If there is anything Hollywood taught me, it’s to stick it to The Man, which is in a way ironic. After watching the film in class I can understand that this is ironic because Hollywood is part of the problem with The Man. Hollywood is the fancy ties and large checks that suppress freedom and what truly matters. The Hollywood glow is displayed, but almost nothing of true value is.

           

Even though that’s the truth, many sit there in their lavish homes being fed grapes still on the vine, while many others sit in a poor situation. The status of the yacht, it’s symbol, and what Hollywood calls lifetime achievement, does not fool me. The highflying flag can only do so much to protect the welfare of its people before Hollywood and the gold members of society fight back against it. All things considered, the movie we watched in class was a very eye-opening documentary about the hypocritical and barbaric society we live in today.
