Not everyone follows Hollywood which helps in part explain the fragmentation in society.

Exactly. All of the past major popular culture drivers, including TV, Hollywood film industry, and major music labels still have some cultural power, but nowhere near what they once did. Many people have switched to alternatives like indie releases and streaming or just dropped out from watching/listening altogether. The fragmentation was happening before the rise of the Internet, but the Internet has really pushed it. I have many friends who almost never watch TV because they watch streaming or YouTube instead.
 
I just saw it yesterday, and I thought it was wonderful 👍. It reminded me of how much I dislike the way so many of us celebrate mean people now who constantly put others down, both in media and in politics. I wish there were more people like Fred Rogers to show us a better way, but it seems he was one of a kind.

How can you separate Hollywood from politics! That is why I seldom go to the movies because I refuse to pay money to watch a film with these Hollywood elite who want to spout off. And face it, most of the movies made in Hollywood anymore are just not that good.

I can find more to watch on TCM that is in black and white and 60 or 70 years old.

Yes, very true. Hollywood has a very left leaning agenda and it spills out in most of all that they put on the screen in movies and television anymore. I watched an extremely small amount of what they are selling today. We would be better to make them very irrelevant.

I agree 100% @MagdalenaRita

Hollywood has corrupted the minds of many of our youth and young adults whose minds are very impressionable.
I speak from my own experience.
It has taken me many years to “wake up”
to the fact that Hollywood has more on its mind than making movies.
