"Woke" movies


"Woke" movies have been around forever. The problem normal people have with them today is that it SEEMS like every movie at the movie theater (and because of COVID, there's not a lot, in case you haven't noticed--they want us at home, on our couches, watching their crap on a streaming service) is "woke," meaning, it's intention is to first lecture and THEN entertain. The average person HATES this kind of storytelling. People used to tolerate stuff like Billy Jack because, while it lectured about bigotry, it was, first and foremost, entertaining. This is the lesson modern Hollywood needs to learn. I look at the movie listings for the only theater in my town and I want to vomit. Nothing looks appealing.

Yes, 100% correct. It's one reason I only go to see old movies in theater these days.
