    ppl are convinced Hollywood is self congratulatory...but the whole point is that Hollywood, the industry, didn't actually do any of this and still doesn't. It's an anti hagiography.1

        compare to once upon a time in hollywood, where the point is that white guy cowboys are awesome and hollywood would have been perfect if you could have just killed off these (admittedly evil) hippie outsiders.

        Hollywood is all about how Hollywood would have been great if it wasn't so racist, homophobic, sexist, antisemitic,and cowardly. But...that's an indictment, right? It's saying Hollywood was racist, homophobic, sexist, antisemitic and cowardly...and that it still is.

        "wouldn't it be great if life were like this" is a condemnation of the fact that life isn't like that.

        yes, Hollywood is a glib happy ending delivery system...but would it be better if it were a grim realistic depiction of how hollywood shattered the dreams of marginalized people? surely marginalized ppl get enough bleak endings in popular culture.

        and is it really glib to very self consciously say, "you know, Hollywood provides glib happy empowerment content to white guys all the time; let's give glib happy empowerment fantasies to other people for a change."https://www.nbcnews.com/think/opinion/netflix-s-hollywood-star-studded-fantasy-its-sentimentality-hides-harsh-ncna1197396 …

        some ppl have said it doesn't show real organization and real struggle...and films like that are valuable. But again, does content for marginalized people always have to be grim and earnest?https://www.nbcnews.com/think/opinion/netflix-s-hollywood-star-studded-fantasy-its-sentimentality-hides-harsh-ncna1197396 …

        nailing marginalized people to realism and misery and struggle is not exactly avoiding stereotype either...

        I feel like it's the same line of criticism that condemns romance novels for being escapist. escapism can be bad in some contexts...but it can also be a critique of a world that won't live up to its potential and its pixie dust.https://www.nbcnews.com/think/opinion/netflix-s-hollywood-star-studded-fantasy-its-sentimentality-hides-harsh-ncna1197396 …

        I mean, for what it's worth, I was *very* pleased to see a Jewish person get to triumph by finding her capacity to make great art and change the world and work in solidarity with other people, rather than being saved by some gentile.

        idk; I didn't watch Glee. I feel like people have issues with Murphy and maybe that's why they had less patience for Hollywood. I loved it though.

        I think it's important that Hollywood actually portrays a world that's *more* progressive not only than 40s Hollywood but than 2020's Hollywood.

        like big budget Hollywood homosexual male romances are still not things that are often made...and black women don't win best actress very often...

        it also matters that Hollywood isn't a film. television actually does better with representation than movies do, often. film has critiqued the unadventurous of television a lot; this is a rarer instance of television criticizing the unadventurousness of film.
