Hollywood is Crumbling!

Hollywood is the Borg, just less honest about it.
It sucked up all competition and removed diversity in content.
Even worse, it stopped making films that were relevant to audiences.

You cannot make films for China and US at the same time-their cultures are totally different.
This is one reason why movies are so infantile now.
The other reason is that Hollywood stopped hiring people from Middle America.
In the old days-most of the most important filmmakers came from different parts of the US.
John Huston was born in Missouri.
Howard Hawks Indiana. John Ford, Maine. DW Griffith-Kentucky.

They brought their heritage to their work.

These days, Hollywood would rather have a Spanish or Korean making a film with a cast from Kenya, Israel, and Australia.
And they reject traditional storytelling and fairy tale styles--so the hero (if white) has to be a nerd or a failure of some kind.
There has to be an all too obvious social engineering message.

It is much less audience friendly.

Compare to the 1930s when RKO, not one of the big studios--but US founded, made the FX-heavy King Kong. None of the other studios even attempted something like it-and they had the money.

Walt Disney did feature length animation when few others did.

Even Republic Pictures did the first superhero movie.

Or the 1960s when you had smaller companies like AIP, Hammer, Amicus, Tigon, Towers Productions, films out of Spain and Italy and France and Japan. Lots of audience-friendly movies.

So it is a problem with the Hollywood management.
And these days there is no reason for film to be based in Hollywood anyway. They had to go there because of patent issues and the weather. Or because film developing was based there or New York.
Those days are over.

Hollywood is so corrupt and myopic it has alienated the audiences that film was invented for initially.


Consider the fantastic hypocrisy-they gave an award to the Handmaid's Tale-about women being abused by a christian totalitarian regime. Is the abuse happening in Hollywood being done by white Christian men? Oy! The hypocrisy!

Seems hypocritcal to celebrate the fall of Hollywood, but protect Republican politicians who are just as heinous.
