Part 8/10:
Hollywood’s Bubble and the Road Back to Roots
The ongoing pattern suggests Hollywood exists in a bubble—cut off from mainstream American values. Hollywood elites seem oblivious to the fact that global or politically motivated content doesn’t translate into box office triumphs, especially when the content is overtly ideological or antagonistic to traditional values.
The industry is being warned: return to storytelling that engages universal human experiences, themes of family, love, conflict, and triumph, rather than attempting to reinvent the wheel with political agendas. Films like There Will Be Blood or The Godfather Part II resonate precisely because they tap into timeless stories and themes, not because they serve a political purpose.
