservative hold up as symbols of american exceptionalism.  If conservatives had an idea that sold other than fear they might be able to get shows and movies made.  People don&#039;t buy ideology they don&#039;t like.

It&#039;s a stupid thought, a false dichotomy and you always have Atlas Shrugged and the Left Behind Series.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I occasionally review TV series. Thanks to Netflix, I was able to watch both versions of &quot;House of Cards.&quot; The British version was a &quot;take down&quot; of Margaret Thatcher and her Tory Party, penned by Michael Dobbs, a former Thatcher protégé who had an acrimonious parting with her and so wrote a pair of vindictive novels on which the series was based. Season I of the Kevin Spacey version of the series baffles me, because it seems intent on vilifying the Democrats (justifiably so, since every major character and villain in it is a Democrat or an amoral power-luster), and Spacey is a notorious Democrat. I just finished watching two seasons of &quot;Revenge,&quot; and endured all 44 episodes and understood early on that it was anti-business and anti-wealth. Season II of the Spacey series will be interesting when it debuts in February.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&quot;Movies make you liberal&quot; - not to mention TV ... that&#039;s no news, it&#039;s started a long time ago!


But at least, at the beginning  the indoctrination was more subtle and the show or the movie may have had a certain quality. Now the indoctrination is gross and the quality non-existent... it&#039;s trash and more trash. Which is why TV audiences are shrinking and morons are the only ones still going to the movies. 


Watching movies, TV shows or &quot;the news&quot; manufactured as per Mr. George Soros&#039; criteria presents no interest whatsoever. His seizure of the american media may have benefited Mr. Obama, but it sure killed the cinematographic art and it plunged Hollywood into a deep coma.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A recurring theme on what should have long ago been grasped and put to use by conservatives. But there&#039;s a problem and that&#039;s the Hollywood culture that discriminates against and often demeans conservative actors, writers, producers and directors who are at present a minority fringe. How long has it been? The quintessential villains in the barrage of standard fare emanating from Hollywood are the &quot;filthy&quot; rich, corrupt corporations, police, CIA, FBI and mostly republican politicians committing all sorts of vile, inhuman crimes against humanity to support their evil intentions. It&#039;s reminiscent of an angry teenagers rebellion against all forms of &quot;oppressive&quot; authority and it&#039;s been thrown at the public for decades in the guise of enlightenment and intellectual revelation; deep, thoughtful and insightful. Actually intellectually bankrupt at best if not downright devious, misleading misinformation and agitprop though perhaps entertaining and therein lies the problem. The opinions of audiences are not reinforced or swayed by blatant lies or obviously false and phony narratives. They have to be entertained to be convinced that their closely held beliefs might be flawed.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Before this study by New Leftist, Tod Adkin, Don Feder warned that movies are more dangerous than the neo Communist press in getting people to vote Democratic.  Perhaps, for this reason, one must heed Ben Shapiro&#039;s admonition that Conservatives need to be screenwriters and producers in addition to engineers and lawyers (or words to that effect from Ben Shapiro).]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This has to be most poorly thought-out article I&#039;ve read in some time.  It&#039;s not just the &quot;Gotcha!&quot; use of a study of dubious methodology.  It&#039;s the cherry-picked examples of movies that don&#039;t even have covert much less &quot;overt&quot; political messages -- and the absurd view that people are somehow brainwashed by seeing them.  So Matt Damon, off-camera, has expressed left-of-center views.  Does that make all of his films &quot;Leftist,&quot; including the &quot;Bourne&quot; series and &quot;Contagion?&quot;   

By the way, the highly acclaimed &quot;Green Zone,&quot; cited by this piece as an box-office bomb (actually, it did close to $100 million worldwide), was directed by Paul Greengrass, the pro-American British filmmaker who also did &quot;United 93&quot; and, more recently, &quot;Captain Phillips.&quot;  Neither is what any sane person would call &quot;Leftist.&quot;]]></description>
