Part 15/16:

The Deeper Implications and the Future of Hollywood

Ultimately, Hollywood remains a reflection of human nature—a reflection often marred by greed, hypocrisy, and desire for superficial gratitude. The cycle of exploitation persists, masked by spectacle and virtue-signaling. The elites enjoy their private clubs, exclusive events, and curated images, while the average person increasingly recognizes the disconnect.

The challenge moving forward is whether society will demand genuine accountability or continue to indulge in the illusion of progress. The industry’s history suggests that without systemic overhaul, these patterns will persist: powerful figures abusing their position, others complicit or silent, and society distracted by surface-level scandals and superficial virtue.
