Why? Good movies can do a lot of good in the world. It’s a medium, and like any other, it can be used very positively.
1. Hollywood isn't going away. Such wishful thinking is like the guys pushing gold and doomsday shelters and economic doom newsletters, and reminds me of Mean Girls....it's not going to happen.
2. Hollywood and Hollyweird are two separate tribes (ask max). True, the studios and many major players may push wokey nonsense, but they like cash. Peak domestic box office take was $12bn in 2018. Top Gun has the potential to become a major draw in 2022 AND historic terms. It is pulling in not just older people but across ALL demographics. Go figya...ya stop trashing gthe values that make America great and you make a fortune. In fact, they way how you don't know if the Enemy is Russia, China, or Norway (that was great) means our TRUE enemies will PAY TO SEE THEMSELVES LOSE! Genius, and even wokey people like lobster vs tuna.
3. Wither Hollyweird. The studios will take note of Top Gun's success and the failure of wokey nonsens. In every profession, consultants push this and that idea...some take root but over time the bad ones die. If you see Top Gun AND Boycott stupid stuff, they'll notice.
4. You'll feel good. Before the film, they ran a self-serving short with Nicole Kidman suggesting that movies are good for your soul. Well...call me maleable, she was right. I felt good about America, the future, our past, and how to advance after the film. It is THAT GOOD.
Good, nay GREAT art helps the soul. It moves you in a way like no other media. This is great art. Let's use the Invisible Hand to hasten the demise (or at least retrenchment) of Hollyweird.
