Sometime this past weekend, I accidentally clicked on a movie and stayed there until the bitter end.
Titled "The Rain People".....written and directed in 1969 by Francis Ford Coppola and acted by James Caan and Shirley Knight, it presented a real-life version of one man and one woman abusing each other into a mutually-created hell:

The woman kept seducing and inviting.....then cruelly rejecting, the man.
The man kept seducing and inviting.....then cruelly rejecting, the woman.

It wasn't fun to watch, but it also wasn't one of those totally dishonest versions of male-female relationship-failures of the present, in which Hollywood keeps repeating that men are forever abusing their women, while women are being falsely portrayed as loving angels with a halo of innocence mounted on top of their heads.

The reality is that sometimes a man abuses his woman.....that sometimes a woman abuses her man.....that sometimes both the man and the woman abuse each other.....and that sometimes, men and women actually coexist in affectionate and caring relationships.

This "Rain People" movie was depressing as all hell and I never want to see it again, but it sure managed to reveal how infinitely dishonest our filmmakers have become, since 1969, and how they keep trying to brainwash all of us, with their psychologically false and politically twisted concepts of how things "ought to be" according to their own personal points of view.
