Be Wise When Watching Movies - Modern Day Agendas Still Prevalent to Brainwash

Many moviegoers go to the cinema not just for entertainment but also to find solace in familiar storylines that speak directly to them. Common movie plots may be clichéd at times, but they remain timeless because they offer comfort and hope during difficult moments in our lives. Whether it’s a heartwarming romance or an inspiring tale of overcoming the odds, these stories give us the courage to keep going when we feel like giving up. By reflecting our values and beliefs, there are many movie plots that have become a powerful influence on society continuing to shape our culture today.

 
However, there have been many disturbing movies that soon after their release unfortunate incidents occurred leaving people wondering whether tragic national and international events had been manufactured. Many sickness, disease and vaccine related movies had been released for years leading up to an actual pandemic. Movies where characters were having to isolate or were forcibly isolated from illness, natural disasters, or psychopaths holding them hostage were highly marketed as we neared 2020. In recent years, movies involving water whether groups of people being attacked in water, fighting in water, accidents involving water, water exploration, or water creating massive flooding killing individuals have been in abundance.  

Technological failures using outdated equipment so as to introduce yet another AI invention have also been prevalent in movie plots. However, movie manufactured events or human errors used to control weather, ground planes, and more are acting as indicators of what is to come and what is already here that has caused crashes, explosions and destruction in communities.  

Movies have been a powerful influence on society ever since the first silent movie was released in 1895. From classic plots like the hero’s journey to more modern stories, certain plotlines have emerged as popular themes throughout film history. These common movie plots have shaped our culture and expectations of cinematic storytelling while also reflecting our values and beliefs. So knowing how impactful movies are, one can infer that many minds are being changed to go with whatever elitists want to convey. They have the finances to create what they want,while the average moviegoer has only the finances to watch what is being put out on the Internet and elsewhere.

 
One of the most enduring plotlines is the rags-to-riches story, where an underdog protagonist overcomes adversity to achieve success or fame. Films such as Rocky (1976), Pretty Woman (1990) and Slumdog Millionaire (2008) all follow this formula and offer uplifting messages about hard work paying off in life. This type of narrative reinforces our belief that anyone can achieve their dreams with determination and perseverance. Yet, we are also seeing a dark side with many movies who have characters and plots that continue to perpetuate certain stereotypes, control consumer buying habits and encourage addictions (like an increase of characters smoking and eating greedily).

Abuse whether physically beating up people or shooting them is scene often in movies. Periodically, there is an increase of movies where African American celebrities appear to be shamed by: taking on a role once again where they are: being ridiculed for the color of their skin, appear as slaves, dressing as women when they identify with being male, and performing despicable acts that have long been discouraged by elders all in the name of entertainment and a big paycheck.! Some movies have done a lot to show strong minority characters in leadership roles and women as heroes. However, for the elitist establishments to maintain superiority, their may be a plot in that hero movie showing minorities and women still needing to rely on white men to make decisions for them: good, bad or otherwise.  

Satanic influence in movies is often displayed subtly or quite boldly through signs, colors, worship, and sacrifice. Morals and ethics are challenged or dismissed by characters that have no moral compass and live wickedly. Drugs, alcohol, sexual immorality, fighting, cheating, stealing, lying and more is all-too common place in movies. 

Another popular movie trope is the classic romantic comedy, which often centers around two people overcoming obstacles in order to get together. Films like When Harry Met Sally (1989), The Wedding Singer (1998) and Love Actually (2003) all provide a heartwarming message about the power of love, along with lots of laughs. These stories remind us that true love exists and that it’s worth fighting for. On the other hand, there are many movies that are showing unpopular love interests and behaviors that most moviegoers do not want to see. There is often confusion in relationships that doesn’t resonate with many audiences. After watching some of these so-called romantic films, it is clear that those who created these movies doesn’t have a full understanding of the fruit of th Spirit and what it truly means to love others.

