In this review, we will look at one of the important elements of this campaign - how, using the tools of cinema, the image of the mother, whose purity and holiness has historically been an integral part of any healthy society, is discredited.

Today we can observe an active phase of reformatting society in Western countries. Parallel to the process of legalization of perversions and all kinds of vices, a systematic dismantling of the institution of the family is taking place. Before any law is passed that creates privileges for homosexuals or prohibits the use of the words "dad" and "mom" in official documents, a large-scale information campaign is being conducted to prepare the consciousness of the population for the adoption of these "innovations."

In this review, we will look at one of the important elements of this campaign - how, using the tools of cinema, the image of the mother, whose purity and holiness has historically been an integral part of any healthy society, is discredited. Surely, you have already noticed that in many modern films mothers look repulsive, their life is shown flawed and inferior. Often there are storylines that defame and contemptuously describe everything related to the birth and upbringing of children. Let's start with several well-known paintings, in which this information is still presented rather gently and boils down to the fact that the mother here is no longer an image of purity, light and love, but just a squeaky and hysterical voice-over:

Now let's remember a French movie "Amelie", which is considered almost a classic of modern cinema: in it for the first 15 minutes, the viewer is told about the childhood of the main character, explaining why a young, kind and pretty girl is so out of this world. The viewer learns that her parents are to blame for everything: the father who made the wrong diagnosis, and the inadequate mother is a hysterical.

Another French film has a similar plot. "Me, Me and Mom again", where the main character imitates his own mother in everything, including his hairstyle, demeanor … European cinema in general has recently been famous for films about crazy mothers who threaten the mental health of their children.

For example, in the picture "Womb"Hollywood star Eva Green played a woman in love who, after losing her beloved, cloned him in her womb. And when her child grew up, she began to have feelings for him that were not at all maternal. The film not only destroys the bright image of the mother, but also promotes incest and pedophilia. At the same time, the main blow is directed at children, whose consciousness, due to age, is more easily amenable to external influence.

Thanks to Disney, we are all familiar with vivid interpretations of the fairy tales of Cinderella, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, Beauty and the Beast, The Little Mermaid, Aladdin … what unites these tales? In them, either the main character does not have a mother at all, or there is an image of an evil mother or stepmother, which are usually shown in tandem with a weak-willed father who never influences anything.

In some Disney cartoons, the 25-frame technology is also used, when individual pictures appear on the screen for just a few seconds. Here's a good example from Beauty and the Beast cartoon. Pay attention to how the mother and her children are depicted: We meet similar meanings in many other modern cartoons: "Finding Nemo" - the mother is eaten in the first shots, in "Monsters, Inc." and "Toy Story" - she simply does not exist, in "Brave at Heart" - the mother is in conflict with her daughter, in the cartoon "Rapunzel" the main conflict is tied to the foster mother's desire to preserve her youth by imprisoning her daughter in a tower.

Watching such stories can not only destroy the trusting and warm relationship between mother and child, but also literally turn children against their parents, provoke them to aggression and rudeness towards loved ones. Even in the most favorable family environment, a child watching cartoons, in which the mother is shown as stupid, ridiculous, caricatured, is involuntarily imbued with a spirit of disrespect.

In this case, we are talking about a trend in modern cinema, and not about isolated cases

The absence of a positive maternal image in a cartoon does not mean at all that the picture is necessarily bad and carries only harm. But when in every second film the same storyline is repeated, discrediting motherhood, then this will inevitably leave an imprint on public consciousness. Add to this the eternal family squabbles and scandals in numerous television shows, regular press reports of child abuse, the crude sexualization of women in popular culture, and the situation on the stage where the image of the mother was replaced by the image of a prostitute.

All this together creates favorable conditions in society for the promotion of juvenile justice, baby boxes and any other initiatives aimed at destroying the institution of the family and, ultimately, at reducing the population. Europe and the United States were unable to withstand this coordinated and controlled onslaught. Whether Russia can do it depends on each of us.
