Over time as stated values change, and when we are making movies about a different time period, we must understand that people’s values now are different than at the time of making those movies in the past. For people in general, what is believed now seem to be more accepting of other people’s cultures and views than before. A good example of this is the movie “Inglorious Bastards” which tells the story of a plan to assassinate Nazi leaders by a group of Jewish U.S. soldiers who coincides with a theatre owner’s vengeful plans for the same. The movie is excited and uses World War II history to explore a very awful time period in which the group focused on in the movie (the Nazis) had attempted genocide against the Jewish population, and also of other people they thought were below them. A movie at the time could not have been made as the issue was very serious and raw. It can be argued that, in today’s world, we make fun of very serious issues, and it has become more valuable in some people’s eyes. The evidence of this can be seen in the internet reaction to the corona virus and also the possible outbreak of world war three. These issues have been met with satire. We now seem to be less sensitive to horrible events. For an example in “amusing ourselves to death,” Postman states, “To an extent difficult to imagine today, earlier Americans were familiar not only with the great legal issues of their time but even with the language famous lawyers had used to argue their cases” (Postman, p.57).
People do not take time out of their day to research. A lot of opinions of ordinary people are based on information that they get from satire. Facebook and other social has become the place of information. In “amusing ourselves to death,” Postman talks about how we used to get our information from print, Authors who thought hard about what they were writing and who had qualifications, and were well respected. Now, a lot of information is read on the toilet, on the way to work and read in small clickbait articles without much fact checking. To be published is a lot harder than submitting an article on social media. Because of that, our morals are being affected by information that may be false. In World War two, there was a different type of false information, and it was propaganda. As in “A Different Mirror,” Takaki states “Japanese propaganda to the Philippines, Burma, and elsewhere insists that this was a racial war” (Takaki, p.347). People were being told to hate other nations and races because they were different and as this was the only media they could access their values were greatly affected.
