Part 2/7:
Klavan argues that Hollywood is "done" in terms of being a leading voice in American culture. He asserts that the studios have lost control, indicating that what remains is an increasingly narrow view dominated by a “monoculture” that prioritizes leftist narratives. The metrics he cites include the decline in viewership for award shows like the Oscars, suggesting that the values portrayed in modern films do not resonate with the broader audience. He references the peak of Hollywood in 1939, noting that films produced then were not only popular but artistically significant—contrasting sharply with today’s offerings.
