This fall, Hollywood will be trying 香蕉视频直播 with everything from swaggering historical epics like 香蕉视频直播淕ladiator II香蕉视频直播 to the high-seas adventure of 香蕉视频直播淢oana 2香蕉视频直播 香蕉视频直播 to capture the nation香蕉视频直播檚 attention at a time when much of it will be directed at the polls.

Already, Hollywood has played a co-starring role in the . The Democratic Convention in August was packed with .

Hollywood, famously progressive, has always had to strike a balance between the liberal leanings of the majority of its creatives with the big-tent demands of pop culture. In recent years, that香蕉视频直播檚 grown increasingly tricky.

At the same time, the movie industry, after several years hobbled by pandemic and strikes, is striving to recapture its all-audiences populism 香蕉视频直播 and all the billions that can come with it. Disney chief Robert A. Iger last year signaled the need 香蕉视频直播渢o entertain first,香蕉视频直播 adding 香蕉视频直播渋t香蕉视频直播檚 not about messages.香蕉视频直播

This past summer, Disney led Hollywood out of a box-office slump with a pair of billion-earners in and Ticket sales for the summer rose to $3.7 billion, according to Comscore 香蕉视频直播 less than the traditional $4 billion benchmark but significantly better than initially feared after

One of the fall香蕉视频直播檚 likeliest candidates to continue the trend is 香蕉视频直播淢oana 2.香蕉视频直播 Dwayne Johnson, who returns as the voice of Maui, earlier this year in the election out of concern for the division it would cause.

Like many of the films opening this fall, 香蕉视频直播淢oana 2香蕉视频直播 (opening Nov. 27), as a story about a strong female protagonist and a celebration of Pacific Islander culture, could resonate very differently, depending on the outcome of the election.

香蕉视频直播淚f it resonates for people in a different way, I can香蕉视频直播檛 control that,香蕉视频直播 says Dana Ledoux Miller, who directed 香蕉视频直播淢oana 2香蕉视频直播 with David Derrick Jr. and Jason Hand. 香蕉视频直播淚香蕉视频直播檓 so excited about what this story is and what it means to be a person in a community who wants something more for the world they live in and for the future. We香蕉视频直播檒l see what happens, but the movie is what it is.香蕉视频直播

Movies this year have largely only approached political themes from a distance. by Alex Garland, imagined the U.S. in all-out warfare. directed by Tony Gerber and Jesse Moss, gathered real political figures for an insurrection simulation.

But 香蕉视频直播 will offer the movie version of an October surprise. The film, the release of which , stars Sebastian Stan as a young Donald Trump under the tutelage of Roy Cohn (Jeremy Strong). The Trump campaign has called it 香蕉视频直播渆lection interference by Hollywood elites.香蕉视频直播 Its director, Ali Abbasi, argues filmmakers have a responsibility to face current politics head-on.

香蕉视频直播淚香蕉视频直播檝e been hearing a lot: Let香蕉视频直播檚 make a movie about the Second World War or the Civil War 香蕉视频直播 just go back in time,香蕉视频直播 says Abbasi. 香蕉视频直播淭hey say a Civil War movie is a good metaphor for the way our society is now. I香蕉视频直播檓 like: Our society is extremely exciting, complex, complicated, has huge problems and opportunities. Why not address them? We have a (expletive) responsibility.香蕉视频直播

As usual this fall, studios will trot out a new wave of awards contenders. Unlike last year, when came into the season the clear favorite, no such frontrunner has yet emerged. At the Venice, Telluride, Toronto and New York film festivals, notable premieres include Todd Phillips香蕉视频直播 anticipated sequel 香蕉视频直播淛oker: Folie 脿 Deux,香蕉视频直播 Edward Berger香蕉视频直播檚 香蕉视频直播淐onclave,香蕉视频直播 Marielle Heller香蕉视频直播檚 香蕉视频直播淣ightbitch,香蕉视频直播 Malcolm Washington香蕉视频直播檚 香蕉视频直播淭he Piano Lesson,香蕉视频直播 Steve McQueen香蕉视频直播檚 香蕉视频直播淏litz香蕉视频直播 and LaMell Ross香蕉视频直播檚 香蕉视频直播淣ickel Boys.香蕉视频直播

Standouts from earlier festivals will also mix in, like and But, at least for now, the Oscar race appears wide open.

