I'm 44, I turned 20 in 2000. So I saw the height of the cult of celebrity. I never understood it, and I'm glad to see its decline. I'm glad people are finally seeing past the glamour (a word with a telling etymology by the way) as I always have.
Yes celebs age is over now its tech genius and president age. Those that emulate elon or trump will get perks but the final character type to be exalted is the super heroe like iron man or i should say Jesus Christ messiahs 👍🏽😎🙏🏽💪🏽✝️🙌🏽❤️ the better the fighter and hero the more exalted so lets get in the gym today 💪🏽 and build super armorz and weapons
There are some celebrities that I am a fan of like Johnny Depp, and Queen Latifah But I don’t care where they shop who they date where they live or stuff like that I just really enjoy the work they do on the screen That’s how it should be
@@dfw6558I get that and it should be like that, sadly many people don't think as smartly as you and stress themselves over the fakeness of celebrity PR tactics and their crazy lives.
@@dfw6558 I love movies, and think some actors are pretty good at making me believe the part. Definitely. And I love some music (mostly 80s and 90s music and Salsa, merengue, etc) and think the songs are great, but I never cared about the actual singer and group so much. I agree.
I think a lot is lost. Film and TV has power to impact us and make us think. Due to the short format of most social media, we often lose the elegance of communicating a point in as artistic of a way. Not to say that does not exist in social media, but the time investment, and therefore the impact it has on us, is not as great. Social media is a quantity game in that domain, whereas film or TV was more about quality of material. I'm sure once upon a time, authors were the "celebrities" of their time, but film & TV usurped that. So it's really a medium shift more than a cultural shift imo. I'm not saying we need celebs. God knows I hate the Kardashians. I'm just saying there is value in quality. If anything, social media is more of a problem as it distorts reality terribly. But then, I was never one to follow the personal lives of TV, film, or sports celebs. I just pay attn to their product rather than their lives. 🤷♂️ Sorry for the length. It's an interesting topic to me.
I think it all stems from what talent they bring to the table, but now that talent is being replaced by technology without having to move a muscle, their value in the entertainment industry has dried up. But there is still talent in the world out there, it's just being overshadowed a lot.
@@definitelyadragon1644exactly and there’s nothing wrong with being fans of certain celebrities but people always putting these people on a pedestal like they know them personally 😂😂😂
Say it again for the people in the back! They need us for income, validation, and relevance. We are in control. Stop following, sharing, buying, watching, liking, and even disliking. When they get no attention from us, then they will either change or fade into obscurity. Meanwhile, we log off, go outside, get to know each other, build communities, and clean up our environment.
I think everybody was happier all the way around before the internet and we knew everything about what each other thinks... Not to mention the stars that hop online and tell us how to think
I watch a farmer from Florida who just went through two major hurricanes (Helene, Milton). Now that’s a hero for me , defining what values I feel worthy of celebrating! I follow a bunch of TH-camrs who are all interesting, strong and inspiring! Now these are stars to me!!
It's not just narcissistic, it's also arrogance. The old actors were humble enough to realize people loved their movie personas, not them. These actors think they ARE their personas.
No the older actors were the same. They were not humble. If you look at the inside of Hollywood at the golden age then you will see the vile and dark insidious side of Hollywood.
I really don’t feel like there’s been some major change. The only thing that’s changed is social media has removed the mystic and fake personas that were much more well hidden back in day. It didn’t become a sham, it revealed the sham
While narcissism, excess and greed always existed in hollyweird it was shielded, controlled and cleverly disguised, which allowed ordinary people to bask in the mystique of their favourite stars with only an occasional peep behind the curtains. Whereas today the 'stars' are as cheap, tacky and shallow as their ever changing values and beliefs which allows thinking decent people to see them, their desperation and their vacuous lives being played out like a circus filled with attention seekers. Its time actors and 'stars' stayed in their lane and acknowledged that their success stems from the talented writers and behind the scene artists who skilfully present them with the tools to perform.
@LaurenForster We haven't forgotten how horrible Trump was. You speak of democrats as if republicans were all shining white knights. They are all the same. Dude, republicans are insanely rich. You are not at the same level as them. It's ridiculous how people stand for a guy that was once known for a show where he indulged himself as the most successful businessman on Earth "you're fired". I mean, really? THAT guy? Is that the escape from everything that is rotting right now? No wonder USA is falling apart, and it was about time. The rest of the world can't stand your shallowness. Your culture is the worst thing that has ever happened.
She isn't happy because it's all about her. Happiness comes FROM making other people happy. Narcissists can never find true happiness because the concept of making other people happy is wholly alien to them.
The lack of talent in Hollywood, will lead to the raise of independent film and I'm here for it. Hollywood is over and reality TV was one of the death marks
Nope, movies and distribution still require a large sum of money that's why movies suck they're not made by artistic people they're made by the bean counters
Movies and series are still great. Reality TV is absolute trash, I don’t know what people see in it, but millions upon millions love it. Oh well, we can’t all be the same, but we don’t want to see any celebrities in ridiculous clothes at the Oscars or hear about the after parties, or hear celebrities politics or opinion in anything else. I appreciate my shoe store, I love new shoes, but I don’t want to know the salesperson’s opinion is on the world, I just want my shoes. Movies are great but the people in them are just actors not mini-gods. Same with sports stars…ka-boom 🤯
@@stellviahohenheim Yup. There are THOUSANDS of films made every year the vast majority of which are never seen. You can make your "independent film" but where are you going to show it and how are you going to make any money at it?
The old school celebs had the right idea , keep it mysterious keep it private , DON'T LET THE PUBLIC KNOW WHO YOU REALLY ARE , because they probably Won’t like it, unfortunately now, we have these narcissistic idiots , so the public is switching OFF .
❤️🔥💯🔥💯🔥 FACTS. There's a saying, "Don't ever meet your hero". Lol there was a young and up-and-coming movie star named Gabby Hoffman who met her idol Madonna and was quickly smacked down to earth, when she realized Madonna was extremely rude and told her "Get away from me kid" when she ran up to her in a hotel or somewhere, asking for an autograph. 😐
@@DarkroomMedia007 I remember the time Madonna was on the Graham Norton Show and when there was a segment with fans presenting her a gift she was extremely rude and dismissive towards them. That always stuck out to me as one of the reasons why we shouldn't put celebrities on a pedestal.
