God Bless America - Frank's Speech

I came across this movie on Netflix last week: "God Bless America", a dark comedy that critiques America's fascination with pop culture and the cruelty of media and reality TV. This scene here is the spine of the film's message. With so much weight, so much attention given to the likes of the Kardashians and Paris Hilton's of the world--people who are famous for being famous--when everyone tries to be the most shocking in order to be known and the media just panders to that strive for fame, what do we lose? For one, we miss out on real honest to goodness talent. And more importantly, we lose our civility. The film isn't for the squeamish--there's a lot of blood and violence, but the message should hit home for everyone.
