While watching Birds of Prey, I felt that its vision of Gotham might be our future. What might America look like after the collapse of all values? For one answer, Ian Michael takes us behind the scenes of Harley Quinn’s Gotham City.
Since poorly-made films get a billion-dollar box office, Hollywood no longer tries to make good films. “Birds of Prey” is dreck. Its target audience is women of all ages who enjoy seeing women beat up men. Past films have shown this to be a big market in America, so expect to see more of these.
Our films show the media industries building a new America on the ruins of the old. It has been done before; it seldom ends well.
“Kingsman” is a comedy with something for everyone. It is also a warning for all of us. We should listen.
“Transformers 4” and “Skywalker” are the greatest films of our time, showing what we have become.