Hollywood was the internet of the day. All content was planned and measured, totally controlled and the press had to snoop to find their lives and private moments. Now the people themselves display it all for you There's nothing a mystery
I'd say it's more like children are waking up to the fact nobody's perfect in every way, and that real life is actually a struggle to be as decent as you can while overcoming your own shortcomings the best you can. And the kids aren't equipped to cope. It's entirely weird to me. Like before, when the image of the celeb was carefully edited (as described at 4:27 ), we STILL knew they were drunkards, drug addicts and loonatics. But we loved their work end enjoyed the make belief. Todays kids, it's like, they watch movies and YT videos and then suddenly open their big, BIG eyes and go "...you mean IT'S NOT WEAL????" like someone was lying to them or something. When there was no lie; they were just stoopa enough to watch fiction and THINK it was real. Like, the Kardashians are A SHOW. And then you have people SHOCKED by the fact, it's A SHOW. "Nausiatingly FAKE compliments" like... love, have you ever left your house before? Ever?
This is a good thing for society. I never understood the celebrity idol worship...I think the Covid lockdown was the final nail in the celebrity coffin... remember the cringe "imagine" celebrity sing-along?
Absolutely, especially when people become overly invested in parasocial relationships. I enjoy Chappell Roan’s music, but I’ve been eye-rolling at the recent uproar just because she mentioned being on good terms with her conservative family members. Some people took that way too personally!
Influencers are somewhat a problem too. It’s becoming too easy to become famous. If everyone is famous, eventually no one is famous. And it’s also become about pushing products instead of the art. People are seeing through the lies.
Exactly! Not as many kids these days talking about “I want to be a Doctor (Lawyer, Teacher etc) when I grow up!” Now it’s, “I want to be famous!” Or, “ I want to be an influencer!” It literally kills my soul a little every time I hear a younger person express that desire.🙈 Ugh! I also just said “these days”…I think my 50 year old, I have become my mother transformation may be complete!
@@dcrewmomma You probably don't see many kids in your life if you think that more of them want to be famous than previous generations. The only difference is that millennials and older didn't specifically say they wanted to be influencers, because they didn't have social media growing up (because it didn't exist), but I know a ton of people around your age who have admitted to wanting to be a singer, movie star, model, etc. when they were children. Being famous looks appealing, especially to children, where they see that they have tons of money and validation that they are lacking, so wanting to be famous as a kid is nothing new. I know not everyone in your generation wanted to be famous, but the same applies to young people now too. Every kid is different.
@@mynameisreallycool1 at least in the past most kids wanted to be famous for an actual talent because they loved their hobby like and valued it as an art not just their looks so they can sell plastic garbage
Oh, I have been waiting for the moment people realized these attention seeking people are just that…attention seeking people. I am so disinterested in it all.
@@JP_IN_TX My thoughts exactly. I don't normally give thumbs up or down on videos but this tear down was so well done without seaming angry or jealous that it got a rare thumbs up from me.
Just wait. It's going to get worse. Gen Z hardly watches movies, and the older generations are getting pretty tired of being lectured instead of entertained, so they're not exactly breaking down the doors of theaters to see a movie either. I think Hollywood is falling fast...
I'm a 70's kid (Yess I'm OLD) but I've been on a kick lately watching movies from the 50s, 60s and 70s and it's a lot of fun. It's a throwback to a day when we weren't lectured and told who to vote for - actors and actresses were admired and they kept their opinions and business mostly to themselves compared to today. Besides 70s horror movies are a thousand times better than the CGI garbage of today because they left more to the imagination, so were much more scary. Maybe it's my way to unplug from a society circling the drain, not sure but I just don't like the mess we're in right now.
@@9teen9t4 just rewatched Amityville Horror, prob one of the worst horror movies of the era, yet its leagues more watchable and memorable than 90% of horror nowadays.
One thing I want to add: It is no longer about creating art; it is only about making money. Edit: Obviously creating things costs money. Hence why I added the word ONLY to imply that that seems to be the only factor that matters nowadays. Again, it has always been factor; no shit. But there was a time when big studios actually put in effort, hired people with actual talent, wrote compelling stories that had messages that matter. Today, they don't care about anything but money. It's solely about producing as fast as possible and quality doesn't matter as long as it's good enough that most people will still waste their money on it.
Because people who make genuinely artistic movies and artists that sign for these indie movies don't EVER get the spotlight they deserve. The people will only watch them if they're in one of the few lucrative high budget production companies in the industry that have lost touch with common people and their stories.
Let's end the hierarchical mindset that causes celebrity worship, along with worship of others for being rich and powerful. Albert Einstein said, "I speak to everyone in the same way, whether he is the garbage man or the president of the university" and if everyone thought that way there wouldn't be so many selfish narcissists rising to the top and influencing all society.
Agreed. Both they (Hollywood) and professional ball players get paid waaaaaaay too much. They are our entertainment and somehow they've become worshiped.
Not really, they get paid what the market dictates. WNBA players would be an example of people getting paid too much. Their product loses millions every year. Fortunately the market is now being flooded with low quality content, so actors salaries will soon reflect that.
They are treated like Gods and Goddesses. I’m tired of these vain narcissistic celebs and actors. Not musicians as they create music that stays with you forever. Takes talent to master an instrument. Still paid way too much in my opinion though. And I’m fed up of seeing the same actors in the same movies. I’m really sick of the ubiquitous Samuel L Jackson and Nicole Kidman. For example I like Harrison Ford but who can take him serious as a Geriatric hero who thwarts dangerous criminals and black ops style teams. Time for some new blood. Celebs also know a lot of bad secrets like all the SA and drugs that goes on in Hollywood. I mean perhaps Matthew Perry might still be alive if celebs had ratted out the Drs illegally prescribing things like Ketamine. And all the SA’d young actors some of which took their own lives or got heavy into drugs and OD’d
I remember when I heard about the "famous" Kardashians for the very first time from my friends and I asked, are they actors? Are they singers? Are they artists? What are they famous for? And my friends told me, well, no, they're just famous for being famous... I couldn't quite wrap my head around it. The world is wild.
