WorldNetDaily: Movie Fans Flock to Patriotic, Moral Content
Americans flock to movies with patriotic, moral content, according to a study that looked at thousands of movies released by Hollywood in recent years, but they avoid those with socialist and anti-capitalist themes in droves.
"Movies with very strong Judeo-Christian values, capitalist ideals, patriotism and pro-American attitudes do much better at the box office than movies promoting socialism, Marxism, left-wing political correctness and atheism," said Ted Baehr, publisher of MOVIDEGUIDE©: A Family Guide to Movies and Entertainment, and chairman of the Christian Film & Television Commission ministry in Hollywood.
The study shows that there were 28 movies with very strong Christian morality released in 2007, and they averaged $60.3 million at the box office, the four movies with strong pro-capitalist content averaged $62.7 million, and the 30 with patriotic and pro-American elements averaged more than $73 million at the box office.
However, the five movies with strong anti-capitalist content averaged $5.5 million, those with socialist content averaged $8.2 million, and those with communist content averaged $10.2 million, the study showed.
At the bottom of the heap was a single movie with very strong feminism that returned a box office take of $3,000, while movies with very strong homosexuality returned $18.7 million, those with very strong atheism returned $25.3 million, those with politically correct content returned $20.6 million and those with anti-American themes returned $34.6 million, the study said.
