Thank you for this insightful article. I second the desire for more John Wayne types in this country.
To my dismay though, if Europe is any indication of a trend, I am afraid we are headed further towards an emasculated society. Almost daily I encounter the results of feminist myths which have been promoted, dare I say shoved down our throats, at every turn in the last 40 years. I regularly find myself wanting to vomit at the words and actions of “men” around me. It is sad and pathetic. It is also discouraging as a still young man in my late twenties desperately searching for real men to look up to and learn from.
On a potentially brighter side though, there are many others recognizing this dangerous trend even in the upper echelons of the Hollywood elite. Some may even be doing so unwittingly or simply identifying what the American public really desires and playing to it for the financial payoff. Examples of such films may include Lord of the Rings, new Rocky, Chronicles of Narnia, new Die Hard, HBO John Adams series, Amazing Grace, Cinderella Man and others.