SAME people would ask me if I saw this episode or that one.. same with Jersey Shore! 🤮🤢🤮🤢🤮🤢🤮and I'd always answer I have NO idea WHAT you're talking about, and PROUD OF IT. 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
Celebrities are either getting too old, dying, or being exposed as human trash.....A true hero isn't someone who you can look up to anymore, it's someone who you can RELATE to.
I read this article that criticized Snow White and the Seven Dwarves for depicting the Dwarves as doing back-breaking labor and enjoying it. I was like "b--tch! That's Walt Disney! The Mouse Man himself! There was probably not a single man in Hollywood at the time who knew hard work like he did!" When he talked about dreams and imagination, he meant it! For all his flaws, I love the icon that Walt Disney was.
@@TheRisky9And look at the mess Bob Iger made of the Snow White remake. Woke Snow White who assigns all the work to the dwarfs, who doesn't get rescued by the prince but becomes her own "girl boss." Oh, and to boot, a very unlikable actress to play the role. Not what Walt would want.
for me, it was June 1992 when Clinton went on Aresino with that sax.. That was when America went after style rather than substance. there is a vapid response that I see on TV all the time as a response to that moment. It is a young guy gushing like a schoolgirl "like it was so amazing...like we finally have a cool president." Cool is fine for a high school president... but not the leader of the free world. Then it has been downhill ever since.
@@Lisa-co9ng BIG boomer energy in this post, omg 😂😂 “Someone called the president really cool! It’s all going to hell!” Go sip your Vermouth somewhere else, gramma
There's a lot of belief that Kennedy beat Nixon in 1960 due to the first ever presidential debates that were also televised. Nixon had a 5 o'clock shadow and was sweating bullets while Kennedy looked calm and cool... the power of imagery. That said, if you listen to those debates today, they sound like classical statesmen compared to the modern clown show, illustrating how far our politics have also fallen, a much bigger deal than Hollywood. But of course, they're inextricably linked.
@@wordup897 It's even worse than that. Some pollsters surveyed people who'd listened to the debate on the radio, and people who'd watched it on TV. The former group said Nixon won; the latter said JFK did.
Remember in the 70's (and even into the 80's) when musicians refused to allow their music to be used for commercials, etc.? They called it selling out. Boy, have times changed.
There are still genuine artists but the controllers of what goes mainstream tend to elevate people with low character who won't call out corruption at the top.
Streaming destroyed much of the traditional income of musicians (physical media to sell) so many absolutely will take royalties from commercials, video games, etc. The world we grew up in no longer exists.
@@tysonbeighss physical media only existed (commonly) since the 30s (musical sheets notwithstanding). Musicians have been around for thousands of years...live performance is supposed to be the main bread and butter.
Actually my disliking Blake Lively had nothing to do with her film, it was that interview where she bullied that woman for congratulating her for her “baby bump”. Classic mean girl right there.
And the worst part about that interview is that the interviewer has been trying to get pregnant with no success. She deeply hurt that woman and Blake SHOULD be ashamed of herself....but I won't hold my breath.
They are too stupid to realize that when they get political, they alienate roughly 50% of the population. There’s so many celebs I refuse to watch anymore due to their ignorant political comments. That’s dollars they are losing from their bank accounts. Their job is to entertain, not lecture. They have free speech, but they must realize that voicing their opinions will hurt their bottom line.
Thank you! Right now they are pressuring the black community to vote for Kamala because she is supposedly black which she is not, she needs to stop playing games and be proud to be Indian.
I agree with you. At a young age of 13 something clicked in my head and made me not want to do that because it's like a form of worship. There's a saying, don't ever meet your hero you might not like them. That stuck in my head as a teenager.
@@PatNR813 so what you are saying is that there wasn't a single public person that inspired you ever? Not even a person like Einstein? Or a famous athlete?
@Elimbi1 I am talking about celebrities...movie stars. Sure I liked some but I wouldn't idolize them! People in history inspired me: Helen Keller, Founding Father's, War heros and the like. Not movie stars.
I was just talking to my wife about him. I think 25yrs ago before social media he would have been made out to be crazy and a conspiracist, but..... We're all seeing celebs fall hard
To be fair, this also applies to regular people. People have forgotten how alluring mystery is. Within days of working with someone, they have told you everything there is to know about themselves. Everyone has most of their lives documented on social media. And none of it is that interesting. Remember when you used to glimpse someone regularly and wonder about them? It was intriguing and so sexy! People are so obsessed with themselves now, its really quite tasteless.
It's gotten so out of hand that we have parents, since the 2000s, posting their children's faces all over the internet, despite knowing how unsafe it is for them and their kids being too young to understand the negative consequences, even posting embarrassing content that would make their kids a target for bullying or even harmful content that pedophiles would enjoy, or posting what school their child goes to and other private information. All because mommy and daddy need likes and clout.
True .i mean at one side they throw the word Personal space, personal life and at another side they will be telling every sh*t to the world..they also put themselves in danger too by putting so much information
Reminds me of the "actress" who did the protagonist in "the Acolyte". In one of her interviews she explicitly said how she was given the role. Like, she didn't rehearse for it. There was no selection process to find the best actor. She was "given" the role bcs it fit her RL personality and her socio-political views so well. She never once acted in her entire life, but always just literally played herself.
If actors aren't any good at there jobs or more like "careers" there is a casting couch And then they aren't inheritantly good anyways but if they are good at there jobs then you have to worry about how bad that real person really is.
People don't care, true. But not just because they came to this epiphany on their own. We can't afford to care. We don't have the attention spans to care about them anymore. Not only is our media landscape fragmented (so there's less incentive to buy in to "the popular movies or shows" that everyone else is watching as purchase on social capital) but also our attention is fragmented. Celebrity culture seems so dull and vain and superficial compared to outrage culture online, doomerism, etc.
I'm wishing people would stop buying into Taylor Swift's "All American Girl Boss" persona soon. It's gotten tiring seeing the media treat her like she's some kind of otherwordly being you can't criticise.
I dare you to go down that rabbit hole if you haven't already. MGM- Louis Mayer coined the term Star, and had a rating system for the actors. He was actually a vile human being who exploited his employees. Most notably, Judy Garland 😢
Hearing you talk about women being each other's own worst enemies regarding beauty standards is refreshing. We all have a responsibility to hold one another accountable, and creating these silos and blaming everyone on the outside will never change anything.
