I was watching "Birdman" this morning. The scene where a dried up prune of a critic tells Michael Keaton to his face that she is going to destroy his play simply because she doesn't like him typifies what Hollywood is about.
She says to him that she's going to destroy his play, and thus destroy him, because he didn't beg for her permission to do it in the first place. Imagine a person that decides she doesn't like you and is willing to destroy your life just because she can. A person that is so full of herself that nothing else matters more than being able to ruin lives and careers with a stroke of a pen.
This is Hollywood.
This is liberalism.
This is the left.
They believe in fairness but they don't practice it in real life. Perhaps elitists are liberals because they need something in their lives to rid themselves of guilt for all the evil they do in their lives. They can't show compassion for those they work with so they show it by joining causes. They're a bunch of egomaniacal narcissistic assholes with no real feelings for anyone but themselves. They are the most unpleasant beings on the planet.
This is the Harvard grad, the Hollywood mogul, the ultra-rich North-easterner that doesn't want to give a real homeless person the time of day, and believes in abortion because having a kid would mean responsibility and being tied down. This is life in the big city. Where you have to eat or be eaten. This is why a pampered star like Gwyneth Paltrow feels like every day is worse than being in a war. Because of the rotten people she has to suck up to just to get a decent part and keep her career going.
"Whiplash" is another movie that focuses on a narcissistic personality disorder that is prevalent among the elitists in positions of power.
An abusive college music teacher who tortures his pupils and thus attempts to draw any potential for greatness out of them. Sometimes it results in suicide. Sometimes, rarely, it causes them to reach heights they never dreamed of.
I highly recommend you see both of these films. Although neither has blockbuster appeal, both have a message that I think everyone can get something from. What I got from them was an insight into the darker side that liberals like to keep hidden. The dark side of what it takes to achieve greatness in our society. We all have to decide if greatness is worth the sacrifice.
