Over the years, Hollywood has notoriously glorified R-rated films while simultaneously downplaying their G-rated counter parts. The movies, traditionally, have not been the go-to place to find uplifting stories steeped in healthy morals. This, it seems, may be changing.
Hollywood seems to be trending toward the production of more family friendly films. Shouldn’t we, as parents, support them in these efforts?
Why Parents Should Support Hollywood as They Trend Toward Producing Family Friendly Movies
There may finally be something to be thankful for coming out of Hollywood. For years we’ve known that G-rated movies do much better at the box office than R-rated movies; yet, Hollywood still loves graphic sex and violence—even at the expense of our kids’ innocence. Now, this may only be because internet porn has now lowered the demand for R-rated films.
Regardless, it seems that family friendly films with redemptive themes are making a comeback. According to Movie Guide, even more of these films are expected down the road. I truly believe that Hollywood can potentially influence our kids even more than today’s church. So, when they get it right, support them. Our kids will be the ultimate winners.
