'''Hollywood "values"''' (also known today as '''HollyWOKE''' or '''HollyWEIRD''' '''"values"''') is immorality promoted by the [[American]] film industry, characterized by spreading sexually transmitted [[disease]]s, public obscenities, [[decadence]], [[narcissism]], [[hypocrisy]], rampant [[drug|drug use]], [[abortion]], [[adultery]], [[lawlessness]], [[violence]] and the promotion of the [[homosexual agenda]] and [[cultural marxism]].

The lack of [[morals]] and differences of [[values]] in [[Hollywood]] culture have been destroying the fabric of American culture, particularly the family.  While [[Leftist]]s whined about the blacklisting of [[communist]]s in Hollywood, the [[Academy Awards]] cabal excluded many great performers from ever being even nominated for an Oscar.<ref>https://www.indiewire.com/2016/01/30-great-actors-whove-never-been-oscar-nominated-90109/</ref> In 2022, a pro-[[homosexual agenda]] movie described as a piece of garbage by a veteran actor (''[[The Power of the Dog]]'') won a near-record 12 [[Oscar]] nominations.

While before 1945 forms of "[[art]]" which appealed to the lowest and basest instincts of man or deliberately portrayed man as completely immoral were confined to a small circle among the "elite" of the decadent, parasitic intelligentsia, after the war this content was popularized on a large scale and pushed for mass consumption to the American people, with Hollywood playing the lead role in this popularization. The barriers between 'esoteric' art and mass kitsch were dismantled with increasing vigor. The cinema (and also radio and literature) started spreading to the widest extent the uninhibited venting of even the worst instincts. The constant increase in juvenile delinquency, starting from the late 1940s and early 1950s, demonstrates the results of such 'social pedagogics'.<ref name="thecharnelhouse.org">[https://thecharnelhouse.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/Georg-Luka%3Fcs-The-Destruction-of-Reason-1952.pdf Destruction of Reason] by Georg Lukacs </ref>

It was important for the (liberal) ruling class to "re-educate" men of the post-war generation by tempering them to a sort of barbarism, to the brutal and merciless imposition of their selfish interests, which necessarily implies a hypocritical attitude as the way to adapt to the [[Social Darwinism|Social-Darwinist]] "struggle for existence". In the field of cinema, this kind of pedagogy necessarily produces movies that either openly preach banditry, [[gangster]]ism, and murder (such as movies in [[Adolf Hitler|Hitler's]] [[Nazi Germany|Germany]] did, but also American gangster films do), or subtly place the individual in the social void, and cloud the sense of the real connection with society in his consciousness, degrade and reduce the intellect and reason to impotence, which these relationships reflect and elaborate, finally transforming man himself into an unethical lump of uncontrollable instincts. In relation to children, this is passed off as "respect" for the individual character of the child. But it means, in fact, the renunciation of pedagogy, and it comes, in the best of cases, to reduce young American children to a herd of lonely hysterics who end up following this wrong path often to become gangsters.<ref>https://thecharnelhouse.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/Gyo%3Frgy-Luka%3Fcs-La-letteratura-sovietica-1955.pdf</ref>

Usually (and falsely), this glorification of the unleashing of the worst instincts, hypocrisy, immorality, etc. in Hollywood movies is advertised by Hollywood as "[[realism]]". Granted, some of the negative values promoted in these films do exist in American society (and the film industry is partly responsible for their spread). However, there exists a great fundamental difference between the realistic mode of representation that calls a spade a spade, and the deliberate overt aggrandization and idealization of every kind of negativity as something not just typical but praiseworthy and exemplar (the glorification of the [[Ku Klux Klan]] in ''Birth of a Nation'', of the Mafia in gangster films, of street gangs in hood films, etc.).<ref name="thecharnelhouse.org"/>

It was a characteristic of the Hitler regime that, by skillful propaganda through the use of the cinema and movie industry, it led essentially and harmlessly mediocre people, sometimes even gifted ones, into becoming accomplices and indeed active participants in terrible crimes and barbaric deeds of inhumanity. Without such 'social pedagogics' (like the widely promoted "The Eternal Jew", "Süss the Jew" and other such movies), [[Auschwitz]], for example, would not have been possible.<ref name="thecharnelhouse.org"/>

*Joan Crawford (real name Lucille Fay LeSueur), last of Hollywood's "movie queens" with roles spanning 45 years (1925-1970, most of her popularity in the 1930s) and long since a [[homosexual]] [[idol]], was married and divorced three times and named as the 'other woman' in at least one affair with a married man. Her fourth and last marriage to [[PepsiCo, Inc|Pepsi Company]]'s president Alfred Steele was the only one ending in death (his in 1959). When she died in 1977, her public disinheriting of her two oldest remaining adopted children from her $2M estate "for reasons that should be well known to them" was said to have caused her oldest daughter, Christina, to write her best-selling book ''Mommie Dearest'' (1978, adapted into film in 1981), which alleged a lifetime of [[Adultery|extramarital affairs]], [[alcoholism]] and selfishness-based [[child abuse]] at a time when child abuse was rarely talked about in public. Unfortunately, like her adoptive mother, Christina also got married and divorced three times in her own lifetime.

*Frances Farmer, who was the subject of a 1982 biopic starring Jessica Lange (who herself adopted Frances' lifestyle into her own real life), as a [[public school]]er in 1931 denied God in a controversial award-winning high school essay called ''God Dies'' and in 1935 visited the [[USSR]], was also popular in the 1930s to the point of being considered "the next Greta Garbo", and had three marriages, at least two of which ended in divorce, with extramarital affairs during at least one that included one with married playwright Clifford Odets. She also had a then-illegal [[abortion]] which left her sterile; the guilt of which caused her to avoid all contact with children. In 1958, however, when she moved to [[Indianapolis]] (she died there in 1970 at age 56), a friend's child whispered to her "I love you because you're good", something that nobody ever said or maybe even thought about her before. Soon afterward, she went to St. [[Joan of Arc]] Catholic Church where she went to [[confession]] of all her sins and took up classes about and in 1959 was baptized into the Catholic faith, turning away from her former lifestyle, at least until a 1963 arrest for drunk driving.
