style vs. content in writing (nazi uniforms in hollywood)

sometimes it's not what you write you, but most of the time: it's about how you write about it... people speak of fashion every sunday in the newspaper magazines, people always stress the need for style... to be frank? yes: you can write about the most exciting event in world history, but then write it like a yawn, checking for the psychopaths that never manage to replicate a yawn right after you yawned, to replicate a human-togetherness... but then you can end up writing about the most absurdly boring events of life, and write it, like easing out or stressing out a fart... and everyone's laughing, but all you managed to do is fry a really shitty omellete... the nazis will forever be complimented on their style, the nazis will become the "good" guys given their fashion sense... everyone compliments the uniforms, so many films about the 2nd world war have been made, actors seem to be itchy to wear a nazi uniform... and that's the truth. the polish winged hussar uniform is probably 2nd in the rank of desirable attire for movies... but sometimes you can really make a sloppy pancake from something grand, because you wrote the event like a yawn... then you can really make a soufflé from something miserable, something grey, something everyday... and then you hear a fart... everyone laughs, and then engages in the blame-game... who dun it? and that's true, people reach for the top shelves of history, and think the exciting event will provide them with an exciting encoding of the end, it never happens like that, then sometimes think that the most enduring, most modest, most boring acts in life will never becoming epics of script, and that's where they're wrong... it doesn't take a war to excite the writing, sometimes, the most mundane of all possible aretefacts of people tattooing the earth with an imprint, can become the most soul-devestating to adrenaline-junkies... but at least resourceful... and whenever you use "complicated" words easily, investing in the vocabulary bank, and then spew, like a drunk girl on the streets of harlow, and you can see the words cling together, and see that no "trick" of subversion took place, i.e. using the thesaurus... you can spot the use of thesaurus in novels most prominently... but it's there: sometimes the subject matter may seem exciting, and it is, but with they way it's presented, it's hardly worth a mention... and then the most mundane event in the history of man, repeated exponentially, but depicted in a transcendental way, can claim navigating superiority over the "grand" events... like state funerals... i.e.? he can dress himself as a god: but end up speaking like an idiot... most of the time, i've learned, it's not what you write about, rather, how you write about it... the "why" is equally spread between the two approaches; the former usually requires much volume, and becomes a novel, the latter? most probably is a sort of poetry.
