Morality in Movies - High Fidelity
In this episode we cover my favorite movie, High Fidelity. Steeped in deep metaphor with a heavy helping of positive morality, this film is about more than just dating; but also the inner-workings of the male mind. Its brutal honesty and artistic cinematography meld with the absolutely transcendent soundtrack to create a watching experience that feels like reading Lord Byron at a rock concert.

    MAGA does not want girls to be educated. MAGA does not like girls getting educated in science, especially biology, and mathematics - they want to control girls and women's bodies with a puritanical ardour that borders on questionable obsession. No sane person wants paedophiles having access to children. Paedophiles are the worst mentally ill people that exist. What concerns me is an undercurrent that was expressed in Shakespeare's words " he doth protest too much". Much like the politicians who are strongly anti-homosexual yet are later revealed to be revelling in homosexual sex. Ministers and priests thundering about the moral sanctity of children, with the inference that liberal are subverting their sexual development ... It all seems to be whipping up hysteria to find ways to punish women who want to control their own bodies and to let their children know that their genetically determined sexual preference whether heterosexual or any other inclination is theirs from birth. Acceptance and respect is key. Strangely, there are closeted men in churches and right wing politics who are virulently and publicly opposed to homosexuality but must hide it from their congregations and voters. Gay left wingers just accept who they are and act like consenting adults , and announce they are gay. They can be true to themselves and their nature's, and are not particularly bother by healthy sexual preferences. However, paedophiles are not acceptable because they harm children. Being gay does not equate to paedophilia, gay men and woman are both equally disgusted by paedophiles and agree that they should be behind bars. I remember hearing a National Public Radio interview in 1993 with a self identified Fundamentalist Christian Police Chief, regarded as the national expert in so-called Satanic Ritual child abuse. As he was interviewed he said that as he investigated cases of alleged Satanic Ritual Abuse he was greatly surprised to discover: 1) he could not find the evidence of a national Satanic network, even though he absolutely believed it was real, as an article of faith 2) one of the consistent marks of serial killers was a strict Christian fundamentalist upbringing by emotionally and physically abusive, violent parents 3) paedophilia was always present in reclusive, closeted, Christian communities 4) biased investigations by panicked parents and law enforcement asking loaded questions channeled children to testify with stories the parents and law enforcement wanted to hear. He found this to be as dangerous as real and actual paedophilia but in a different way This police chief was distraught to discover these points above. He said his investigations indicated that there were three types of paedophile networks: 1) "ordinary folks" who were often easily tracked and caught 2) mobile predators who lived on the road travelling to stay ahead of law enforcement, snd 3) the 'untouchables' - very, very wealthy men who were difficult to prosecute due to their social status (or extreme wealth), religious and political connections This is where the paedophilia ring exist now, people with their own planes, flying themselves and underage girls to private islands, or private resorts or other such tightly controlled locations.

    I love this movie, probably one of my favourite Robin Williams' film (right behind Hook), and is my favourite Edward Norton film, also Tommy is my favourite Pam Farris character, totally surpasses Trunchbull. I too was 14 in 2002 (go 88 babies (or 89, depends when you turned 14 lol). It makes me sad that not a lot of people have even heard of Death to Smootchy. I forced my husband to watch it, after I found out he never saw it, he really liked the film. We agreed that it probably didn't do well was because it was too head of its time...but as I typed this, I was thinking about what you about Epstien, Diddy, and Nickelodeon and I just had a thought...What is the movie bombed, because these types of corperations, caused sabotage to make it fail, like less ads, so less people saw and maybe thinks they were like this.

      88 is the best! 😆 That's exactly the though I had. It has 3 of the biggest names in Movies of all time and barely anybody has watched it, and anyone I know that has watched it, loves it. Now I'm not saying it was throttled, but it kind of seems like it was throttled. We are on the same page there.

    Hollywood is awful and it has been corrupted a while, maybe always. And it’s not even a secret, Scream 3 called attention to it 20 years ago. But either most of us (me included) look the other way because we love and were raised on film and TV or people actually don’t realize all that exploitation is very real. Smoochie is excellent btw, arguably William’s best role.
