Does modern media inspire you to think about both yoga and aesthetics?
====
Are you a fan of celebrities who make movies about metaphysics and religion? This is the age of zen-aesthetics and 'sexy Christianity,' and American media-moguls have to keep pace now with Al Jazeera, BBC, and TV networks from around the world. Not to fear --- Hollywood and American comics still offer the jazziest entertainment!
Of course, Americans make better comics and horror-films than anyone else in the world, and now we even have horror-comics (adaptation of iconic films like Friday the 13th and Hellraiser).
Danny Boyle changed the cinematic landscape with his two iconic films Trainspotting and The Beach which featured zen-like stories about everyday young people wrestling with the depth of modernism metaphysics in a world confounded by apathy and sloth. Values-driven entertainment is the hallmark of media intelligence/imagination.
American comic books oriented towards terrorism/patriotism, especially G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero (Hasbro/Marvel) feature heroines and villainesses who are both daring and very attractive. This makes sense. In the age of great traffic, pluralism, free-speech, and open dialogue, stories about terrorism and revolution speak to a new age social interest in inventive etiquette/customs. America still leads the way in the department of liberal fineries.
Coordinating new age pizzazz with old world customs and values is the real trick of modern media diplomats. We're comfortable with apocrypha-oriented Dan Brown novels about extracting 'esoteric' Bible-codes and adapted films starring the super-celebrity Tom Hanks. Understanding how to 'place' modern metaphysics in entertainment that appeals to a pluralistic audience makes for a more holistic (and divine) podium, no?
