Those might serve as door-openers in a popular culture that has been nearly shut down by virus and strife.
But what Hollywood most needs is something that may or may not be forever out of reach. That is, a movie that actually moves us. Not all of us, of course. Nation-wide intellectual and emotional unanimity isn’t possible, nor even desirable. The notion of 330 million people thinking and feeling exactly the same way is scarier than our scariest disagreements.