They WERE normal people. Until they sold their souls to Satan. (And they did, whether they join in with the “goddess” circles, weird cult parties, and child SA 💩 🤢 or not. Every last one of them has sold their soul to get where they are. It’s time they get out of our faces- kinda like Gypsy Rose who would sell her baby to be one of them 😂)
Kylie "I don't think it's okay to talk about someone's looks, it's mean." Also Kylie--called Chloe Moretz all kinds of things on social media for wearing a swimsuit. Uh huh. Sure.
She made her appearance the thing she was known for. Posing with this and that hair color, this little or this much clothes on, this or that lip color. Her *thing* was having her appearance talked about. PUH-LEEZE
The saddest thing in life is not when someone gets tired of too much pain, it's when they get tired of too much pleasure. Truly a hollow and decaying feeling. Graveyards are FULL of young "celebrities"
What's even sadder is that they simply reflect the misery of the country - Celebrities are just on display so their addicted, depressing lives are exposed more.
@ChildrensRightsFirst947 I respectfully disagree. I think that the reason why celebrities are failing, as per the video, is because many people are seeing the hollow lies that their lives are. With all the sex, drugs, debauchery, etc. and, in turn, pulling away from Hollywood.
They in fact, are no longer special. They’re shallow and most of them stand for absolutely nothing. Glad people aren’t giving them the attention they keep begging for anymore
I feel like no-one's a celebrity. I mean I appreciate some people on social media, but I don't view them the same way as I viewed movie and tv celebs when I wwas a kid
It isn’t 15 minutes though, that’s why it’s so gratifying to see this happen. Because it has been lasting for YEARS. So it’s not 15 minutes of fame, it’s 15 years of fame.
@@aycaiix The problem is that people don't ask WHY these celebrities became so famous... and WHY all these celebrities try their best to brainwash people into becoming bigots, racists and "victims" all the time... it's because these celebrities and who becomes a celebrity is hand picked by the owners of the world (billionaires) and celebrities are their puppets that try to do their best to divide the people... force racism and sexism and all the other isms into every conversation to pit men against women, black against white etc because the owners are afraid of one thing... the people waking up and realizing that together they hold all the power... that the owners of the world are owning us only because we haven't realized that we can take their power away if we truly unite... that no matter how rich they are, they can't go against billions of people around the world if those billions realize they've been lied to for decades and that they all face the exact same problems in their lives... because it doesn't matter if you're black or white or yellow or a blue smurf, man or a woman... The problems are the same for all of us... quality of life is at it's lowest... people that have entry level jobs at big companies nowadays can't even afford the very basic need of being able to rent a decent home (let alone people that work 2 and 3 bullshit jobs just to barely get by)... prices are going up constantly while salaries haven't gone up in the last 20 years and in many countries like mine (I'm Greek) have even gone down by about 30% since the 2000's... They have used celebrities to brainwash people and created a fake illusion of the "great life" while they suck the people's wealth and hide all their dirty money in Panama, Marshall Islands, Cayman and every other "tax paradise" cause they take it all and give nothing back... we're paying their taxes cause the rich pay NOTHING... and celebrities are their hound-dogs for keeping the sheep always nice and quiet in the sweet little cage they've made for us... THAT is way celebrities exist...
I truly believe the shift changed during Covid lock downs. We were forced to focus on ourselves and prioritize what was important in our life while the celebrities got to stay in lock down in their huge mansions and had the nerve to complain about how bad it was. People lost jobs , kids lost proper education,many lives were lost. It woke up a lot of people.
I've just written almost exactly what I see you have written. Lockdowns really showed up the cracks. Watching some of them whining and breaking down when they were so privileged with space and luxury homes really opened up my eyes and now I'm very particular as to who I can stomach watching. I'm done with most of them. And if they try and share life skills or political views, I can't switch them off quickly enough.
And they lectured about how we should "stay at homes" while they were throwing parties, and next thing you know they are all lecturing us about who we should vote for.
@@adrienchl4265 Throwing parties on their private islands. Lecturing us about our carbon footprint when they are tooling around the planet on private jets. But thats ok because somebody planted a tree.
I also agree 100%. While I do believe the main driver is social media both showing us other people tobe sources of entertainment, the biggest trigger were the lockdowns as not only did people suddenly struggled heavily, at that same exact time the celebrities were posting more than ever about how they are "also suffering". Remember when a bunch of them sang Imagine while in the middle of their fleshed out mansions and a song that starts with "there is no heaven" with almost certain someone's watching was having their grandma on a ventilator dying.
It evaporated bevause anyone can be a star with a phone and a youtube channel...celebs arent 100 miles away anymore, now theyre next door, down the road.
There's this quote: "Great minds discuss ideas, average minds discuss events, small minds discuss people." It's never been worthwhile to follow the antics of some individuals. Go live your own life!
It is high time our society abolishes celebrity culture, these narcissistic people do not care about you neither do they know about your existence, all they care about is money, fame, success, idolization and power. It has always been this way. The world needs to wake up and focus on the things that truly matter.
Fat chance. There's always people who want to worship something if it's not celebrities it's influencers if it's not influencers it's politicians and so on and so forth.
Well you simply just described half the planet. Sis folks who don’t have dime to their name also don’t care about anyone but themselves this not a celebrity thing this a human thing speaking that’s many humans act this way.
@@MayaHendersonKina18357 What she said made sense. People with not much to lose tend to seek “higher powers” disconnected from them that they simply have to put a lot of their energy into to feel gratification. People around their rock bottoms for example- they tend to seek spirituality. This can be in religion, God/gods, or human worship. Anything the individual can project themselves upon for their own feelings, needs and desires. Those people in those isolating/hopeless/rock bottom situations tend to parasocialize while their self hatred keeping them from bettering their lives eats them up inside.
I recently had foot surgery and for the past 3 months I have been situated in bed with my foot elevated so I was unable to maneuver myself in the living room at night while my husband watched TV. Before the surgery I was already getting so bored with anything on TV (including movies) and then after the surgery while in bed I was either reading, studying Italian, drawing, or watching YT videos on travel, gardening, home decorating. I didn’t realize how much Celebrity Culture (along with boring TV/movie formula) and even TV commercials was making me very sad… and now that I have my mind back, I am so much more balanced and happy. Many years ago I saw a bumper sticker that said… “Hide from your TV”…. How true… Americans in particular need to stop worshipping celebrities and buying whatever it is they are selling….Stop being sheep… While they are living the life of their dreams, they thrive off of us eating their crumbs…
Yep it showed us who they really are, entitled rich assholes but forget their selling a product the the public then shits on them. Hollywood is a cult.
