Making Sense of Woke Hollywood and What to do About It
Let's peel back the layers of wokeness, uncover the philosophy behind it, and see where it might try to take us. Afterward, I'll present a case for why I think it's wrong to tell stories through the woke lens and what we should do moving forward.

This movie introduced the big DAs, eggs/sacs, and looks like way more dropped in on big metro cities such as NY. It just needed more action. I think the budget was only somewhere around 60 mil?

    I saw it two days ago. Its a money grab from the studio. The basic concept of seeing the beginning of the collapse makes sense, but this film wasn't that. A big mistake the film makers made was assuming that anyone would care if NYC was destroyed by the aliens. Most of the rest of the state would be throwing house parties. They should have set the film somewhere like a mid-sized midwestern city, not a large coastal city like NYC, LA, SF, etc.

      You are actually right. Jordan suffers now from what I am going to coin "Moses Syndrome" - it's like a Messiah complex but not quite. It's the compulsion to lead people to the 'light' - to the 'promised land'. The thing is: no-one actually asked Jordan for all his 'wisdom'. Acquiring a massive following means you have a lot of people, well, 'following' you and hanging on every word you say. A vicious cycle is then created (and it's essentially addiction to fame): I say something, I gain more followers, my subconscious tells me that I gained more followers BECAUSE of what I said, my subconscious then tells me that if I gained "X" followers by saying "A", I should gain "10 times X" followers if I say "10 times A". What results is Jordan saying increasingly ridiculous, unintelligible things - because his subconscious tells him: that's what gets me more followers (read: my drug hit or high) although his rational mind is telling him "more and more people need my guidance".

    I really appreciate your breakdown of these studies and the assertion. It's a common talking point various social psychology circles, and your breakdown mirrors my own experiences in reading and discussing similar articles. That is to say, people will misrepresent findings of research to suit their narratives, even when they're "trained psychology researchers" who should theoretically be far more capable of understanding their own bias and looking it things through an objective lens. I recently was part of a graduate level seminar discussion class discussing a paper on racial bias, published from University of Washington. The authors of the paper stated that "interest in the concept of microaggressions has increased substantially" and then cited Lilienfeld 2017. I'm familiar with that article, he provided a masterclass breakdown of why the concept of microaggressions lacks any sort of cohesive definition or scientific validity and needs to be entirely scrapped until those concerns can be addressed. Just goes to show how worthless "peer reviewed journal" articles are if social justice oriented social psych academics from UW can cite lilienfeld as a reason for why we should be taking microaggressions seriously.

    The perception of assertiveness in men and women has been a subject of study and debate, particularly in the context of leadership and workplace dynamics. Research indicates that while men and women are perceived equally in terms of leadership effectiveness overall, there are nuances. For instance, women are often rated more effective by others but rate themselves less effective compared to men's self-assessments. Additionally, stereotypes persist, with women seen as less assertive than men by male raters, though female raters view women as equally independent and competent in leadership. Gender differences in the perception of assertiveness in social situations are a reflection of broader societal norms and expectations. Studies suggest that women's assertiveness is often interpreted differently than men's, with women sometimes facing backlash for behaviors that are accepted in men. This discrepancy can influence the dynamics of social interactions, where assertive behavior by women may be perceived as aggressive or unfriendly, whereas men may be seen as confident and strong.

    • @pjberish
      @pjberish 4 місяці тому

      Hey, I get it. A lot of things that weren't politicized now are, and it's exhausting. In my view, a significant amount of movies today are overtly political in a way they never were before. The Oscars and several studios, including Disney and Amazon, have put DEI quotas for movies in place that fundamentally change the incentives for movie-makers from making a good movie to making one that achieves "equity." They are the ones politicizing movies and, often times, the movies suffer because of that. So, when I see a good movie, like Dune: Part Two, that lacks any overt, woke aspects I call it out because it legitimately makes the movie better. We see this reflected in ratings on Rotten Tomatoes and IMDB all of the time: audiences generally do not like overt political messaging of any kind in movies. I understand you may not share the same view, but I'm at least glad you got some value out of the other parts of the video.

