No one sees it because your logic is flawed by your personal bias about what the duty of the Hollywood machine is.
Hollywood is about entertainment, they occasionally inform us, but when it comes down to it, its about entertainment and making money. Below you will see a chart detailing the breakdown of movies of the last 20 years.
With a total of 1,884 films, the combined sales of black comedies, documentaries and reality did net 2 billion dollars, its but a small pittance compared to all other genres. Hollywood will go where the money is and there isn't much money to be made in sadness.
Because your "logic"(and I use that term very loosely) relies on the FALSE idea that people aren't already aware of the realities of events in the world. Hate to break it to you champ, but lack of knowledge isn't why stuff doesn't get done. It's a combination of things, some of it is apathy(a lot of people just don't fucking care if people are getting killed on the other side of the world), some of it is just not knowing what to do or HOW to change things. Like, you can ask thousands of people if they want ISIS wiped out, and they'll all say yeah. But most of them don't want to go over there, they don't want their family members or kids or spouses going over there, they don't want their friends going over there, etc. Or they want to remove corruption in government, but HOW? The vast majority of people ALREADY KNOW about ISIL, Boko Haram, drone strikes, and every other fucking thing you mentioned. Showing it to them in movies isn't gonna make them any more aware than they ALREADY ARE. And if things aren't getting done with them already being aware, showing it to them in movies isn't gonna make them do anything more than they're already done. There is absolutely NO logic in claiming otherwise, so no matter how many times you repeat your flawed idea it STILL REMAINS a flawed idea.
And only a total fucking moron would think if more movies showed the "harsh realities of event" that things would get done. You know what would get done if people left movies depressed? People would go to fewer fucking movies, and spend more time binge watching old shows on Netflix, or playing video games, or beating off to internet porn or whatever else they normally do for entertainment when they're not watching movies.
Because far too many live is such a reality. Fuck you for imagining I need my nose rubbed into it.
But congratulate yourself on that zero perspective on other peoples' lives that have this absurd belief that others are ignorant.
But I should wonder if those such as yourself wouldn't benefit by living in the midst of it in penury and zero means to protect yourself.
But hey, what reality are you living in that imagines that saying anything on a game forum will do anything to change things?
"I don't see why people can't follow the logic..."
Really..? What have you done to change things "for the better?"
yea...nothing.
