These days, in Hollywood, you can either make mindless blockbusters or politically correct propaganda; no one is concerned with art. Art requires an open mind. Real artists must actually beguile the public with a truth so astonishing that they cannot live another moment without experiencing your film or whatever. The liberal media prefers to browbeat the public into submission. True creativity might awaken the audience and make them demand more of the same, thus interrupting the Hollywood franchise gravy train. That said, not only yourself, whose reviews I always read with enjoyment, but my son, born in Beverly Hills and weaned on Hollywood cynicism, liked "Birdman." So perhaps Michael Keaton really did do something noteworthy, as you say. thomasorourkeactor.blogspot.comMarcy Casterline O'Rourkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11891111277777024917noreply@blogger.com