香蕉视频直播淓milia P茅rez,香蕉视频直播 about a Mexican drug lord who transitions into a woman, is just one of the many musicals landing in theaters. Some studios have recently run from the label of 香蕉视频直播渕usical香蕉视频直播; last December香蕉视频直播檚 香蕉视频直播淲onka香蕉视频直播 wasn香蕉视频直播檛 advertised as such. But this fall, no matter what香蕉视频直播檚 happening on the news, it won香蕉视频直播檛 be hard to find song and dance on the big screen.

That includes 香蕉视频直播淛oker: Folie 脿 Deux,香蕉视频直播 香蕉视频直播淢oana 2香蕉视频直播 and the two-part adaptation of the Broadway show 香蕉视频直播淲icked!香蕉视频直播 香蕉视频直播 not to mention biopics on Robbie Williams (香蕉视频直播淏etter Man香蕉视频直播) and Bob Dylan (香蕉视频直播淎 Complete Unknown,香蕉视频直播 with Timoth茅e Chalamet).

香蕉视频直播淲icked香蕉视频直播 director Jon M. Chu and producer Marc Platt were confident enough in their film, starring Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande, that they opted to split it into two. (Part two will release in November 2025.) 香蕉视频直播淲icked,香蕉视频直播 opening Nov. 22, will open against 香蕉视频直播淕ladiator II香蕉视频直播 in the fall香蕉视频直播檚 most -like weekend matchup.

In 香蕉视频直播淲icked,香蕉视频直播 which imagines the story behind the opposing witches of 香蕉视频直播淭he Wizard of Oz,香蕉视频直播 Platt sees a story with plenty of relevance to the current political climate.

香蕉视频直播淚t香蕉视频直播檚 a significant election for both of us,香蕉视频直播 says Platt. 香蕉视频直播淏ut our story aspires to be about the distance people travel to connect with each other, about seeing the other as not the other, about living in a world where sometimes the truth is not real.香蕉视频直播

Some films are taking some novel approaches to storytelling. Morgan Neville香蕉视频直播檚 香蕉视频直播淧iece by Piece香蕉视频直播 tells Pharrell Williams香蕉视频直播 story with Lego bricks. Robert Zemeckis香蕉视频直播 香蕉视频直播淗ere,香蕉视频直播 starring Tom Hanks, has the appearance of a film shot in one take. In 香蕉视频直播淏etter Man,香蕉视频直播 Williams is portrayed by computer-generated monkey.

In festival screenings of midway through the movie a man has walked on stage and addressed a question to the screen. Coppola, who financed the film himself, spent years steadily building 香蕉视频直播淢egalopolis,香蕉视频直播 a future-set epic about a visionary (Adam Driver). In cynical times, it香蕉视频直播檚 brashly optimistic, even utopian.

香蕉视频直播淵ou never turn on CNN or open the newspaper to: 香蕉视频直播楬uman Being Is an Unbelievable Genius.香蕉视频直播 But it香蕉视频直播檚 true. How can you deny it?香蕉视频直播 at the Cannes Film Festival. 香蕉视频直播淭hink of what we can do. A hundred years ago they said man will never fly. Now we香蕉视频直播檙e zooming around. So I ask myself: Why is it that no one dare say how great we are? There香蕉视频直播檚 no problem that we香蕉视频直播檙e facing that we香蕉视频直播檙e not ingenious enough to solve.香蕉视频直播

While Coppola was making his conception of a modern-day Roman epic, Scott was a making the genuine article. During the making of 香蕉视频直播淕ladiator II,香蕉视频直播 Scott 香蕉视频直播 a self-professed news junkie 香蕉视频直播 continually felt that his film was far from ancient history. unspooled during the film香蕉视频直播檚 making, the director noted.

香蕉视频直播淵ou are living during what I call democracy against tyrants, tyranny,香蕉视频直播 says Scott. 香蕉视频直播淲e香蕉视频直播檙e looking in this film as about tyrannical leadership against people who try to rectify that. When is history not about that?香蕉视频直播
