| Movie genres, just like music genres and [[tv-show-formats|TV show formats]], do not arise spontaneously or organically but are created and popularised (through repeatedly producing films which follow certain archetypes and tropes) for purposes of mass cultural engineering. Below are some examples of genres and (some of) their downstream effects. | Movie genres, just like music genres and [[tv-show-formats|TV show formats]], do not arise spontaneously or organically but are created and popularised (through repeatedly producing films which follow certain archetypes and tropes) for purposes of mass cultural engineering.

| + | |||
| + | These films promoted the illusion that banks are full of cash, precious metals and such (and that cash itself is a valuable commodity), rather than the vaults being stocked with debt instruments which we ourselves create (in the form of mortgage agreements and so on). The effect is that the average person does not conceive that we ourselves generate the money (which is debt) through our signatures/ | ||

| + | These films endear us to the idea of police in general, and that their main focus is to catch bad guys, get to the bottom of crimes and so on. These provide the general public with a plausible perspective on the organisations' | ||

| + | Those who have more real-world experience may recognise that many (not all) police officers have joined for other reasons, and the organisations themselves seem to be almost designed (!) to fail and not to achieve their publicly stated objectives. Of course many police officers are unwitting victims of this and can't understand why they are not being permitted to do the job for the reason they got into it (helping people, catching criminals and such). | ||

| + | Of course, this often involves handling their own legal matters since law-society members are unlikely to side with you, as opposed to their regular clients (and lunch buddies) whose allegiance is to the system itself (ie the court). Lawyers want to make money, and not upset the judge, since they want to get favour in the future, and maybe even become a judge themselves one day. \\ \\ | ||
