Part 10/12:
The Path Forward or the Path to Oblivion?
The industry faces a stark choice: either confront its own failures, shed the ideological straitjacket, and produce content that genuinely resonates with audiences or continue down the path of censorship and virtue signaling—risking further decline and irrelevance. The Snow White cancellation exemplifies how fears of backlash can result in self-censorship that ultimately harms the industry.
One proposed solution is for Hollywood to align with the audience's tastes and values genuinely—creating stories that entertain, inspire, and reflect a diverse but authentic perspective. This would require an honest assessment that the current woke paradigm is detrimental, not just commercially but culturally.
