Hollywood is factor in current situation in U.S.

-

With my not having taken in a movie in some time, while in town the other day, I figured I would attend one within the time frame I had to spend.

The movie I chose I assumed may have been a western. Don’t ask me why I thought that, and know that I just did.

The theater was packed with mostly adults, and among them I would tend to believe there were many who do not miss church on Sunday.

I could not believe the simulated sex acts nor the filthy language applied throughout the entire film, nor the on-screen killings.

By the way, these are the same movies that parents often bring their small children to view.

How does a parent today bring up a child of good morals when these are the types of films being produced? God help Hollywood, I say, when a person of decency sees as to what it has to offer.

I’ve heard some parents say that their child can handle what’s being shown, being that it’s all fake. But what about the ones who are being taught that wrong is right?

When it comes to the violence we are seeing today in our society, including these school killings, don’t think for a minute that Hollywood isn’t a big factor in regards to what’s taking place across our land.

Who’s to blame for the behavior we are seeing today among hundreds of disturbed children, you ask? Know that it’s the parents who have accepted things such as this as being the norm, and it is they who will someday be held accountabl­e.

Hollywood today operates without a conscience, where movies are seldom uplifting, but rather made to destroy.

Even when it comes to what many view on television today, when you see all the cop shows, and the programs where the viewers see body after body being placed in the back of a hearse. It really points to what we’ve become. JIMMY LUHM Yuma
