Woke Hollywood Fails Again: Audiences Demand Authentic Narratives
Submitted by MAGA
Posted 3 hours ago
The catastrophic failure of Kelly Tran's latest film, "The Wedding Banquet," is a stark reminder that Hollywood's relentless push for woke content often alienates the very audiences it seeks to engage.
The movie, which aimed to capitalize on identity politics and the LGBTQ+ narrative, made a dismal $922,906 over its opening weekend after being released in 1,142 theaters.
This abysmal performance raises significant questions about the entertainment industry's ongoing obsession with wokeness.
By attempting to pander to a niche audience that prioritizes representation over storytelling, the filmmakers seem to have overlooked what most people actually want: authentic narratives that resonate with everyday life.
Despite critical acclaim—boasting an 88% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes—the overwhelming audience negativity highlights a growing dissatisfaction with content that appears more interested in pushing an agenda than providing genuine entertainment.
For many, the film’s plot, revolving around a convoluted scheme involving immigration and IVF treatments among queer characters, is simply not relatable.
This should serve as a wake-up call for filmmakers still clinging to the misguided belief that pure identity politics can substitute for compelling storytelling.
In contrast, audiences have flocked to films with strong moral foundations, such as Angel Studios' "King of Kings," which raked in over $17.3 million, showcasing that there is still a strong market for films rooted in tradition and values.
This is not merely a box office tally; it is a clear indication that viewers are tired of automatically politicized content, a lesson that Hollywood seems reluctant to accept.
As conservatives, we must keep advocating for stories that uplift and inspire, not those that attempt to indoctrinate through heavy-handed messaging.
In the end, this box office blunder underscores a vital truth: Get woke, and you just might go broke.