This explains why Hollywood seems to hate genuine people like Henry Cavill and a few others. People with real talent who keep to themselves about their personal lives and merely show admiration for the subject matter pertaining to their work (like Henry's love for the actual source material for projects that he does). I think this also means that private people like him aren't busted doing things they shouldn't, like, say, going to a P. Diddy party and are thus not subject to blackmail.
Lol, Henry Cavill is a typical typecast, boy can't act and he's also part of the dumbass culture war. A perfect example will be Christian bale or cillian Murphy
Even if a celebrity endorses someone or something i already support, i resent the idea that they feel the need to instruct us commoners on what to think or do. They're qualified experts bc they can memorize lines, look attractive, sing or play a sport? It's so pretentious and condescending. 👎🚫🤮
It's their very right and it's not a new thing. Stars of the golden age did the same thing, it's just more amplified and in your face now because of social media
@@jeffersonhassan4558 Michael Jordan was not a republican... they wanted him to endorse the democrats cause he was the most famous athlete in the nation at the time... wanna know his answer? "No, why? Cause Republicans buy sneakers too"... which is the difference with today's stars who call their fans racists, sexists and tell them what to say and how to act... Jordan knew that he was just a basketball player and people loved him for his abilities on the court... he wasn't a fake ass "philosopher", telling people what to do and having an "opinion" on everything like Lebron is today... which is even funnier because Lebron tells his "opinions" (all publicity stunts obviously) all the time while being an uneducated dumbass that hasn't read a book in his life and Jordan shut the fuck up because it wasn't his business to tell people what to do and in the very very few interviews he's done in his life you can tell he's highly intelligent...
There are plenty of grounded actors in Hollywood, but most of them have paid their dues and have spent a lifetime shaping the kind of world they want to live in. They haven't sold their souls, but they aren't going to be offered any new jobs anytime soon. Dean Cain is one actor who comes to mind. He's not popular, and you're not going to see him in any new, big-budget films anytime soon, but he takes a stand against what Hollywood has become.
I think Hollywood needs to shrink down dramatically, cut out the cancerous agendas, and focus on meritocracy again. Stop preaching to your audience and focus on creating great entertainment.
Celebrity back then was a bit more “accidental”. Actors like Jimmy Stuart enjoyed the art of acting but outside of his movies he had a private life and never forgot his beginnings.
He and others were also real actual heroes, willing to risk their lives for a war they thought was just. Edited to add: My brother was a very high end restaurant waiter and met Jimmy Stewart and the actor just wanted to chat a bit with him. He said Jimmy Stewart was really nice and just wanted some non--Hollyood talk for a few.
@@sdube001that’s incredible! He’s my favourite actor because not only was he great at acting but he was a humble and kind man - every story I’ve seen about people who met him has been the same as your brothers! Your brother was very lucky to have met him!
Some of us never idolized them.... We mostly saw them as disturbed individuals and just sat back to watch when the facade would collapse. Glad that you are finally catching up.
Mark Hamill, Chris Evans, Mark Rufallo, Michael Shanks, Madonna, Ashley Judd. There are so, so many actors and celebrities I could name that are horrific individuals. To say nothing of all the Instagram "models" who've somehow become "actors" like Emily Rajtakovsky, etc. The ignorant, and arrogant brainrot is unreal. And it's all propped up with gaslighting and strawman fallacies.
It’s all become so droll, mundane and repetitive… boring 🥱 people famous for being famous, I mean, it’s so far beyond a joke that nobody even remembers if there was a joke, let alone if it was funny. Those who spend their blood, sweat, and tears doing good works to help humanity progress at their personal cost, are the ones who should be lauded, enriched and revered by society, not those who play pretend, trade on their appearance, or kick a ball around a field for a living. About time that society gets its priorities straight. Talk about so-called ‘social injustice’, that fact is the biggest joke of all time. #societyisawful
3:28 unpopular opinion here, but except for young girls, I have no empathy for older women who blindly followed the characterless family for anything. Young girls, I understand they are naive and get carried away. But women who are older, almost in 30s and following them, put themselves up for this manipulative games.
Social media influencers are already far worse than movie celebrities/stars..... I don't want to think how bad those TikTok brains will become when they will get even bigger/more famous.....
The Hollywood virtue signaling.... Ugh. They live in a house the size of a small college campus, travel in private jets and yachts. But everyone else needs to take a bus.... While they are wearing an outfit that costs more than an average person could earn in 3 years!
Not just Tom Cruise, I think the guy who played Oppenheimer is another one. He plays a lot of well-known characters, but is very tight-lipped about his private life.
Mm but it’s not just about being quiet. She was saying movie stars of old were also extraordinarily talented. Multitalented. There are a handful of good actors who are tight lipped but almost none are also vastly talented in many areas. 🤷🏼♀️
Yeah the majority of them today are basically groomed from childhood to be actors… come from means to help them get ins… and often times are not very talented in their craft… much less have other talents.
Cillian Murphy is not on social media, he doesn't know how to use it, doesn't understand the terms... his confused face in an interview when he was told about the CM disappointed face meme and his response was, what's a meme? Priceless
That reminds me of one my favorite rap lyrics _‘Suckers don’t know how bad I’m at ‘em’._ Obviously, meaning his opposition isn’t even aware of just much venom and wrath he has for them.
Did this person forget that Jackie Chan and Jet Li they also do their own stunt work because I remember people saying that Jackie Chan got hurt a lot for doing his own stunt work. In the movie Lethal Weapon 4 the director had to tell Jet Li to slow down when it came to the fighting scenes because he was too fast lol 😂
@@lancetaytayninh Yeah whatever stunts Tom Cruise actually does (who knows how much of his stuntman image is actually fake), guys like Jackie Chan are the true legends. Hollywood with all its money never made or will make action scenes that are as impressive as those in Jackie Chan movies from his good years.
