Sullivan's Travels (1941)
As proven by this movie, criticizing Hollywood for being shallow has been the most fashionable movie cliche for the first-level of self-aware filmmakers for at least seventy years. However, where this movie finds its genius is in going so far to criticize those who criticize Hollywood. Yes, this movie is a self-gratifying romp that mocks lying movie producers, struggling actresses, idealistic writers and anybody else associated with making movies. Not even homeless people (during the Great Depression) can't escape a good scolding.
The joy of being unapologetic...
I'm tired and don't have the words right now.
