Answers instead of Questions

The tedious history of Hollywood reveals two key things among many others.
I. It implements an insult-to-logic, backward financial model (where one film is produced for 100 million when 10 films for 10 million could be produced)
II. It has continually, almost without hesitation, been the main mass media outlet which glamorizes violence and perpetuates long held American racist and puritanical tendencies.

Simply, we must formally deny the discussion and attention of such films or we too include ourselves in the model. I am all for a war against machines, this machine however is far more destructive and terrifying than any transforming truck could ever be, (sorry Michael Bay and Spielberg).

Questions instead of Answers?

Why make a film about gigantic robot warfare that cost $150 million?
Do we need to see a fabricated carnage in order for us to live through our life?
Is a illusionary war necessary?
Do we gain a perspective from this experience?
Imagine all the art that $150 million could produce?

This are simple questions one should ask oneself.
