Generational Flop

I do not understand why every piece of media we consume now has to be some masterclass in film history, or some inspirational story of overcoming a terrible destiny.
What happened to the popcorn flicks? What happened to the one-offs? What happened to the people that wanted to make movies, just to make movies? Or television shows that are honest about their humor, and not some over-produced, generic comedy slop, that is force fed to us because there is no originality anymore?
I for one am sick of it.
I recently watched this movie named “BlacKkKlansman” that had an awesome premise. An unsuspecting detective main character infiltrates a hate group to try to dismantle it from the inside.
That sounds awesome.
But then the character gets caught up in a sort-of-romance with another character that completely contradicts the hate group that the main character is involved in.
Which would be fine, if the director focused on those aspects.
Instead, he tried to paint the picture that the whole of the U.S was like this hate group, and at the end of the movie, completely forgoed the main mission of the to try and convince the audience that America is filled to the brim with a “systemic” hate.
What a load of malarchy.
I have a hot take. Unless the movie is *directly* dealing with politics, they should have close to none in them. Which is crazy, that is a hot take.
I mean, the movie had John David Washington in it, with films such as “Tenant” and “Amsterdam” under his belt, has become a really popular and powerful actor. As well as Adam Driver, who alone has a whole trilogy of “Starwars” experience, really puts him in contention in our generation of greatest actors.
It is just a shame that both their talents are basically being wasted on this agenda filled slop, and that they are not being taken seriously.
In all seriousness, if this trend of promising films being twisted by the politics of our age, are they even creative works?
I feel we get enough of politics in daily news outlets, and people around us, do we really need it in almost every film?
Overall, I am sorely disappointed in the day in age we live in, that every director has to feel their stories need some huge, groundbreaking, ethical high ground, and end up like every failed passion project.
