Document Summary
Hollywood must have some moral content/ability to affect our lives. Film is very powerful way of getting across ideas. Live in an age of declining influence of major institutions. Just like the godfather, he would speak his lines in real life. Evidence we live in a much more individualized, normless life. Look for characters who we emulate and admire (novels in the beginning of modernity, moreso film) Critics of hollywood argue it"s such an individualized culture, lack of community building. Maybe hollywood itself is globa, rather than being an american industry that"s dominating the world . National product on global market: crouching tiger, hidden dragon. Bery much a chinese film shaped for a global audience, china"s entry into film market. Do alejandro inarritu and alfonso cuaron make mexican films. Inarritu won best director for revenant and birdman (mexican) Mexican directors 3 years in a row. But birdman, gravity, and revenant are not mexican films.
