The Future of Hollywood and Society: Uncertain but Confronted
As the industry faces tolls from declining attendance, economic restructuring, and overwhelming scandals, many believe Hollywood is approaching a turning point. Already, figures like Netflix and other streaming giants are returning to traditional models, adding ads and refining the content landscape to cater to broader audiences.
Meanwhile, grassroots movements, independent films, and alternative media are rising to fill the void left by the censorship and suppression of the mainstream. The significance of these developments extends into societal values, with younger generations increasingly disillusioned with the mainstream entertainment complex and seeking authenticity elsewhere.
