Reckless Traveler by Walter Rhein5/13/2023 Although these films are great entertainment, particularly for munching on popcorn in an air-conditioned theater on a hot summer day, these films leave no lasting impression or engage in any controversial topics.Įven more artistic films from major studios are relatively conservative. One of the most successful entertainment franchises of our time is the series of films featuring Marvel superheroes. There is the pretense that only the very best scripts are made into films, but you only need peruse titles like ‘Sharknado’ to come to the realization that this isn’t the truth. It is only the independent writer, who does not fear to lose a position of social stature, that is free to anticipate the moral standard of a better world.Įducated people often complain about the quality of film and literature that is widely available. An author who achieves a high standing within the literary community of his or her age, becomes reluctant to examine the existing moral structure. The problem is that challenging the moral perspective of a society is a contentious and therefore hazardous action. In early American history, the concept of slavery fit within this standard, and when Mark Twain challenged the morality of slavery in ‘Huckleberry Finn’ he helped to create the kind of social awareness that eventually moved the moral compass of our whole society. Within every society there is a fairly narrow set of boundaries for what constitutes acceptable moral conduct.
