One positive consequence of our current national crisis may be at least a temporary reduction in Hollywood’s culture of violence. Fearful of offending audiences in the wake of the terrorist attack, some moviemakers have postponed the release of films with terrorist themes. Television writers are shelving or delaying scripts with warlike and terrorist plots. It is probably good thinking. My local video store tells me nobody is checking out "disaster" movies, says the manager, Robert, "Currently, people want comedy. They want an escape from stories about violence and terrorism." Similarly, in the music business there is a run on patriotic and inspirational tapes and CDs.
According to The New York Times, the Self-examination among these kinds of mass entertainment taste is unprecedented in scale, sweeping aside hundreds of millions of dollars in projects that no longer seem appropriate. A reasonable concern is that this might be a short-term phenomenon. Once life returns to something more normal, will Hollywood return to its bad old ways? The Times offers a glimmer of hope that it may be. The industry’s giants, it suggests, are struggling with much more difficult, long-range questions about what the public will want once the initial shock from the terrorist attacks wears off. Many in the industry admit they do not know where the boundaries of taste and consumer tolerance now lie.
This is an opportunity for public to suggest to Hollywood where that boundary of consumer tolerance is. Especially those of us who have not yet convinced Hollywood to cease its descent into ever-lower levels of desensitization (麻木不仁的) of our young.
The nonprofit, nonpartisan (无党派的) Parents Television Council, which monitors the quality of TV programming, says in its latest report that today’s TV shows are more laced than ever with sexual immortality, cruelties, violence and foul language. The traditional family hour between 8 p.m. and 9 p.m., when the networks used to offer programs for the entire family, has disappeared. The problem looks like it will get worse. That certainly looked to be the case before the Sept. 11 assault. One pre-attack The New York Times story reported that TV producers were fighting for scripts that in-elude every crude word imaginable. The struggles between network censors (审查员) and producers, according to the report, were "growing more intense".
At this moment of crisis in our nation’s history, thought has become more contemplative, prayerful, and spiritual. It may be the time to tell the entertainment industry that we want not a temporary pause in the flow of tastelessness, but a long-term cleanup. [br] The hesitation of the movie industry is a good opportunity for the public to tell it where that the boundary of______.
