The whole Hollywood industry is driven by money and yet it "preaches" such painful yet beautiful ideas.
While I do value western concepts of art and the free expression of art, at the same time there is tons of garbage out there at the same time. I do think we as a species worship far to much utopias in the form of our leaders and the reality is there is no such thing as a utopia.
Hero stories may make for a good story, but in reality, blind worship is ignorant and dangerous.
