Hollywood

Oh Hollywood, can you not restrain yourself? Can you not abstain from corrupting young minds?I was tempted to say pure minds, but no human mind is pure.

I've begun to realise that Hollywood is the pinnacle of sinful nature. It encourages us to blankly blob and soak in the sexual immorality, the violence & the nonchalant attitude towards death.

In almost every Hollywood movie, a guy strips off his shirt, to reveal a body worked hard for months on end, and probably tanned from a bottle. This creates a lustful attitude in girls, and sets unrealistic standards on guys. And it also seems to create a vain attitude in guys, encouraging the mindset that; without a good body, no girl will ever like them.

In almost every Hollywood movie, there is loads of sexual immorality. Guys hooking up with girls they barely know the name of.  Even the underlying themes and jokes in kids movies are sexually immoral.

The violence in Hollywood astounds me. Consistent violence. Shoot one bullet through his head. Who cares about his wife? His kids? Not Hollywood. To them its just another bullet wasted. I understand that they're fictional characters but honestly what kind of example is that setting?

One thing I know for sure: I want to be counter-cultural. I want to be the complete opposite of Hollywood. Why? Because I'm a Christian and I have to obey all these rules? No, because I understand the grace given to me by God. I don't want to take it for granted, even though I do everyday. But I want to STRIVE not to. I want to make endeavor not to.