And when they open their mouths and start spouting what they feel, what they believe, what their ideologies are, and whet they’ve turned their kids into, I’m done. No matter how much I like a show, as soon as they do all that, I quit watching. Definitely liked them better when there was some mystery. Making me know them makes me not like them!
Agree, people need to separate the actor or singer from the person, its about the art and what they produce. You dont have to like someone to respect their craft.
I don’t even enjoy their work anymore. I’ve watched a handful of movies and left others midway since lockdown. I’ve re-discovered nature, travel and have taken up music. I’ve forgotten hollyweird even existed
@MorgMorg-uf6ps they're the ones that insist on telling us about themselves. That's when they blow it. Because strangely enough being able to act, sing doesn't make them super anymore than being a brick layer does, or a secretary a solicitor, librarian, care worker, dinnerlady, joiner.....I think I've made my point. They just act. And some are pretty good at their trade. But they're still no more special than anyone else
Actually, just idols. If an idol is false, then one is misdirecting their faith to what isn't. And if it is real, then it is guaranteed to be a demon in disguise (even if the entity it poses as seems outwardly good).
That’s not entirely true. Celebrities were a part of spreading the Civil Rights Movement as well as raising money to take care of soldiers during WW2. Celebrities having a voice isn’t the problem it’s that this generation of stars doesn’t know how to use their voice effectively.
I worked in Hollywood for 18 years.. NOT as an actor , as an artist/ designer...I contributed my work on TWO Acadamy Award nominated films ( one of those films my work was SCRIPTED in the film ).....My work has been featured in several movie posters anonymously...My work was featured in the opening credits of 150 million dollar productions...Never got a credit.. I met some good people , but most of the time I was treated like SH*T !!!... Working in that town was a constant "DIRTY TRICKS " campaign... Lots of broken promises...I worked twice as hard for half as much...Meanwhile there was huge sums of money everywhere... That town destroyed my career and I haven't worked on my art in 15 years... Anything beautiful in that town gets ripped to shreds...
Put your art on the internet, I wish more people would do this. I don’t even bother trying to watch movies anymore. I’m watching stuff mostly on TH-cam. Canceling streaming and just gonna stick to my dvd library of my fav stuff. And TH-cam lol. But if there was another platform to watch actual good movies, then I’d go there. But the current status quo is just not worth the time even.
@@Vineethajojo $17,000 it cost me to trademark and copyright my name in the U.S and Japan....My attorney was referred through DreamWorks Studios....In Hollywood it's not the level of the work you do , it's who gets PICKED...If your attorney won't fight for you it doesn't matter what's on paper... It's who gets picked.. Trying to fight the people who are supposed to fight for you can get you offed.....I see the comments and people's sincerity is commendable but unless you have been in that town and understand how the " Hollywood machine" operates you would have zero idea how it really all works... Hollywood is a powerful cabal..It used to be more powerful than it is today but it still has SWAY over alot of the creativity that gets recognized in this world... For example , you want front page coverage in a Japanese magazine!!? , you better have an "A" list actor or musician seen wearing your work or Japan will NEVER come knocking....The one thing is , they called me , I didn't call them , I never went looking for a job in that industry...I appreciate the comments though...There is a lyric in a QUEEN song "Keep Yourself Alive"...It goes like this " Now they say your folks are telling you , Be a super star , well I tell you just be satisfied and stay right where you are .. KEEP YOURSELF ALIVE " !.. Freddie Mercury knew.. Thanks anyway for the comments...best!
@@specialroy2140 So you can't even copyright your work!? Are you doing design or writing ? because if you're doing freelancing I pretty sure you'll have the upper hand,if you're doing design
Blake Lively should apologize to Princess Catherine for bullying her while she was recovering from major surgery & chemo, & both Blake & Ryan should apologize to Justin Baldoni for trying to destroy his career for no good reason. Honestly, they’ve destroyed their reputations; it doesn’t matter what they do or so to a lot of people because now everyone has seen their evil, bullying, abusing behavior & that can’t be unseen now. They should go away.
But they're venture capitalists and people are going to follow and kowtow to money. See how the cast sided with Blake and Ryan. As far as major media goes, Ryan and Blake's lives will go on as normal and with normal coverage. This blunder will not in any way unfortunately diminish their media "star" power because they have money and connections.
I think the problem is they go all over social media and tell people who they really are... what made celebrities previously was people could use their imaginations and pretend that actors and singers were anything other than just regular human beings with all the same flaws. whats the saying? never get to know your heroes?
@@donquixotemom ok i'll phrase it differently... it's your imagination that lets you see an actor in a movie as the character in the movie, but when you learn about who they actually are in real life, it's really hard to separate what you know about them in reality from the person they're pretending to be in the movie, and that's why there aren't really any movie stars anymore.
Except their flaws are exacerbated due to being in a permissive environment with tons of money, fame and power. It’s easier to be a nice person when you have consequences for a hole behavior
The showing off backfires. Most people are struggling with costing living/low salaries. These celebrities charge fans excessively for concerts etc which is disgusting.
Something interesting is we the people are supposed to pay hefty inflation-riddled prices for not just concerts but also for businesses. Handling fee for food? Delivery fee for big utensils for a B2C? The hell?
When they started preaching their political views in 2015/16, I quit Hollywood. If a movie looked good, I would do my research. You are not getting my hard earned dollars
A perfect example of this to me is Brie Larson. I was excited to see Capitan Marvel. However, after I heard her lecturing white men about a movie. She ruined her image.
Honestly audiences want to hear 3 simple things from actors. 1. It was a fun movie to make. 2. But it is a lot of work. 3. You should see it because we made a good entertaining film
@@somethingclever8916 Except now it's.... 3. It's not a good, entertaining film. 2. It's a lot of work compared to what? Also, bitching about the work but not the multi million dollar paycheque. 1.It was fun to make.... pay no attention to the off camera drama and diva behaviour.
Brie Larson: "iT wAsN't MaDe FoR yOu!" Half of potential viewers: K, I'll take my money elsewhere then Brie Larson: "Movie failed cuz MiSoGyNee!!" 😆This lady somehow can't grasp the concept of cause and effect
People all around the world are awakening spiritually. When this happens, you begin to crave authenticity. Celebrities tend to represent the opposite. A large part of their focus is on “me” - what I’m wearing, owning, doing. Very few are interested in the betterment of humanity and bringing a present awareness into this reality. It’s becoming much easier to see through, especially when so many are also struggling to make ends meet.
