Ex-Hollywood Writer: Why Modern Movies Suck
"Wokeness is actually a deep philosophical view that human spirituality does not exist, that everything is about power."
This interview is awesome.
"This idea of wokeness, which is actually a very deep - we use it as a slogan, as a catch word, but it is actually a very deep, philosophical moment. It is the bottom of atheistic philosophy. And it is impossible to make a good story out of it because it has no inner life."
"The whole premise of wokeness is there is no spiritual life, there's only power. EVERYTHING that we believe in is only about power. Femininity is about power, Masculinity is about power, the constructs of power. And so, they can't say anything, you can't say anything about what it is to be a human being."
"I've always thought what would happen if you told a story in which a woman character starts out as a powerful businesswoman, and then says you know what, I don't want to do this, I want to make a family, I want a man to take care of me, so that I can do this… you know, you can't make that movie. You can't make a movie where a guy comes to town and builds a business, and he's the hero of the movie, because it's all about power. So if he has power he must be the bad guy. When you get rid of the spiritual life there is only power, and that's not a good story."
"This is how an art form dies. It is about a coagulation of power."
Watch the whole video, it's very good.
