Everyone has watched the movie “The Godfather” and enjoyed it very much. In the film, “good” gangsters kill “bad” gangsters and get away with it. Everything was justified by the words “good” and “bad.” I have never heard anybody say the movie is unrealistic or stupid, which it is. One may say it is just entertainment. That is correct, but if the idea of the film were not intriguing, nobody would watch it. The movie is fascinating because people often feel that they do not get enough satisfaction in their lives. Once we find out how to make people satisfied, they will not watch such films.
In today’s world, the rich people control society and then, of course, the movie industry as well. The movie “The Godfather” is a product of a conspiracy by the wealthy to hinder societal progress. The movie industry makes unrealistic movies that are fairy tales for adults. By watching such films, we lose touch with reality, and as a result, we are easily manipulated. Films often teach us that power and wealth are the most valued assets. These values alienate us from our nature and secure the power of the rich. Then it is more difficult for us to find good lives for ourselves, and the rich profit from it.
The wealthy are concerned about losing their influence in society. The Internet has begun giving people the power to rate through social media, and the rich do not like it. To prevent people from requesting and getting more power in society, the rich use movies to deceive people into thinking that the power in their hands would be disastrous. For example, the science fiction television series “Black Mirror” presents the episode “Nosedive,” which satirizes the power of social media.
In the episode, people got the right to rate all citizens. The results of these ratings provide people with information on how well-liked or popular they are in society. The ratings also bring some comic rewards and punishments to the rated people. The movie portrays people being polite with the intention of advancing up the social hierarchy scale. It is difficult to determine whether this would be possible, but being polite is always a positive approach. However, the leading actress did not climb on the social scale; she nosedived instead. She had a mental breakdown due to the system of ratings. Her mental collapse suggests that the power of the people cannot work due to the narcissistic instabilities of individuals. And this is utterly false. The movie undermines the only chance for establishing a good society.
So why is it false? In the movie, people are given the power to rate unlimitedly, and this is where the film's wrong message begins. If a click of evaluation gives power to people, they will rate others frequently, if not constantly. They would seek revenge against those who hurt them or conspired with those who evaluated them positively. People would invest much more effort in ratings than the movie has presented. That would prevent them from leading a productive life. In reality, such an evaluation would fail, destroying the idea of giving power to the people. The director did not attempt to analyze the real potential of assessment at all; nor did he present any positive outcomes of it, because he made the movie in favour of the rich. By showing the new power of people in bad manners only, the rich prevent their power from ever being replaced.
I have worked on the system of mutual evaluations of people for an extended period and found how to develop it to improve society unavoidably. First of all, to avoid disputes in society, people who are evaluated must never know who rated them or how they were rated. Second, to ensure the evaluations are just and work effectively, people must have equal rights to assessment. That means the number of evaluations must be limited. Suppose that the total power of three ratings monthly per person would be enough to improve society. In this case, people will rate only the best and worst individuals to them. Such evaluations would distinguish the best and worst people in the community. Everyone would want to be on the good list. So that people will improve their behaviour to receive the least number of inadequate evaluations from others and a higher number of positive ones. This would make people maximize conveniences and minimize inconveniences to others. Such assessments will undoubtedly create a better society. This would make the ratings a potent tool of social justice. By then, such power of the people will solve every social problem. I have presented this idea in more detail in the article, “The future of democracy.”
I have developed a whole philosophy that scientifically presents how to create a good society. It is based on equal human rights and is presented in my book “Humanism.” To make my philosophy more understandable to people, I also defined it by a trilogy of screenplays for movies: Good Capitalism, Good Socialism, and Good Communism. Good Communism, written 12 years ago, is a comedy that makes fun of today's values, while the other two are constructive dramas that present the steps needed to achieve a good society. They are all based on pure science. The movies offer a glimpse into the future of humankind through their stories. More precisely, they show the bright future of humanity. I have tried to offer the screenplays to hundreds of producers and movie directors, and not one of them wanted to produce them.
Why can’t my movies be produced? First of all, people have been brainwashed by ideologies and systems of education since their creation. They have always been forced to accept the power of authorities, so my idea of equal human rights looks impossible to accomplish. Equal human rights were never established, so people do not believe they can be, or that they would ever work. As a result, nobody wants to produce a movie that presents equal human rights, even in the form of science fiction.
Furthermore, the rich prevent the production of these movies because their success would diminish their power. The bright future of humankind cannot be presented in today’s world. It is a result of nothing else but a deep conspiracy I have debunked in the article: “Jacob Rothschild is Guilty for the Conspiracy Against Humankind.”
The movie industry in the Western world is under complete control and works diligently to prevent any societal development. I do not say that all the movies presented today have bad intentions, but most of them do. Films worth watching are scarce. I can recommend a few that critique today’s alienated world, as established by the wealthy. These are Johnny English, Bedazzled, George of the Jungle, The Witches of Eastwick, and “Forrest Gump.” These movies have messages with positive intentions.
