The great irony of Hollywood is that Americans are starting to define themselves in terms of Shadow America, which was created by Eastern European Jewish immigrants — Eastern European Jewish immigrants who couldn’t fit into the real America.
So these immigrants and their second generation used their street smarts to get into New York's clothing industry first, and thus into the new film industry. And in the 1920s, it entered the theater industry to obtain funds, then established large-scale film companies, and finally integrated into a closely related industry chain.
The background of the story of "Hollywood" produced by Netflix is focused on the special period of the peak of Hollywood's golden age. Although "Hollywood" has a positive and optimistic outlook, it is a rare creation of producer Ryan Murphy's optimistic tone. , thriller, and horror, but after watching the series, viewers may be stunned by the real cruelty in real life.
In this play, the main line of the fictional protagonist and the fictional company connects the big events and big star prototypes of this era, and finally shows them in the form of multiple perspectives. It's just that the prototypes of these real characters and the background of the big time have been idealized and virtualized for a utopian interpretation. In the film, you can see the representative real superstars at that time, but also see their unreal past that has been "idealized". For example, the movie "Meg" starring a black star won an Oscar; Rock Hudson came out early without caring about his homosexuality; Anna May Wang (Anna May Wong) also won an Oscar, and so on. A romantic but unreal plot.
Perhaps in the eyes of some people, what they are looking forward to is to present the thickness of the past that was intoxicated, extravagant, and full of gender, sexuality, and racial discrimination. But what this show presents is such an inspirational and passionate fan story of the protagonists in an overly glorified environment. So that the final product has a well-made, full of vision but lost the deep core. It is not wrong to be full of passion for acting and to pursue the dream of stardom. What is wrong is that an idealistic story with only horizontal width but no core depth has been bred in the background of its own historical paragraphs full of explosions and legends.
