Art transcends conservatives-versus-liberals and so does the principle of substituting propaganda for art. That's why I don't like what Hollywood has taken away from itself; people who would accept the bad movies if they were preaching who-knows-what-else can speak for themselves. It's a common refrain that people criticize these new movies as a way to secretly criticize what they represent, but to be honest, it's just a lot of really bad movies...
- gamblor956 3y agoHollywood doesn't accept the bad movies just because they're preachy. You speak of Hollywood as if it were a monolithic entity, but it's not. It's liberal, and conservative, socialist and libertarian, worships the rural life and the urban life, tells stories of heroes and villains. Hollywood isn't even united by the desire for profit. While the major studios are driven by profit, a large portion of Hollywood makes movies to be "art" (which usually means serious character-driven movies that aren't about anything in particular.) The smallest portion of Hollywood makes movies to preach...which is the part you seem to be opposed to.
