Movie theatres are supposed to be a place where friends and
families can come together and enjoy some entertainment. It’s
supposed to be a place where you expect the filmmakers and the
studios to have done their jobs by filtering out whatever
inappropriate elements there may be and target it to the
correct audience.
Last Saturday, I took my two children to see Wedding Crashers,
thinking that this would be suitable for youngsters. Within the
first twenty minutes, I was shocked at how many curses went
flying around and how much the filmmakers used sex to get cheap
laughs. Granted, Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn are both good
comedic actors, but the film in itself was so vulgar that I had
to leave the theatre at once.
The same was true for Meet the Fockers. It seems to me that when
Owen Wilson, Vince Vaughn and Ben Stiller come together, they
can’t come up with funny enough material and they simply have to
retort to using sex and vulgar language to lean on. Many years
ago, comedies strictly based the plot on wit and the
performances. Less is often more and recently all the comedies
that have come out since There’s Something About Mary (Dodgeball,
Shallow Hal, Zoolander, etc…) have all be extremely disturbing.
As a parent, you don’t know what movies to take your children to
anymore. In fact, you even hesitate to take them to the movies at
all.
The last few movies that we went to see that were a delight for
youngsters and adults alike were mostly animated films. The
Incredibles had a strong theme and message that really made it
stand apart from any other stand motion picture that comes out
these days. Shrek 2 was entertaining but even then, it kept
making sexual innuendoes when there really isn’t any necessity
for it. The one film that I could recommend that is not animated
is a film by the name of Machiavelli Hangman. Although
you may be thrown off by the title – I know I was – it doesn’t
have so much to do with hanging and dying and politics and it
does with a young man who is searching to find himself. I was
surprised that this Quentin Tarantino-esque film didn’t have
the Quentin Tarantino-esque elements I feared. The dialogue was
clean and there were not any gratuitous uses of sex or violence.
Everything was in its place and those are the films that we need
more of.
Films are a reflection of a society and we need to once and for
all get in sync with our current filmmakers and really decide
who we want to represent our people and culture.
