Jeff Bridges Warns America – Get Engaged or Risk Totalitarian St
Actor Jeff Bridges has a new project coming to theaters on August 15th,
that relates directly to the direction America could be and quite
likely is headed under the current regime and the socialist Democrat
doctrine. It is a critical commentary on the world today for those who
are willing to look see through a skeptical eye.
The film, based upon a book by the same name
is titled “The Giver.” It is set in a false utopian future in which the
population does not realize the degree to which they are controlled and
is totally unaware that it is possible for people to make their own
choices and in the past people actually did.
The film exposes the price that is paid when
we embrace total security in exchange for the elimination of risk and
reward. Communities replace disorder and emotions with daily injections
of harmony feeding our addiction to comforStrict adherence to “the rules” replaces
choice. As the Meryl Streep character says, “When people have the
freedom to choose, they choose wrong.” Bridges’ character is an aware
and wise historian who works to take down the structure by allowing the
truth that “the way things look and the way things are is very
different” to leak out.
Bridges said in an interview with
Patheos.com “I think although the movie takes place in some future time
that it is very reflective of our own and there’s a bit of a cautionary
tale of how we humans roll and what we’re capable of. And the brutality
and the subtleties of our brutality toward each other and also the love
and the strength that’s inherent in us. Those times [McCarthyism] that
you mention were certainly dark times that we struggled with. Human
beings are still capable of that kind of thing.
We need to be on guard for that and look for
that. Not numb ourselves to it. Be engaged. One of the biggest
challenges for us at this stage, I know for myself, is to not be
cynical, you know, throw up our hands. We need to be engaged.”
