Movie Describes Our Digitally Enhanced Wasteland

(which dominate government, business and culture.) Characteristic
of a satanic cult, art and entertainment are degrading, discordant and disturbing, and diversions from reality, i.e. the gradual establishment of Luciferian world tyranny.
A recent movie, Men, Women and Children (2014) is an exception. It actually describes the spiritual wasteland being experienced by millions.
Hollywood Jews can never show the real reason for our malaise nor the remedy.

Smart phones and Internet make its very easy to be unfaithful and to indulge our lowest impulses. That's the message of Jason Reitman's bleak movie "Men, Women and Children" which opened last fall and bombed both commercially and critically. It got a "rotten" score of 31% from critics on Rotten Tomatoes and made only $1.6 million at the box office, a tenth of its production cost.
Son of Director Ivan Reitman, Jason made a major splash with the critical and commercial hits "Thank You for Not Smoking," "Juno" and "Up in the Air." But his more recent efforts, the well-reviewed "Young Adult," and "Labor Day," failed to connect.
Men,Women and Children , based on the novel by Chad Kultgen, portrays contemporary life in an average white American suburb. Critics complained that "Reitman's overbearing approach to its themes blunts the movie's impact." Another said the film "played like a spoof" with others agreeing the film was "mawkish and clichéd".
This is a serious movie that deserved a better reception. But people have little capacity for truth. If they don't like what they see in the mirror, they look away. I found the movie excruciating to watch because everyone is so lost and miserable. For example:
* Allison Doss,17, left, hooks up with a crush who promptly dumps her. She has an ectopic pregnancy and almost dies. Her dad is shocked and disappointed to learn of her promiscuity. After she gets out of hospital she texts her beau, who makes a date and then stands her up. Remember when women "saved their virginity" for their husbands?
* Hannah Clint is a teenage tart trying to parlay her trim body and pretty face into a spot on an Hollywood reality show. But her mother Donna spoiled her chances when she started a website for her daughter and sold salacious pictures to dirty old men.
* Tim Mooney is a high school football star who loses interest in life when his mother leaves his father and runs off with another man.
Tim escapes into an alternate reality: an online role playing game. His only connection to the world is schoolmate Brandy Beltmeyer whose mother monitors her Internet and calls like the NSA. Tim has no reason to live and attempts suicide when Brandy's mother, Patricia, pretends to be her daughter and tells him to get lost.
* The excitement has gone out of Don and Helen Truby's marriage. Helen starts dating and having sex with married men she meets on Ashley Madison.com. When Helen invents lames excuses to go on dates, Don migrates from online porn to seeing an expensive escort.
Lives of quiet desperation. Hollywood Jews like Jason Reitman have contributed more than anyone to creating this spiritual wasteland by attacking and destroying Christian mores. (See related articles below) I give Reitman credit for portraying the result realistically. But, in every case, sex is the great panacea and romance the key to happiness on earth when in fact this codependent mentality is often why we get into trouble.
Hollywood Jews can never show the real reason for our malaise nor the real remedy because they can't turn their backs on "progress." (For Luciferians, social degradation is progress.)
The movie ends with some tiny moral victories. Donna Clint realizes she shouldn't have pimped her daughter. Don "forgives" Helen because he cheated too. Patricia Beltmeyer witnesses her daughter's love for Tim and reconsiders her overbearing ways. These Luciferian lessons legitimize them.
Traditional sexual values associated with courtship, marriage and monogamy would set society on the right course again. But with modern technology, it's so easy to be bad.

First Comment by Dan:
Here's a $16 million dollar movie that grossed less than $1 million in the United States.
Contrast that with a piece of shit titled 'Left Behind', a Christian Zionist "end time" fantasy starring no less than Nicholas Cage. It too got lousy reviews but it still grossed $19 million - $3 million profit over it's $16 million dollar budget.
Meanwhile a film about two teenagers with terminal cancer who fall in love - 'The Fault in Our Stars', was also made for $16 million, but grossed Three Hundred Million world wide.
With due respect to terminal teenagers, I found the 'Fault in Our Stars' insipidly "trendy". By that I mean the film portrays the denial phase of Kubler Ross' 'Five Stages of Death' but skips past "anger", "bargaining", and "depression" - the phases all dying people go through to reach "acceptance". Instead, the couple gets to take their "Bucket List" dream trip together to Amsterdam, to tour the Anne Frank House. In Hollywood speak, this is supposed to be a metaphor for their suffering. The tour requires climbing ladders in the secret passage to get to the attic. [1] The climax of the scene is their first kiss to applause of an audience of tourists.[2] The next night they have sex before returning to the United States, where the boy dies shortly afterwards.
How did a serious movie like 'Men, Women & Children' end up box office road kill?
Maybe Reitman and Wislon should have written in a gratuitous family trip to Auschwitz as a metaphor for the effects of social media on families.
[1] A ladder in Kabbalah is the metaphor for the soul's descent and its transformation of physical darkness into spiritual light, and of the bitter into the sweet.

Gary C said (January 16, 2015):
Actually, "Men, Women and Children" sounds like a movie I'd like to see. I think it's trying to capture the ennui, loneliness and desperation of this age.
Our digital, electronic devices disconnect us from each other... but they are not so much ultimate causes as intensifying and accelerating factors in our separations. Desperately, we try to re-establish human connections--the human touch, seeing ourselves in others' eyes, conversing in our human voices. Ineluctably, we fail.
We do live in a modern "wasteland," but it's not our devices that have caused it so much as misconstrued tales of whom we really are--our spiritual lives, our interconnections. About a century ago, after the First World War--the "War to End All Wars"-- the poet T. S. Elliot wrote of his own generations' despair in his magnum opus, "The Wasteland."
From what I've read in this review, I think Reitman has done admirable work in this movie. Surely, there are many problems with modern Judaism, Zionism and other religions... but let's not collate all the problems of modern industrial/technological/military/corporate/media/educational life with the religious fallacies of one particular fanatical branch of one particular religion.
The very fact that this movie merits deeper probing makes it exceptional in these times.
