This Man Can Save Hollywood
This Man Can Save Hollywood
March 1, 2023Hello and welcome to the premiere episode of The UnScene!
Hollywood is a strange place. Diversity and woke moralizing are becoming poor substitutes for timeless lessons that speak to the broader human condition. With all of this nonsense going on, Tom Cruise’s movies skirt right past the toxic political climate. Even though he might have strong convictions, he never feels compelled to add them into his movies in an attempt to posture at his lowly audience. Could the Tom Cruise approach be the key to saving Hollywood?
