There is in Hollywood, in the movie industry, the
use of advanced imaging software to create special
effects that seem so real that we are mentally and emotionally pulled into the movies as if what is happening
on the screen is real. Through the use of light, color, and
sound, our senses are tricked into believing that what we
are seeing is authentic. And if we are not careful, we can
so identify with these images and sounds that we
surrender a part of ourselves and give away our soul
essences through what the screenwriters, producers,
directors, and actors desire for us to experience.
Often the unresolved psychological issues of the
Hollywood industry as a whole, and the writers in specific, are embedded within the scripts. The themes of
the movies are introduced in subtle yet powerful ways
to sway our consciousness into believing what they
would have us believe, into accepting what previously
we would not have even considered allowing into our
being. They have overstimulated our society to the
extent that they accept graphic violence and all manner
of deviant sexual and other behaviors that a few
generations ago were unthinkable. It is no wonder why
our culture has seen a deep moral decline.
