Tinseltown is no longer glittering.
The movie industry was already foundering because of technological advances in
media and entertainment. The latest string of flops pouring out of the studios has
signaled that Hollywood's malaise is bad, really bad this time. But it’s good
for us. The liberal, progressive agenda thrived on big money from media moguls
and movie stars. Moviegoers were funding this institution, which invested in
candidates and causes against our freedom, our traditional values, our constitution,
and our Judeo-Christian culture.
There is no better
representative of Hollywood’s epic down fall than Kevin Spacey. This actor
would sing, dance, and take on stage and screen in all kinds of acting
exploits. He had earned two Academy awards--Best Supporting Actor in The Usual Suspects; Best Actor in American Beauty--then became Artistic
Director for the Old Vic Theater. He had quite a repertoire.
Then came the allegations
of child molestation from Anthony Rapp, which followed the numerous women
lining up to single out producer Harvey Weinstein for his repeated and
long-term predatory behavior.
Spacey issued a press
release immediately, apologizing for these acts which he claims that he had
never done, but if he had done them, he was probably drunk at the time--oh, and
he had been bisexual and now decided to come out as a gay man. Yes, Kevin tried
to cover up for past pedophilia perversion by coming out of the closet.
The moral swamp of
sexual degeneracy is getting worse for Spacey. More actors are coming forward
announcing that he had made numerous unwanted advances toward them. Young men
who were minors are now recounting more devastating sexual assaults.
The consequences have
been swift and telling. Spacey has lost his Netflix miniseries "House of
Cards", which has folded up instead of going into its sixth season. The
Emmy Awards was going to have a tribute for him, but that has been cancelled.
There was even talk about another extravaganza on his behalf at the Academy Awards.
All of that has fallen
away.
Speaking of Academy
Awards ... should anyone be surprised that his private life has overwhelmed his
public persona with such duplicity? In The
Usual Suspects, he played a
down-and-out cerebral palsy stooge narrating a crime. The detective mocked him,
talked down to him, but suspected him of nothing more than being a big nothing.
Turns out at the end
that Spacey’s character was the mastermind for the whole crime, and every
aspect of the crime scene he narrated, he had drawn from objects and items in
the detective's office. It was a brilliant tour de force for Spacey: a con man
who conned law enforcement.
Consider how long Spacey
the actor got away with his perverse behavior and masterminded his way toward
getting away with it?
Then there's American Beauty.
The main character,
Lester Burnham played by Spacey, is a bored, empty, repressed suburban father.
Right away, all the brazen, Freudian Marxist stereotypes come to the forefront.
Married life is bad, sexual license is good. People should be able to sleep
with whomever they want to, and there is nothing wrong with that.
An explicit example of
this occurs when Father Burnham sexually pursues his daughter Jane's best
friend Angela. In an early scene, the father falls into lust with this young
girl during a cheerleader performance. As early as 1999, the movie industry was
glamorizing an adult sleeping with a minor!
That film should have
been called "American Ugly". It revealed Hollywood’s broken moral
compass spinning out of control, justifying everything contrary to sound moral
order. A homosexual couple living down the street from the Burnham family was
presented as the only real stable, loving "couple". The army veteran next
door (with mentally ill wife and drug-dealing son) was a closet homosexual. The
film showcased adultery, mockery of natural marriage and family, and then
glorified the natural yet destructive impulses in human beings.
Is this truly high class
or artistic? Did this film remotely reflect reality in any true fashion? Nope, but
in Sadistic fashion, this fiction outlined a moral treatise, one of decadence
and disdain as acceptable as long as people feel “free” or feel good.
What is troubling now is
that ONLY
NOW do movie goers and Spacey fans look at this scene and comment "This makes my skin crawl." Why didn't this adult-minor lust make
Hollywood elites sick to their stomachs 20 years ago?! Nevertheless,
Hollywood’s left-wing elites thought this film was a "beauty", and
they awarded Spacey the Best Actor Oscar. The film also won Best Picture, Best Director,
and Best Screenplay.
Today, lo and behold, we
now see in this film what has burst forth in Spacey's real life for everyone to
see. He had perversions within him, which had been spilling out for quite some
time. The first accusations against him had occurred 13 years prior to winning
his second Oscar. Should we be surprised as this long history? Not if we
recognize the fact that Spacey’s enabling peers was celebrating sexual abuse
and perversion on that stage. His acceptance speech highlighted significant
premonitions of what we have learned. His
first line? “This is the highlight of my day. I hope it
is not all downhill from here.”
Indeed.
It would go downhill
from there. His work titled toward less popular fare. He took over artistic
direction in a London theater, where he would prey on young men and boys. He
would then claim in his speech that viewers would see the good in Lester, even
though he did so much. He thanks his
mother for being his date--even then, people suspected that he was gay. Notice
also that Spacey never mentioned his father, who was an abusive Nazi,
literally.
Spacey's fall from Glitteratti
pre-eminence should not shock us, ultimately. How could anyone look at trash
like "American Beauty" and call it award-winning? Hollywood, and the
same coven of creeps and greedy moguls enabled and covered up for Spacey's
behavior for decades to follow.
Books, plays & movies are entertainment. Is it wrong for an audience to escape its moral compass to a world of fiction? Should we excommunicate the actors & writers based on allegations? Stay tuned for schools to ban: Coleridge, a druggie; Shakespeare, who deserted his family; Poe, a drunk who married his very young cousin.

ReplyDeleteWe are on the way to excommunicating all who've strayed from what we now see as politically correct in their PERSONAL life. Say goodbye to Shakespeare & Poe. They are writers & actors, not paragrims of moral behavior.
