Would you say Ghostbusters is a propaganda movie?

I know it goes over your head so I will try it this way: that scene in Scream where Neve Campbell is able to move her father while tied up into a hallway closet by herself. That is an example of the physics problem I am talking about.

You can also call it common sense if you prefer.

Physics, gravity, common sense, it gets you to the same conclusion.

There are certain expectations one has, like health is more advantageous than sickness, or strength has more advantages in a conflict than weakness--this also involves common sense observation and experience.

Immutable truths.

That's is exaggeration on your part. If I want to prove that Hollywood does not want to show normal or positive white male characters in stores-and someone says "but Superman was positive" I would say "yeah, but he's technically an alien."

But that doesn't explain why they had her drag him to the closet-especially when the shtick of Scream was to defy standard slasher movie conventions.

The jump scare is hardly worth the breaking of physical laws concerning the carrying of weight across space so there has to be a political/ideological motivation. If it was the only film to do that with father characters, then it would mean nothing, but there is a long history of it so it is an identifiable pattern.

You did. I could have just said there are blonde blue eyed Greeks walking around today but there is less fun in that. Better to use literary sources form the time in question.

Using the most famous work of Greek culture in antiquity as a source for attitudes on appearance and behavior traits? Oh right-you probably think Classical Studies is about piano music.
