Hollywood does not understand Middle America, and it certainly does not understand and, in fact, despises, the core values of the country.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Unfortunately, many talented people in Hollywood find their values and politics do not reflect the content they create, and many movie themes are in direct contrast with over half of today's American families.
I think Hollywood makes the mistake of mixing all these identities and cultures, mostly from the Middle East.
I didn't even understand the whole idea of Hollywood.
The problem in Hollywood is that they try to become the only kind of cinema in the world, okay? The imposition everywhere of a unique culture, which is Hollywood culture, and a unique way of life, which is the American way of life.
Hollywood is much more than America. Hollywood belongs to all of the planet.
I don't think I ever understood Hollywood.
We Americans have always considered Hollywood, at best, a sinkhole of depraved venality. And, of course, it is. It is not a protective monastery of aesthetic truth. It is a place where everything is incredibly expensive.
I don't give a damn about Hollywood.
Hollywood doesn't even have respect for itself. Hollywood lies to itself.
I believe 'Hollywood' is more like middle America than many people imagine.
