Director Steve Soderbergh expressed concern that Donald Trump's presidency has altered perceptions of good and evil, making past presidents like George W. Bush seem preferable. In a recent interview, he reflected on how Trump's behavior aligns with villainous traits, leading to a reevaluation of character tropes in films. He worries about the implications this has on teaching morality to children, emphasizing the challenge parents face in discussing right and wrong amidst the current political climate.
God, the George W. Bush-era seems like the golden age now. Who would have thought we'd find ourselves wishing that things were that simple?
We're in a place right now where our ideas of what that office means are evolving... Are people going to the movies and rooting for the villain, and we've just been pretending that that's not true?
The thing that is most unnerving: If you're a parent of a child, what are you telling them about how to behave?
