Several weeks ago, I tried to articulate some of the despair that can infuse Hollywood, both for people who've had success here and for those who haven't. At some point I'd like to return to this topic, but I also think it's important to voice a corrective to it, or if not quite a corrective, then at least an expression of the beautiful side of Hollywood, its siren call, its social value.
I'm always struggling to articulate exactly why watching this movie feels so transcendent. Describing its fantastic craftsmanship never seems to be enough. This piece, though, starts to put into words the near religious thrill of this movie. Well said!
