Films Can Render or Distort Reality
July 16, 2005
By Henry Makow Ph.D. (from July 2005)
Last week I saw two films, a new one that captures truth, and an old one which distorts it. Both depict romantic relationships between Jews and Gentiles. The first is "Heights," (2005) which shows how the homosexual vogue is impacting heterosexuals as a young woman struggles to save her marriage.
The second, "The Way We Were" (1973) depicts a love affair between Katie Morosky played by Barbara Streisand, an Emma Goldman-like Jewish Communist dupe, and an "all-American" Gentile, Hubbell Gardner played by Robert Redford.
It treats US Communism as though it was a benign force, and eulogizes the traitorous behavior of misguided Jewish idealists. This weird cultural artifact exemplifies how traitorous Hollywood has hoodwinked America. I'll start with that.
With the perspective of time, it is painful to watch this propaganda, put over on unsuspecting Americans as a classic romance.
In the movie, the Redford and Streisand characters were classmates in Class of 1937. Streisand was a Jewish Communist activist and Redford a goyish athlete with writing talent. Later during the war she finds her classmate, now a dashing naval officer, in a bar stone drunk. She takes him home for "coffee." When he passes out in her bed, she strips and seduces/rapes him.
Don't kid yourself; this was a deliberate assault on the sensibilities and values of Americans at the height of the media-induced "sexual revolution." Movies define what is socially acceptable. What was it telling young women? What if a male did the same thing to a female in that condition?
The sponsorship of Communism by the Rockefellers and the Anglo American elite is exposed by the fact that it was treated as just another political party entitled to participation in the democratic system it sought to destroy.
There is a particularly creepy scene where Katie addresses a political rally and forces the mostly Gentile student body to repeat in unison "I will not go to war for my country." Of course, five years later, the USA is saving the Stalin's bacon, and Katie is working for the war propaganda department.
The American Communist party was completely funded and controlled by Moscow. Yet the movie depicts American conservatives and patriots as witch hunters, anti-Semites and fascists. This has not abated. The movie "Mona Lisa Smile" (2004) starring Julia Roberts presents the family of a girl who upholds traditional marriage as anti-Semitic.
Stalin murdered at least 20 million people, mostly Christians. Yet Katie has a big poster of Uncle Joe in her apartment. Yes, the Soviets were U.S allies during World War Two. Nevertheless this benign attitude to Communism has been pushed by Hollywood ever since and is bearing fruit as totalitarianism in 2005.
Never mentioning the "J" word, the film depicts a cultural divide between Jews and Christians who are portrayed as well heeled Republican rubes who gather around the piano to sing and tell inane jokes.
"Is everything a joke for you people?" Katie rails when Hubbell's friends fail to mourn FDR's death. Their sin is to enjoy life and not want to "change the world" which really means advancing the agenda of the Satanic sect, the Illuminati.
To the movie's credit, Hubbell calls her self-centered, inconsiderate, too serious and yes "pushy." Characteristically Katie doesn't listen, learn or change. "Behave," he tells her."I won't" she answers. Hubbell divorces her but inexplicably retains an affection for her.
As Professor Kevin McDonald explains in his Culture of Critique, Liberal, Socialist and especially Communist Jews have been on the vanguard of the disintegration of Christian culture, family, race and nationhood.
These Jews have been dupes and pawns of central bankers intent on creating a one-world dictatorship. Their "secular humanism" is really Luciferianism, the deification of human "reason" and appetite; and the rejection of moral absolutes and the natural order. In the NWO, man and not God defines reality. This means the central bankers who fund the Hollywood studios will continue to use the mass media to deceive and corrupt us.
HEIGHTS
Featuring an ensemble cast, Heights focuses on an attractive young New York City couple, the cool waspy Isabel and the the intense Jew Jonathan, who plan to marry in a month.
Isabel, played by Elizabeth banks, is torn between her career as a photographer and the demands of her impending marriage. An old boyfriend hopes to rekindle their affair by landing her a career-making assignment in Eastern Europe with The New York Times magazine.
Another threat to their marriage is Jonathon's sexual ambivalence. He is afraid that Isabel will reject him if she learns of an episode from his past. Isabel's mother, Dianna, a famous actress played by Glenn Close, eventually learns of it. Can the couple overcome this obstacle?
Jonathan, an assimilated Jew, is a sincere and likable character but his sexual ambivalence is seen by his failure to take possession of his future wife. In post- Feminist America, men are afraid of women.
Heights offers a detached portrait of the contemporary NYC cultural scene. Career advancement seems to depend on putting out sexually. People are plagued by an emptiness they try to assuage with sex. The New York scene is portrayed as decadent and cutthroat.
Even in this urban cesspool, Isabel salvages her vision of marriage and finds the old-fashioned masculinity women naturally require.
The fact that Isabel is not Jewish is a minor factor in the story. Jonathan's rabbi, played by George Segal, asks him one question: "Why are you breaking your mother's heart by marrying a shiksa?... Just kidding." There is an amusing scene where Segal administers a quiz for inter-religious couples to Jonathan and Isabel. Clearly religion means little to either of them.
CONCLUSION
There is a dire shortage of honest movies about our lives, as if we are being deliberately denied the perspective and spiritual sustenance art provides.
As you know, most movies today are about crime, sex and catastrophe. Where once movies were based on novels, now they are based on comic books(Spiderman etc.). Most would have been banned as obscene as recently as 30 years ago. Our culture is seeking the lowest common denominator instead of the highest one.
That's why increasingly rare movies like "Heights" that accurately reflect our precarious world must be seen and discussed.

Hi; I am repeatedly drawn to read your columns. The information you share about the invisible government is overwhelming at times but like one lady you quote said "the truth never goes away". Someone said "Every snowflake in an avalanche pleads guilty."
We are certainly in an avalanche of immorality today and I am grateful for a few snowflakes that are resisting the fall.
