Hollywood vs. America

Here are the top grossing movies of 2005, the movies America saw most often:

  • Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith
  • Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
  • The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe
  • War of the Worlds
  • Wedding Crashers
  • Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
  • Batman Begins
  • Madagascar
  • King Kong
  • Mr. & Mrs. Smith

Mostly non-controversial. Dominated by PG-13 and PG ratings. Only Wedding Crashers was rated “R” and dealt with sex.

Here are the movies being discussed for Oscar nominations this year:

  • Brokeback Mountain (Rated R for sex, nudity, language, violence, gay cowboys)
  • Munich (Rated R for violence, sex, nudity, politically controversial about Israel)
  • Syriana (Rated R for violence and language, politically controversial about oil industry)
  • Good Night and Good Luck (Rated PG, politically controversial about McCarthy era)
  • Capote (Rated R for violent images and strong language, deals with murder)
  • Transamerica (Rated R for sex, nudity, language and drug use, deals with transsexuality, out of wedlock births, and street crime.)

Is it apparent that Hollywood is pushing an out-of-touch left-wing philosophy that is out of touch with mainstream America?