After the literal year of the beat, 2016 (666+666+666+6+6+6), the year Western society really started falling apart at the seams, it’s like that year was the beginning of the end and the end of the beginning for good and evil in the world- mainly the western world (for me) as that’s what I’m predominantly exposed to; like BIG things that have never been questioned before were set by God to over time/now, be exposed, burn away slowly, or straight up die. Like it’s all wayyy too coincidental when I look back at it all over the years; just the way everything is turning out over the years- like a random global pandemic on a mirrored, decade breaking year?! Maybe humanity just decided to be extremely stupid that very special year and coincidentally, accidentally brought upon an entire global plague on humanity which we’ve haven’t had to deal with to such magnitudes for how long!? Marking a unfathomably bad start to the new ‘modern’ decade now making people talk about each year separately like each one is an abusive ex they’ve experienced trauma from. Like humanity in general now just seems like it’s just hurting the most it’s ever have due to the romanticization and rewarding of publicly being a victim, while others are healing from acute to severe trauma caused during or before 2020 and trying to make changes in their lives, while other people are doing both, or even one at a time simultaneously, while mainstream media as a whole is completely changing… what is happening in the world right now? Maybe we’re just being on the internet too much consuming this type of content about current society and these thing don’t really matter as much as we think they do if we practice common sense and rational to understand celebrities were always just regular humans at the end of the day like you and I, flawed creatures, logically, emotionally, no matter how skilled in an specific area. Unless someone changes the course of history for humanity for the better, they should not be worshipped. In fact, nothing should be *worshipped.* Things should be admired, respected and have inspiration be taken from to continue the good qualities of humanity for humanity’s sake.
Philanthropy is fake. Let's see real celebrities trying to better others like Russell Brand, he does seem really spiritually aware and truly trying to change the world in an authentic way

I'm 44, I turned 20 in 2000. So I saw the height of the cult of celebrity. I never understood it, and I'm glad to see its decline. I'm glad people are finally seeing past the glamour (a word with a telling etymology by the way) as I always have.
Yes celebs age is over now its tech genius and president age. Those that emulate elon or trump will get perks but the final character type to be exalted is the super heroe like iron man or i should say Jesus Christ messiahs 👍🏽😎🙏🏽💪🏽✝️🙌🏽❤️ the better the fighter and hero the more exalted so lets get in the gym today 💪🏽 and build super armorz and weapons
I never understood people that worship celebrities. I never will.
There are some celebrities that I am a fan of like Johnny Depp, and Queen Latifah
But I don’t care where they shop who they date where they live or stuff like that
I just really enjoy the work they do on the screen
That’s how it should be
@@dfw6558I get that and it should be like that, sadly many people don't think as smartly as you and stress themselves over the fakeness of celebrity PR tactics and their crazy lives.
@@dfw6558 I love movies, and think some actors are pretty good at making me believe the part. Definitely. And I love some music (mostly 80s and 90s music and Salsa, merengue, etc) and think the songs are great, but I never cared about the actual singer and group so much. I agree.
What a big waste of time like they even know who you are
Me neither.
And nothing of value was lost.
Yep!
It’s actually a net positive for society!
👏👏👏👏
I think a lot is lost. Film and TV has power to impact us and make us think. Due to the short format of most social media, we often lose the elegance of communicating a point in as artistic of a way. Not to say that does not exist in social media, but the time investment, and therefore the impact it has on us, is not as great. Social media is a quantity game in that domain, whereas film or TV was more about quality of material.
I'm sure once upon a time, authors were the "celebrities" of their time, but film & TV usurped that. So it's really a medium shift more than a cultural shift imo.
I'm not saying we need celebs. God knows I hate the Kardashians. I'm just saying there is value in quality. If anything, social media is more of a problem as it distorts reality terribly. But then, I was never one to follow the personal lives of TV, film, or sports celebs. I just pay attn to their product rather than their lives. 🤷♂️
Sorry for the length. It's an interesting topic to me.
This comment gave me flashbacks to Horizon Forbidden West
"The United States has become a place where entertainers and professional athletes are mistaken for people of importance." Robert Heinlein
All useless eaters, meanwhile the people literally building the countries with their hands like construction workers earning minimum wages
Sadly ignorant ppl follow celebs’ political advice.
It's orchestrated to keep them unintelligent and away from every political leaders are doing
Not only that. It has ceased to be the land of the free in some respects.
Heinlein was ahead of his time!
So happy to see more people becoming aware that celebs aren’t important.
I've never thought celebs are interesting or important 😎
I've actually always kind of disliked them
I think it all stems from what talent they bring to the table, but now that talent is being replaced by technology without having to move a muscle, their value in the entertainment industry has dried up. But there is still talent in the world out there, it's just being overshadowed a lot.

We don’t need celebrities, we need community.
They need us
Say it again for the people in the back! They need us for income, validation, and relevance. We are in control. Stop following, sharing, buying, watching, liking, and even disliking. When they get no attention from us, then they will either change or fade into obscurity. Meanwhile, we log off, go outside, get to know each other, build communities, and clean up our environment.
Absolutely. Who needs celebrities anyway? I only want small influencers.

It's not just narcissistic, it's also arrogance. The old actors were humble enough to realize people loved their movie personas, not them. These actors think they ARE their personas.
Agreed 💯%
Yeah its very stupid
I feel like the Rock embodies this most, bro LOVES seeing himself as the guy he always portrays in his movies
No the older actors were the same. They were not humble.
If you look at the inside of Hollywood at the golden age then you will see the vile and dark insidious side of Hollywood.
I really don’t feel like there’s been some major change. The only thing that’s changed is social media has removed the mystic and fake personas that were much more well hidden back in day. It didn’t become a sham, it revealed the sham
Narcissism was never a commodity.
People are finally figuring that out and walking away.
Yes!
They are Satanic, greedy, perverse, and shallow. How no one noticed is beyond me. They quite literally destroyed a generation.
