Ryan Murphy's fabulous redo of Hollywood in the 1940s was trying to take on racism, homophobia, and sexism in the entertainment industry. While its colorful visuals plus its bold concept dazzled eyes, its rushed story left its audience wanting much more from it. As a film, Hollywood could have produced a dramatic core story that equally emphasized social commentary and emotional feeling. A tighter, feature-length format would have made the impact of themes all the more telling, and the "what ifs" of Tinseltown could have been probed much more poignantly.
