Check out the simple example. Hollywood producer receives tens of million dollars, if not hundreds for one film. The star-performer of the main roles gets a couple of millions. Some popular American actors can get about 20-25 million for one film.
And this situation is everywhere in our country: in music, sports, etc. But the producers and directors are also not on the top. At the very top people own billions, and they are making sure that no one moves away from the alliance’s line in movies and music industry. They are the businessmen for whom money is a religion, and they are the main priests of this religion. At this level, we are talking about the beliefs and convictions.
In the 19th century (and before) the people were discussing the news of the aristocracy. Now we discuss the new car of Wizkid. And we love it. Develop or degrade? But all this did not happen immediately, and not by accident. Who and why replaced the true aristocracy on false?
It is easy to notice that there is nothing brilliant, good or even just pleasant for ordinary listener and viewer in the contemporary art, music, and movies. What can our movies teach our kids? There are a lot of murders, betrayals and money.
We constantly watch American films, which nowadays mostly look anti-aesthetic. All current mass production is beneath criticism. The world slogan is ‘The more disgust, the more profitable it is!’ It has long been adopted by show business. Obscenity, dirt defects, sexual abnormalities are promoted by the modern art and are presented already as a norm.
