Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is a rigorous critique of Hollywood's treatment of American society, and of its own supposed social and moral superiority. Upton Sinclair, the author, deploys dialectical materialism to attack the industry's capitalist tendencies and its disconnect from real America. Key topics include the Great Depression, Hollywood's self-censorship, and its role in promoting glamorous but unrealistic ideals. Sinclair exposes how the entertainment industry's preoccupation with feeding audiences stories of beautiful people living lavish lives has resulted in movies that create unrealistic expectations and a false sense of morality. The author argues that the industry needs to re-examine its social responsibility to accurately depict the complexities of the real world. In this way, Hollywood could act as an agent for positive societal change.
