Artistic Inspiration

Today I started the third season of Boy Meets World and the first Season of Heroes.
I sort of want to be a film producer some day. I don't know how I could justify that, because movies are expensive. And the world needs a lot more useful things than just another amusing movie on their hands. However, I think the film industry has an incredibly powerful voice in the world, and I think it might be worth the risk to be part of that voice.

I would feel guilty if the major effect of my career would be to distract the upper class citizens of the world from reality, to give them mere amusement rather than entertaining inspiration. I feel like that's the only stuff that fills the cinemas these days. Amusement. Distraction-- movies that make the viewer merely want to be the characters in the movie, rather than inspiring them to do something just as daring in their own lives.
I want to be able to inspire people. Artistic inspiration. I want to give an audience something that they can keep, something that they can do something with.
I don't know exactly what I'm talking about.
Film Production...
