| Conservative Creatives: Crafting Films that Effectively Counter the Left Posted: 31 Mar 2022 03:15 PM PDT
A reader on Twitter asked: “what would you suggest a conservative creative do if he wanted to write films instead of novels?”
Starting a parallel cinema scene is becoming an ever-more feasible option for conservatives and dissidents. It's easier and cheaper than ever to make your own movie. An enterprising director could crowdfund a slick little indie film. Professional grade editing software; even high-end hardware like a RED cam, is within a guerrilla production's budget.
The real question is how to craft movies that effectively counter the Cult's message.
Some will argue that right-wing message fic is no different than left-wing message fic, and it's film makers' duty to simply tell a fun story.
This objection misses the point because it assumes that the Death Cult spread its message through heavy-handed propagandizing. That's just the frog finally noticing the water is boiling. Hollywood has been a Death Cult vector since at least the late 60s, yet most people are only being turned off now.
The second mistake that thwarts counterculture art is more common among Conservatives. They likewise start from the false premise that overt message fic is how the Cult delivers its propaganda. Then they rush straight into the equal but opposite error of deliberately making their own message fic.
Both camps fail to understand how the enemy indoctrinated multiple generations without anyone noticing till it was too late. Their current overt skinsuiting is just a victory lap. Hollywood reached this point by using subtle storytelling techniques to erode audiences' defenses.
To understand this method, one need only understand the archetypal trope of the protagonist. This is the character who drives the story by setting out on a quest to achieve a concrete goal against opposition.
Hollywood learned through long trial and error to make the protagonist as likeable and relatable to audiences as possible. The idea is to make audiences identify with the hero.
Nowadays, the studios have turned this approach on its head. The contemporary movie protagonist is an utterly inhuman Mary Sue with no compelling reason to pursue a goal since she's already said to be perfect. Instead, she uses her screen time to deliver a series of lectures on Death Cult pieties.
Again, that is not the conditioning. That is a humiliation ritual meant to rub the remaining fans' noses in it.
The conditioning came before that. And the way it happened was by Hollywood churning out decades of movies wherein heroes whom audiences identified with achieved their goals by acting according to the Death Cult's morals.
That point bears repeating. To bring movie audiences around to your way of thinking, show characters they like being successful by acting in line with your moral standard.
Contrary to what anti-message fic purists say, this method does not have to involve hamfisted preaching. In fact, the subtler the delivery is, the better.
Ironically, the last movies to even halfway subtly counter the Death Cult's conditioning were 80s slasher flicks. Contemporary feminist types love to gripe about how anybody who fornicated or lit up a joint received a death sentence, while only the virginal girl survived.
The slasher genre died out in the early 90s. If you look at teen sex and drug use statistics, both declined from their peak in 1980 and only started rising again in the 90s. That's not to give all the credit for the reduction in degeneracy to slasher flicks, but it's undeniable that those movies exerted considerable influence on the youth culture of the time.
To renew the culture, tell stories with appealing heroes who win using Christian moral principles.

| Watch: “Top Gun: Maverick” Drops an All-New Trailer Posted: 31 Mar 2022 01:15 PM PDT The wait for Paramount’s Top Gun: Maverick has been very long, but the release is finally within sight. A new trailer has been released today, and the newest footage turned our excitement levels up even higher for this movie. Tom Cruise, back as the one and only Maverick, is chasing all sorts of adventures in the sky once again.
Maverick is requested by former rival Tom "Iceman" Kazansky to return to the Navy to lead a new group of pilots. However, Maverick does not want to stand on the sidelines. He wants in on all the action. Maverick crosses paths with Lt. Bradley Bradshaw (a.k.a. Rooster), played by Miles Teller, the son of Maverick's late friend and Radar Intercept Officer Lt. Nick Bradshaw (a.k.a. Goose). "My dad believed in you. I'm not going to make the same mistake," Rooster says to Maverick's face in the trailer.
More than 30 years after serving as one of the Navy's top aviators, Maverick is still pushing the envelope as a test pilot and going head-to-head with authority. He soon finds himself training a crew of Top Gun graduates for a specialized mission. This new mission is unlike anything any of them have ever seen, including Maverick.
Maybe the studio took the extra time with these delays to correct the blatant Chinese influence which persuaded the studio to remove the Japanese and Taiwanese patches from Maverick's jacket as seen in the first trailer?
We’ll see when Top Gun: Maverick's drops May 27.
