Confessions of a window cleaner

Strange how you say films today have some kind of "message" (perhaps you meant massage?). I see it as just the opposite: films from the 70s were films that tended to have a message (the Confessions series was actually an exception to the rule at the time, although in Britain the big era of social commentary films may have ended after the 60s?). There are of course a good number of films today that try the message thing (just as there were a fair number of films in the 70s that were just for entertainment), but I find a lot of the films today that try to put forth a message are just trying to hard (jamming it down our throats) and so it renders the work annoying, or they're putting forth some idea or message which the creators feel is relevent when it is actually trite and been done over a million times. But I would say it's more commonplace now, at least in the manistream, to have films that are empty, vapid, meaningless drek, where if there is some message its either warmed over or delusory. But are you from Britain? Do your films now tend to be more message oriented over there? Because I tell you, for the most part, that's not the case in the United States (except if their kinda phoney ones, like I mentioned above.) There are a few films with an actual, meaningful (and unfamiliar) message these days,like for instance The Pursuit of Happiness (a great film).
