After years of sexism and racism, Hollywood is now trying to act like every film featuring a female or minority is a public service rather than a multi million dollar profit making industry.

There is no other industry that rewards itself so much for just doing their job (music and advertising following closely behind). However recently there has been an even greater shift as Hollywood is trying to pretend that every film released is a great charitable service rather than just trying to make money. I recently saw an interview with Oprah Winfrey for A Wrinkle in Time and it is sickening how many of the world's injustices they claim to be fixing. For reference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e9jknmSBsMc It's a great book and might even be a great movie but promoting it like this is nauseating. Disney did not spend $103 million on this film to better mankind. They did it for profit. I really wish they'd stop patting themselves on the back and acting so altruistic as a marketing tool for such a money hungry enterprise. Particularly in light of it being a direct response to their own sordid industry.
