I am really glad about this. The liberal, progressive agenda has thrived on big money from media moguls and movie stars. We had been giving this cultural institution all kinds of money, which they in turn spent against our own better interests as a free people living in a constitutional republic. It's about time that we stopped giving them our money, that we stopped enabling them to bewitch us with their fiction to push their Utopian fantasies on us.
There is no better representative of this 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 allegation from Anthony Rapp, which flowed from the numerous women lining up to single out producer Harvey Weinstein for his repeated and long-term predatory behavior. The actor whom Rapp called out? Kevin Spacey. When and for what? Thirty years ago, when Rapp was a minor, and Kevin Spacey was 26 years. Spacey made a number of unwanted advances toward the boy Rapp, carrying him into Spacey's apartment, then
Spacey issued an immediately press release, 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 was 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 him. 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 of be surprised that such moral duplicity has come flooding out of Spacey's private life and overwhelmed his public persona? Think about "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 he 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. He played a con man who conned law enforcement. How long did Spacey get away with his perverse behaviors and mastermind his way toward getting away with it all?
Then there's "American Beauty."
That film should have been called "American Ugly" or "Le Mal Americain", since the French word "mal" best covers sickness and evil at once. The film was sick, and it was evil. The main character, Lester Burnham played by Spacey, is a bored, empty, repressed suburban father. Right away, we see all the brazen, Freudian Marxist stereotypes. 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 because Father Burnham is sexually attracted to his daughter Jane's best friend Angela, who in turn is a slattern, at least by the way she talks. In one early scene, the father falls into lust with this young girl. Wake up, people: that young lady is a minor. We have a movie released in 1999 which was already glamorizing an adult sleeping with a minor!
Because of his renewed sense of "love" for this young girl, Lester starts exercising, working out, he quits his old job and gets a new job as a cashier at a fast food place. His wife then dives into another set of dalliances with another realtor, they have an affair .. blah, blah, blah.
Now, at the end of the movie, the young girl Angela ends up lying down for him, but admitting that she has never had sex before. Lester backs away from having sex with her, as though his decision not to sleep with her just simply justifies everything before.
But still, folks, what we saw in "American Beauty" was ultimately American Ugly, the moral compass of Hollywood clearly spinning out of control, justifying everything contrary to sound moral order for any stable, strong society. A homosexual couple living down the street from the Burnham family were presented in the film as the only real stable, loving "couple". The army veteran with his dispossessed wife and drug-dealing son was a closet homosexual. The father, the breadwinner in the other family was lusting after minors. The film showcased adultery, mockery of natural marriage and family, and then glorifying the natural yet destructive impulses in human beings.
Is this really high class? This is Artistic? Is any element in the film remotely true or in concert with reality? Nope, and in Sadist fashion, this fiction did indeed outline a moral treatise, one of decadence and disdain for what is good in marriage, life, and family.
This one scene encapsulates had warped and twisted Hollywood had become, the "love scene" of an adult with a minor:
What is troubling now is that ONLY NOW do movie goes and Spacey fans look at this scene and comment "this makes my skin crawl." Why didn't it make Hollywood elites and movie house goes sick to their stomachs nearly 20 years ago?!
But hey, the Academy Awards certainly thought this film was a "beauty", and they awarded Spacey the Best Actor Oscar, and the film also won Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Screenplay. "American Beauty" would have entered a privilege class of Academy Award Winners if Annette Benning had won for Best Actress, the film would have been the fourth Big Five movie.
That did not happen, but behold, we saw in this film what would later 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 accusations against him had occurred 13 years prior to winning the Best Actor Oscar. Why is anyone surprised, though? The long history of sexual abuse and assault was CELEBRATED on the Academy Award stage in 2000!
Consider some of the most stirring--and now disturbing--remarks from his acceptance speech:
This is the highlight of my day. I hope it is not all downhill from
here.
Yes, it would go downhill from there. Taking over a theater in London, where he would prey on young men and boys.
To my friends, for pointing out my worst qualities. I know you do it
because you love me. And that's why I loved playing "Lester," because
we got to see all of his worst qualities and we still grew to love him.
No, we do not grow to like this character. He turns into a selfish man-child who seeks to please himself, ruining his family and undermining himself. No.
This
movie to me is all about how any single act from any single person put out of
context is damnable. But the joy of this movie is that it is real beauty. We
found real beauty in this extraordinary script by Sam Mendes -- by Alan Ball.
It feels like he wrote it though, doesn't it?
And Mother, I
don't care what they say about bringing you to award shows. I will always bring
you to award shows because I'm proud of you and I love you. And thank you,
thank you, thank you.
His mother was 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 worldly pre-eminence should not shock anyone, really. If anyone was paying close attention, it all would have been crystal clear. 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.
