Watch a Movie and forget about it.

The current so called leader of Saudi Arabia is the new king of hypocrisy. He claimed he was going to reform his country and end corruption. There is no honor among thieves, so after extorting his cousins and uncles out of billions of dollars under the guise of fighting corruption, he turns around and spends the money for his personal gain. Lets give him the benefit of the doubt and assume he didn't extort the money, it still doesn't justify the current shopping spree he is on. How does $450 million dollar piece of art, $300 million chateau in France, and $500 million on a yacht help the people of Saudi Arabia? However in his concern for his people his highness has allowed the ban on movie theaters to be lifted. Why worry about poverty and human rights abuses, when you can go watch a movie. He is brilliant in not only playing his own people but the west. The media and the celebrities will be much more forgiving of his abuses as long as their art is now available to the people of Saudi Arabia. Movies after all are about escapism. Forget about your realities and lose yourself in the world of movies. I wouldn't be surprised to see mentions of the Crown Prince in future tweets from celebrities railing against Trump.
