This book is a study in the nature of the preferred messages of the small narrowly-defined Hollywood control group, that has for nearly 90-years, been able to use the very powerful communications medium of the motion picture as a propaganda vehicle for those very messages.
This work grew out of the observed frustration of film industry critics who have chosen to criticize specific Hollywood movies over the years only to be rebuffed by the overly simplistic studio arguments that such films reflect the real world and that moviegoers vote with their pocket books. After all, if it can be shown that there is a consistent pattern to the choices Hollywood studio executives make with respect to the movies produced and released and the specific content of those movies, it becomes obvious that Hollywood is selectively portraying reality and that moviegoers only have limited options among all of the possibilities that could be portrayed on the silver screen, thus suggesting that their "vote at the box office" is a fair choice is disingenuous.