 
Finally, there are many movies out there that feature an inspirational protagonist who makes tough decisions in order to “do the right thing”. Think Erin Brokovitch (2000), To Kill a Mockingbird (1962) or Schindler’s List (1993). These stories show us that even in the darkest of times, it is possible to choose the path of morality and integrity. When we think of modern day movies, we are once again being led, like years past into a mindset that is welcoming of the elitists’ agenda. Political movements, religious movements, women movements, black lives matters movement, and more are good when they are good, but what seems to be happening off the movie screen is a war of good and evil and it appears at times like evil is winning. 

In conclusion, common movie plots have had a tremendous impact on our culture. They can be entertaining and inspiring, offering valuable lessons about life while reflecting our values and beliefs, but also dark, disturbing, riddled with agendas, and simply not enjoyable to view. Movies are often said to be a reflection of society, and these repeating plotlines certainly prove this point.

Here are some must-haves that you should always have in your pantry. These items go a long way and will save you money in the long-term buying in bulk: 

 - Canned vegetables and fruits: Canned vegetables and fruits are a nutritious and economical option that will last longer than their fresh counterparts. They're also very versatile - use them as the foundation of a meal like chili or soup, or add them to omelets, salads, or sandwiches for an extra boost of nutrition. 

 - Whole grains: Whole grains such as oats, quinoa, barley, and bulgur wheat are packed with fiber and other essential vitamins and minerals. Use them in a variety of recipes such as muffins, breads, and pilafs for a healthier meal that won't break the bank. 

 - Nuts: Not only are nuts a great source of protein and healthy fats, but they also store well in your kitchen pantry. Choose from different varieties like almonds, walnuts, pistachios, or cashews to add crunchy texture and flavor to salads, porridges, baked goods, or homemade trail mix. 

 - Dried beans: Dried beans are another pantry staple that can be used in a multitude of dishes. Whether you opt for kidney beans, black beans, chickpeas or lentils - they're all an excellent source of protein, fiber, and other essential vitamins and minerals. Plus, they're a fraction of the cost of canned beans. 

 - Canned fish: Canned tuna, salmon, sardines, or mackerel can be used in salads or sandwiches for a quick meal option. They are also rich in omega-3 fatty acids which can help boost your heart health. Having these items on hand will make cooking dinners easier and more affordable when you have little money to spend on groceries. With a few pantry staples, you'll be able to make delicious meals without breaking the bank!

New Business Owners: How to Keep Your Personal Life and Business Private from Prying Eyes

When you own your own business, it can be difficult to keep your personal life private. Whether it’s in person or online, there are always people trying to get access to your information and use it against you. To protect yourself and your business, here are some tips on how to keep your personal life and business private from prying eyes:

1. Use Strong Passwords - It is important to have strong passwords for all of your accounts related to both personal and business matters. This includes email accounts, social media profiles, banking accounts, etc. It's best practice not to use the same password across multiple accounts as that makes them increasingly vulnerable should they be compromised. Also make sure that passwords are complex by using a mix of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols.

2. Limit What You Share - When it comes to social media, make sure that you are careful about what content you share publicly with your friends or followers. Although it can be tempting to post everything online, it is important to think through the consequences of making such posts publicly available. Consider not only your business image but also potential legal implications if any content could be used against you later.

3. Secure Your Data - To keep your personal information secure, consider using encryption software for emails, documents, financial records, and other sensitive files. This will ensure that even in the event of a data breach, the information remains protected from hackers. You should also maintain good security practices such as regularly backing up your data and using secure file-sharing services when needed.

4. Monitor Your Cyber Activity - It is important to be aware of what information is being accessed or shared online. Regularly checking your accounts for any suspicious activity can help protect you from unwanted access or malicious use of your personal data. Additionally, be sure to use a secure browser and antivirus software to help protect you from cyber threats.

By following these tips, you can ensure that your personal life and business remain private from prying eyes. Not only will this keep you safe, but it will also benefit the reputation of your business in the long run. Taking steps to protect yourself now will prevent future headaches and stress in the future.

Additionally, if you encounter a security breach or suspect someone is trying to access your data without permission, it is important to contact professionals as soon as possible. They can help ensure that your personal information remains secure and private.
