Hollywood's screenplay writers and directors, producers and
financiers have a genius for spreading evil, dehumanising men and
women.
Their superior expertise is most apparent in their attempts to
modulate the human instinct for violence and turn a lot of males
into savage killers. Every conservative critic of Hollywood has
remarked so many times that it has become a cliche in American
society: Hollywood productions are much too violent. Yes, they
are. Hollywood is pathologically obsessed with violence. The anti-
culture creative people of Hollywood fill the moving pictures
with so many killings so many murders, so many personal gain
killings and so many thrill killings that a typical American
"sees" more murders committed on TV in one day than what actually
take place in morally disciplined Japan in 30 years. Check the
statistics. America's three principal channels show 400-700
murders and killings in a week.
Hollywood productions show the deaths and mutilations in close
focus and in graphic detail. Dismembered and headless bodies men
and women with their eyes gouged; women with their throats slit
and upper body slashed; bodies riddled with bullets and bodies
with brains spilling out-all these are presented vividly. For
Hollywood's anarchists. the sight of blood. body parts and
viscera do not seem to bring on nausea but ecstatic glee.
Violent guys on the Hollywood screens murder casually, a leer
spread on their face, a sneering remark on the lips. Hollywood
TV/movies never convey the idea that the impulse to violence
(that is not in self-defence) must be resisted with all the will
power one possesses, that violence is not a "sport" that is so
much fun. The anti-moral scriptwriters and directors make the act
of killing another human being appear so intensely thrilling (for
the killer), playing down the victim's agony, and taking out the
horror of the event. Murders and killings are necessities in
Hollywood-created reality.
Violent images that the Hollywood movies and TV shows are full of
erase, over time, the internal inhibitions most normal
individuals have against killing a fellow human being. The
Hollywood shows make it easy for a lot of males to kill-for the
thrill of it, or for business advantage, or as an impulsive
conclusion to a minor conflict. Hollywood has killed Americans'
collective consciousness with so many images of cruelty and cruel
killings that Americans, as a people, white or black, have become
extremely aggressive and unbelievably brutal.
Images of death and mutilation filling the minds of passive
viewers also wither away over time the sensibility to appreciate
the beautiful and the sublime, the refined and the romantic. For
violent movie fans' thinking becomes morbid; their interest turns
macabre. The images of blood and butchery is the most effective
instrument in the hands of Hollywood nihilists leftists to
dehumanise individuals.
The American (and British) "rock music", carries on Hollywood's
war on human goodness. (In America the same type of people who
are in the movie and TV entertainment business are also in the
pop music business.) Take the "music" shows on cable TV in
America (also shown on the satellite TV channels in India). As
the "music" is played images flash in the background. The images
are surreal, weird, diabolical, anarchic and violent. The
"music" on Rock Music CDs and tapes doesn't exactly fill the
listener's mind with pleasure of the most refined kind. The
hypnotic beat and the words are calculated to dehumanise the
listeners/ viewers of the performance filled as the music is with
exhortations to cruelty, and killing; bestiality and cannibalism;
satanism and necrophilia; torturing women and rape; violence and
sadism; destruction of beautiful objects and desecration of
religious symbols; sexual perversions of assorted types; travesty
of family relationships and teenage suicide. Indian parents
should try to follow the lyrics in the imported rock music CDs,
videos and tapes. Creators of the rock music shows (especially
the so-called heavy metal variety) almost always stimulate the
worst animal instincts and generate the most terrific destructive
impulses in young people-a lot of who feel encouraged to live the
exhortations.
The "music" channel shows made in India especially for the Indian
audience are against anything beautiful, sacred, idealistic and
valuable in our Hindustani Culture. These programmes do not
infuse in the viewer a refined taste in art and life, but induce
all addition to the gross and the vulgar, the violent and the
ugly, the sick and the nauseating. How do Hollywood's
cynics/Leftists destroy individuals humanity? Negative values
are "pushed" with style and verve-often with great elegance to
disguise the loathsome characteristic of the lesson being taught.
Ordinary men and women because of their ignorance of high culture
and the arts, the humanities and admirable humanistic values, are
mesmerised by the sophisticated way in which the sights of
depravity and destruction are presented.
To spread their mental pathologies as everyone's values,
Hollywood's demented producers not only glorify their most
objectionable messages, but repeat their visual tutorials in evil
endlessly.
It becomes difficult after a while for a regular viewer of
Hollywood TV shows and movies to "see" beyond the anti-moral
themes and messages. The viewer begins to see the Hollywood
alues" as real and desirable. The process is ineffable,
subliminal. Individual men and women don't realise that Hollywood
is changing them. Soon enough, their preferences and tastes,
values and attitudes change for the worse - especially if they
are young in years.
Hollywood's rich and powerful know what their productions are
doing to the American and European (and now Asian) societies.
Yet, they want to keep producing violent and amoral shows.
Doesn't that prove they are anti-moral or -at least-unforgivably
selfish?
If Hollywood's producers and financiers were just pragmatic
businessmen giving the public what it wants, they would not get
so hysterical against conservative moralists who sometimes try to
warn the American public about Hollywood's hidden agenda of
making society more morally pathological. If most show-business
monopolises in America have been forced to make evil-propagating
movies to satisfy the ordinary people's bad taste, they would
welcome an improvement in public taste-and even government
legislation - that would prevent them from presenting certain
types of decadent images/stories. But they don't. Check behind
the polite/cheerful demeanour of an American male or female,
you'll discover most of the Hollywood values in their repulsive
splendour. So many of the Hollywood movies and so much of the
Hollywood TV is available in India. We also have the faithful
domestic imitation of Hollywood movies and TV shows. There is no
cultural tradition on earth more imaginative and rich, vigorous
yet refined than the ancient Hindu culture. There is nothing more
anti-moral, ugliness obsessed, anarchic and destructive, more in
tune with the worst animal instincts of the human male than the
culture of Hollywood shows.
There is nothing more opposite of the ancient Hindu culture than
the contemporary Hollywood culture. India's traditional culture
is not protected against powerful and almost mathematically
precise assaults night after night from the evil genius of
Hollywood who detest (because of their left-wing ideology) the
high culture of every old civilisation.
It is a demoralising fact that the vast majority of
Indians/Hindus today lack a deep knowledge of the traditional
Indian/ancient Hindu culture and lack a strong cultural pride.
Because of the absent cultural pride and missing cultural
knowledge, Hollywood's (and the Mumbai imitation) images/words
themes/messages will cause the loss of Hindu culture's vigour and
intensity in probably less than a generation. If the foreign
owners of satellite channels keep on beaming Hollywood TV shows
and movies to Indian homes, if Hollywood movies (even the worst
kind) keep coming to Indian cinema halls, then Indian culture
will rot, too. It is time for courageous action.
