Part 6/10:
A recent example illustrating the tension within Hollywood’s portrayal of LGBTQ+ stories is the film "Amelia Perez," a transgender-themed movie that garnered both Hollywood praise and audience disdain. Despite being heavily promoted by Hollywood elites and supposedly representing progressive values, critics argue that the film failed to treat transgender issues with the seriousness and depth they deserve. Instead, it was dismissed as superficial or propagandistic, called out by groups like GLAD for lacking authenticity or substantive storytelling.
