For years, it has been the conventional wisdom that Hollywood was “only in it for the money”.
If that were the case, they would be making nothing but films like “The Passion of the Christ” and “American Sniper”.
Their howling criticism of these kind of films, which do so well at the box office, just proves their agenda.
Would rather it just be money. Then we would have some decent movies to watch.

As much as I am not really a Medved fan, he made this point way back in his 1992 book I think it was. All factors of Hollywood are driven by those with an agenda to push. The big money is made by Toy Story and other family movies. No one watched “The Last Temptation of Christ” for example. Weirdly, they are willing to lose money to make their point. I am not sure why this is. I am sure shareholders of Universal, Sony, ect would rather make money, but they don't seem to be calling the shots.
