[Fmpro] "Freedom Of Expression"

[The Composer Collective]

Acceptance, tolerance, and perhaps having an open mind is all that one needs
as their criticism tools. Unless the person is doing someone else harm, or
if they are putting themselves at more harm than they are aware, then
you(society) don't need to intervene.

As George Carlin said: "In the future, when we finally get over racism,
bigotry, and everyone is purple, red, and brown ... then we'll have to hate
people for who they truly are."

Movies are no better than radio. Radio's content is not music. The MUSIC is
just the "commercials" so the real content can be heard in between (the
ads). And movies are just actor delivery devices. People don't see movies
because of the stories. They just see whatever movie their trusted idol has
endorsed this time. It's a giant product endorsed by gamble-holics (actors
who got lucky).

Outside of that jaded view, there actually can be found some art in movie
making. And those are the only films I care about. Films and film scores
that are innovative, and progressing the art. If we ever squash the ability
to express movies artistically we'll have completed the loop on Capitalism
and become worth only what energy we're willing to give up to those who will
take it. Capitalism is mean. It punished the weak and rewards the strong.
It's just an excuse to be an asshole. But while we're TRAPPED in a society,
born into capitalism, we have to spend 90% of our lives scrambling to keep
our loved ones alive, and healthy. And a lot of us are nuts enough to think
that MONEY is what makes one healthy (mentally, physically, and
spiritually). We've been squeezed so tight into thinking that we can barely
eek out any deep meaning from our life into art anymore.

Art is what connects us to the eternal life force. It helps us realize how
we should think, what we should care about, who should be important to us.
Anyone who is a lover of art (free expression) is doing a part in making the
universe a peaceful place.

DO MORE ART ... LESS CAPITALISM.
