      30. So: "Hail, Caesar!" not just movie about movie-making but also calls attention to how it itself part of glamorizing of Hollywood.

      31. Link movie makes with Catholicism & Hollywood is more than superficial: film is the Catholic art form par excellance

      32. Catholic church has always been attuned to visual arts as liturgical expressions, hence more engaged with film than Protestants.

      33. It's no accident that Catholic Church took lead in trying to regulate Hollywood: they knew a rival when they saw one.

      34. To return to Marxism: thematically the film is a sequel to "Barton Fink." Both are Shachtmanite critiques of the popular front.

      35. For Shachtmanites & Trotskyist in general, Popular Front was false-radicalism in the service of sentimentality & Stalinism.

      36. Barton Fink embodies Popular Front sentimentality about common man & socialist realism & HC screenwriters are Stalinists.

      37. Worth remembering Coen's have abiding interest in failures & defeats of American left: https://storify.com/miniver/the-coen-brothers-and-the-defeat-of-the-american-l …

      38. The betrayal of Stalinism lurks behind "Hail, Caesar!" (Again, title is relevant). Final music in movie is Red Army choir.

      39. In "Hail, Caesar!" religion offers shallow consolation & Marxism betrayed by Stalin. All we have left is Hollywood.

      40. In conclusion: "Hail, Caesar!" is not minor Coen Bros. It's a profound film, whose stature will rise upon repeated viewings.

          41. PS. Almost all Coen Bros. movies defeat reviewers because films reveal themselves only after being lived with and re-watched.

          @HeerJeet The best thing about "Hail, Caesar!" was how all the "actors" depicted also had genuine talent, and deserved to be "stars."

          @HeerJeet It's minor in its effect, not its reach. Emotionally flatter than, eg, A Serious Man.
