The Merth Beaten Worker

George Clooney has been saying for years that Hollywood should be making movies that are socially responsible. This year, he put his money where his mouth is, and I think a few others did too. In fact, i think all the best picture noms (at least the four I saw) are socially responsible. Now, I dont mean that every movie shold be liberal propaganda, but our ability to define ourselves with on-screen characters is an ability no artist has ever had before the advent of film. Pointing out the problems of society and making them urgent, and thus demanding change, or at least consideration, is perhaps the highest value of filmmaking.
