Is it just me or could Hollywood be any more obvious with their not so subliminal messages about saving the environment? In the last three or four years the "end of the world" type movies have really gotten a lot of attention. Last night I saw "Knowing" with Nicholas Cage and it wasn't until the end that it hit me...Humans are destroying the earth and god is going to just burn it all up and start over blah blah blah. Now I have no problem with people buying better light bulbs or recycling or even driving those little toy cars that get 1848293 miles per gallon if that's what they want to do. What I don't agree with is when people do it because they think that if they don't then we will all be dead from some huge disaster caused by global warming in the next 50 years. Could Hollywood be more proactive about this? Knowing, The Happening, The Day The Earth Stood Still, I Am Legend. These are all movies that have been released in the last few years and have been geared at either "stop harming the planet" or "the end of the world is coming". I just wish some director would find some originality somewhere way down deep and use it to make a good movie that they think people will enjoy with no little hidden messages or agenda. Wouldn't that be great?
thanks for reading.

Hahahha I am completely on the same page with you. If I hear one more public service announcement preaching we, as a people, are not "green" enough, I'm going to freaking scream. While I admit, I love Wall-E, I love it as a love story (because I'm a chick), not as an editorial about the downfall of our planet. My ultra-conservative mother was nauseated by the harping on this theme in Wall-E, and I have to admit I don't blame her. I feel the same way about these endoftheworldasweknowit movies as I do about those groupofmisfitsjoinstogetheragainstalloddstowinafootballgame movies - WE GET IT. Can we get some originality here, please?
