Current Education forces you to look for deeper meanings and hidden commentary in stories. So long as it’s an approved meaning.

Sometimes a story is just a story. There is no intentional hidden critique about societal problems or deep political commentary. It’s solely there to entertain or spook you in the case of horror.

I think that’s what’s primarily been killing Hollywood and other assorted media. People don’t write stories or screenplays to entertain now. They don’t write to entertain as their primary focus. Their primary focus is forcing their personal critique about societal problems and personal political commentary down people’s throats.

I’ve seen better written and acted stories come out of groups of friends and small time low budget Indy studios on the internet. Then I have out of mainline studios.

Because they still write to entertain first and foremost. Sometimes they get daring and have a societal critique or political commentary hidden in there. But their primary focus is entertaining people. Not being ham fisted attempt at trying to be a political commentary
