Movies were horrible in the 1970′s with the emphasis on the antihero. Then a classic story of good vs. evil space opera called Star Wars came out and I remember just enjoying a good fun story. My friends and I tried to analyze why we enjoyed it so much. Basically it was a movie where you cheered the good guys and the charming rogue who were the underdogs and won.
Many of you have said why is there not a competitive media/ entertainment from the right. That competitor already exists and it is the video games. Please note the wild success of Call of Duty 4 in 2007 at $50 a game. That game sold over 7 million units. That is action/war game and has clear identities of good guys and bad guys. The Halo games have continued to be successful and the entire 13-25 year old male demographic buys the game
Video games are so profitable that the studios that develop them could buy out the Hollywood studios. But Hollywood is not aware that they are the competition in a new media form, just like print media did not recognize the Internet and bloggers as the competition until it is too late.
