I think a "good movie" is one that doesn't feel like a movie at all.It is the truth, it is real life on tape.The perfect combination of actors,directors,and especially editors will allow a viewer to forget they're watching rehearsed , pre-written sequences, but rather feel they can emotionally relate to the characters and storyline.Take something away from it , long after the movie ends.This applies to any genre, from comedy to crime-drama.Ive seen movies I have not remembered the next day, or remembered them for the wrong reasons.Sometimes actors that were not trustworthy in thier roles,sometimes bad editing, sometimes even bad hair.A good movie should feel comfortable,human,be smooth to watch...
By instilling endless fear in the hearts of the American people, the government genuinely prefers us on the edge of our seats at all times. In retrospect ,this has been a very planned out and vital governmental policy. The lack of communication in this “democracy” only adds to the constant state of terror no matter what the REAL news stories seem to be. Statistics are routinely inflated, crimes often exaggerated and suspects made out to be the psuedo-black man not far from home. Because of this fear, citizens are less likely to question government motives in things like Racial Profiling, Funding and most importantly ,War. If that man working in your local deli is a danger to you (and of course President Bush wouldn’t lie to you) then there should be no problem with a war that has been compared to the inquisition. As long as the mission is completed it good taste, and does not interfere with wholesome Middle-American life, then all is well ,from sea to shining sea. Fear has turned out to be a very lucrative and reliable policy for The White House. Making issues and people worse than they are in reality is a sure-fire way to get people to obey. It can be depended on in good,as well as war times. Media just so happens to be the best portal for this. There is no faster way to send a taupe terror alert than that local news channel we all tune to see the latest murder or rape. I don't want to hate the messenger , but I feel I've had enough. From an approaching two inch snow storm that is shown like a coming apocalypse, ready to wipe out everything in it’s way, to a swarm of killer sharks coming to attack swimmers on the Long Island shoreline, I truly wait for the day newscasters will allow our American people to just...relax.
