Filmmaker Amanda Milius told Breitbart News on Monday that Hollywood undermined its own influence over America by abandoning conservatives.

Ambition within the entertainment industry blocks Hollywood insiders from publicly criticizing false orthodoxies espoused by their peers, Milius stated on SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Daily with host Alex Marlow, author of Breaking the News: Exposing the Establishment Media’s Hidden Deals and Secret Corruption. She noted Tinseltown’s decades of direct and indirect left-wing political advocacy.

“What Hollywood is — and what it’s always been — is a bunch of people who seek relevance and influence more than anything,” she remarked. “Nobody’s going to say the emperor has no clothes. Nobody is going to turn around and say, ‘This thing we’ve dedicated ourselves to — changing American culture and this sort of cultural Marxist point of view [has] snowballed out of control.'”

Milius pointed to the Oscars ceremony’s focus on COVID-19 as illustrative of Hollywood’s disconnection from most Americans.

She added, ‘They really are just culturally irrelevant, like this weird COVID ceremony performative thing that they did last night about. That was also part of it. It wasn’t just the usual wokeness. They also had to do this insane hypochondriac performance while they were awarding their wokeness, which was even weirder. … It was totally bizarre, totally out of touch.”

LISTEN:

The New York Times observed the emphasis of the Oscars ceremony on COVID-19, highlighting special procedures implemented by the event’s organizers that were said be done in the interest of health and safety. It wrote, “[The Oscars] had to do it in a Covid-19-safe manner (while continually pointing out that it was doing so).”

Someone who reads what other people wrote for a living and then telling me I am a bad person while they are coming from their million+ dollar homes to arrive at an event in a limo while driving past the democrat party homeless camps and are wearing clothes that cost in the thousands that they only wear one time and holding gift bags worth 10’s of thousands should not be lecturing any one.

...Hollywood undermined its own influence over America

There you go. She is telling you that Hollywood is there to influence you. To program you. Especially your kids.

She's also saying that they better be more discreet so they can influence all of us.

My prayers to God are being answered. Hollywood is circling the drain.

They can take their wand from the holly tree and shove it.

Bottom Line: The Chinese & Indian audiences dwarf the US audience. Hollywood and the NBA would rather speak to those markets than their own. In the end it won’t make any difference as those countries have their own entertainment industries and after Hollywood gets played out, we’ll all be watching Chinese movies.

Saw a spectacularly bad movie with Bruce Willis that was made in China. Some impressive CGI effects, but the main actors were really Chinese.

Amanda Milius isn’t telling the truth; it was never ‘Half of America’. Hollywood, in the business of selling fiction, sold the lie that half the population thought as warped as they did when the truth is that it’s always been a small fraction.
