So I have noticed a refreshing trend in the glitzy business of show lately:
"You Were Never Really Here" is a film about an Iraq war veteran with severe PTSD and suicidal ideation who finds his calling in tracking down trafficked minor girls and returning them to their family.
He winds up uncovering a pedophile ring headed by a state governor who collects lolitas and our tormented hero kills a lot of pedos and spooks in the process.
"Memory" is a story about an aging hitman with early-onset Alzheimer's, who is contracted to kill a young, trafficked teen girl but our hero decides to snuff out the pedophile ring that hired him in stead.
"Message from the king" is a movie about a South African man coming to LA in search of his sister. She is killed by a pedophile ring covering up their tracks to protect a high-ranking politician and a (((movie producer))). Our hero ends up killing everyone connected to the pedophile ring.
Now, one is a coincidence, but three is a distinct trend worth noticing.
Are we seeing a shift in the Overton window in popular culture? Is Hollywood, dare I say it, 'our guys' now?
(I know, I know, that last sentence is a bit of a stretch, but something is definitely happening here...)
I read it as two things:
Sure, could absolutely be the case.
But you have to admit it's a pretty stark contrast to "Cuties", no?
I don't trust it one bit. Here we have three sets of money boys saying yes we'll finance an anti pedo themed film. In a town saturated with pedo execs. I don't buy that for one moment as an honest improvement, it smells like a game.
Not really....it's called portfolio diversification