    Youre going in with the book in mind. I can definitely agree that some things felt like it either should have had a bigger impact (the destruction of a sietch) or it felt rushed (the death of Rabban) but it was definitely a defining film overall. It was a long movie but at no point was it boring or spoon feed exposition. The "show dont tell" method (the riding of the sandworms and how exposing the holes between the scales prevent the worm from diving) was used quite a bit and the acting (walken was definitely a funny choice) was good enough to convey the missing inner dialoges. I think it waa a solid 8 to 9 out of 10. The weird choice of walken and some scenes feeling rushed/missing impact do detract and break the immersion here and there. However, its only but a couple scenes in an almost 3 hour show time. I think its at least on the same playing field as Lotr.

So I think unintentionally, expectations may have been placed on how you wanted things to play out in specific scenes/keynotes. Maybe I didn't convey that thought process well enough. I think a 2nd viewing might help piece together parts that were glossed over in your mind because this director definitely tried to limit exposition in part 2 and wanted the actors to do thr heavy lifting in their mannerisms, body language and facial expressions. I agree overall with your complaints and triumphs of the film, I just think you gave the negatives a heavier weight against the score than I personally would.

Were the films not primarily made for the core audience that would carry the hype forward? So why is it only non book readers are happy about these films? I came out feeling uninspired, insulted and most severely disappointed. I know I'm not the only one. And when even my non book reader friends remark that "So much FEELS missing from the second half" - that's not a good sign. The hype for this film is simply unjustified, and time will very soon tell just that.

      @@pjberish The warning of charismatic leadership is very libertarian at its core. Herbert was a Republican and had strong political beliefs which influenced his works. He described President Kennedy as one of the most dangerous presidents for that very reason, and he considered Nixon to be a good president because he personified distrust in government. I'm not saying that you say there is no politics in Dune. I'm saying that your claim that other media are pushing an agenda and Dune would be a glorious exception is simply untrue. It's simply a different agenda than e.g. feminism or racism. You may share the political agenda presented in Dune, you may find it so utterly normal that you don't even perceive the media as pushing an agenda. Either way: Dune, by design, pushes a political agenda. It was written for that very purpose. To claim otherwise ignores anything the author has ever said about his own work. Heck, Herbert wrote Dune Messiah in part only to completely deconstruct Paul as the hero, as he always wanted him to be an anti-hero and was irritated that many people reading the first book would think of Paul as the classical hero.

      I should have been more precise with what I said in the video. I generally find the insertion of any overt, partisan political messaging or ideologies in movies to be a turnoff. Modern movies are often influenced by woke ideology in a very in-your-face way and I'm glad Denis Villeneuve chose, for the most part, to faithfully adapt the source material. If you had people place Dune on the political spectrum it's not obvious to me that people would immediately know where to place it. I suspect the average placement would be somewhere in the middle.

    I think the problem is that the first Dune flushed out every bit of foundation they possibly could, and to some opinions it came across as slow and reaching nowhere... And the second Dune seemed to take important story-building timeframes and rush them, almost like watching a "previously on" montage. I think that difference between time dilation and compression makes the second one feel less deep than it could have. I don't think that really took away from the story we were given, it's still incredibly well done

      Had Denis not insisted on making the first film a series of extended beauty shots and vignettes with little connective tissue and depth, and not done the same during the first half of Part Two, perhaps he could've actually... Adapted the book in its entirety! The miniseries did it with an hour less than Villeneuve had to work with. So... What's his excuse, really? He obviously streamlined it needlessly. However, it's also very telling that the trailers released for both films before their respective delays (the first due to COVID, the second due to the HWood strikes) contain shots and dialogue not seen in the finished film (but that, in Part One's case, do appear in the leaked 2018 script). It could be claimed that the first final edits of these films, before their delays, were the actual adaptations, and what we have now - are... Interjected edits, shall we say? If that is indeed the case - What's the use of re-adapting Dune if you David Lynch Villeneuve twice?!

    In response to reactions of my unpopular opinion of this new adaptation, I am going to upload the entire SciFi Channel miniseries, Dune, and Children of Dune to my UA-cam Channel. It will take me about a week, due to restricted data upload. I hope this provides entertainment to people who cannot find these miniseries anywhere else available.