While narcissism, excess and greed always existed in hollyweird it was shielded, controlled and cleverly disguised, which allowed ordinary people to bask in the mystique of their favourite stars with only an occasional peep behind the curtains. Whereas today the 'stars' are as cheap, tacky and shallow as their ever changing values and beliefs which allows thinking decent people to see them, their desperation and their vacuous lives being played out like a circus filled with attention seekers. Its time actors and 'stars' stayed in their lane and acknowledged that their success stems from the talented writers and behind the scene artists who skilfully present them with the tools to perform.
No they’re not & that’s the problem

It's entirely weird to me. Like before, when the image of the celeb was carefully edited (as described at 4:27 ), we STILL knew they were drunkards, drug addicts and loonatics. But we loved their work end enjoyed the make belief. Todays kids, it's like, they watch movies and YT videos and then suddenly open their big, BIG eyes and go "...you mean IT'S NOT WEAL????" like someone was lying to them or something. When there was no lie; they were just stoopa enough to watch fiction and THINK it was real.

I only worship my higher power 🙏
Influencers are somewhat a problem too. It’s becoming too easy to become famous. If everyone is famous, eventually no one is famous. And it’s also become about pushing products instead of the art. People are seeing through the lies.
Exactly! Not as many kids these days talking about “I want to be a Doctor (Lawyer, Teacher etc) when I grow up!” Now it’s, “I want to be famous!” Or, “ I want to be an influencer!” It literally kills my soul a little every time I hear a younger person express that desire.🙈 Ugh!

@@dcrewmomma You probably don't see many kids in your life if you think that more of them want to be famous than previous generations.

Being famous looks appealing, especially to children, where they see that they have tons of money and validation that they are lacking, so wanting to be famous as a kid is nothing new. I know not everyone in your generation wanted to be famous, but the same applies to young people now too. Every kid is different.

Just wait. It's going to get worse. Gen Z hardly watches movies, and the older generations are getting pretty tired of being lectured instead of entertained, so they're not exactly breaking down the doors of theaters to see a movie either. I think Hollywood is falling fast...
They are watching movies and TV shows, just not Hollywood’s
I'm a 70's kid (Yess I'm OLD) but I've been on a kick lately watching movies from the 50s, 60s and 70s and it's a lot of fun. It's a throwback to a day when we weren't lectured and told who to vote for - actors and actresses were admired and they kept their opinions and business mostly to themselves compared to today. Besides 70s horror movies are a thousand times better than the CGI garbage of today because they left more to the imagination, so were much more scary. Maybe it's my way to unplug from a society circling the drain, not sure but I just don't like the mess we're in right now.

Edit: Obviously creating things costs money. Hence why I added the word ONLY to imply that that seems to be the only factor that matters nowadays. Again, it has always been factor; no shit. But there was a time when big studios actually put in effort, hired people with actual talent, wrote compelling stories that had messages that matter. Today, they don't care about anything but money. It's solely about producing as fast as possible and quality doesn't matter as long as it's good enough that most people will still waste their money on it.

Not really, they get paid what the market dictates. WNBA players would be an example of people getting paid too much. Their product loses millions every year.
Fortunately the market is now being flooded with low quality content, so actors salaries will soon reflect that.
That's because people value them too much.
They are treated like Gods and Goddesses. I’m tired of these vain narcissistic celebs and actors. Not musicians as they create music that stays with you forever. Takes talent to master an instrument. Still paid way too much in my opinion though.
And I’m fed up of seeing the same actors in the same movies. I’m really sick of the ubiquitous Samuel L Jackson and Nicole Kidman.
For example I like Harrison Ford but who can take him serious as a Geriatric hero who thwarts dangerous criminals and black ops style teams. Time for some new blood.
Celebs also know a lot of bad secrets like all the SA and drugs that goes on in Hollywood. I mean perhaps Matthew Perry might still be alive if celebs had ratted out the Drs illegally prescribing things like Ketamine. And all the SA’d young actors some of which took their own lives or got heavy into drugs and OD’d
Only because people buy tickets. Stop buying tickets and merchandise if you don't like how much they're paid.
I remember when I heard about the "famous" Kardashians for the very first time from my friends and I asked, are they actors? Are they singers? Are they artists? What are they famous for? And my friends told me, well, no, they're just famous for being famous... I couldn't quite wrap my head around it. The world is wild.
They got famous for Kim giving dome to Ray j on camera and leaking their own tape. Easy.
Same! I have NEVER watched a single episode of their show and I don't intend to either.
SAME people would ask me if I saw this episode or that one.. same with Jersey Shore! 🤮🤢🤮🤢🤮🤢🤮and I'd always answer I have NO idea WHAT you're talking about, and PROUD OF IT. 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
Many celebrities like the Kardashians are going to be exposed through the P Diddy arrest.
I wondered too... did some research.. They seemed famous for being famous and looking like like dolls.
Celebrities are either getting too old, dying, or being exposed as human trash.....A true hero isn't someone who you can look up to anymore, it's someone who you can RELATE to.
Most old movie stars came from brutal poverty and fought in wars, had careers before even hitting Hollywood.
Quite a few did back breaking, blue collar work.
@@matthews7805 Exactly. Like Charles Bronson working down the mines as a child.
Or were from warring countries that don't exist anymore. A lot of the shit old stars went through BEFORE they made it to the states can be horrifying.
I read this article that criticized Snow White and the Seven Dwarves for depicting the Dwarves as doing back-breaking labor and enjoying it. I was like "b--tch! That's Walt Disney! The Mouse Man himself! There was probably not a single man in Hollywood at the time who knew hard work like he did!" When he talked about dreams and imagination, he meant it!
For all his flaws, I love the icon that Walt Disney was.
@@TheRisky9And look at the mess Bob Iger made of the Snow White remake. Woke Snow White who assigns all the work to the dwarfs, who doesn't get rescued by the prince but becomes her own "girl boss." Oh, and to boot, a very unlikable actress to play the role. Not what Walt would want.
I’ve often thought a clear sign of the demise of Western Civilization is the celebrity of the Kardashians.
Yes I agree
for me, it was June 1992 when Clinton went on Aresino with that sax.. That was when America went after style rather than substance. there is a vapid response that I see on TV all the time as a response to that moment. It is a young guy gushing like a schoolgirl "like it was so amazing...like we finally have a cool president." Cool is fine for a high school president... but not the leader of the free world. Then it has been downhill ever since.

There's a lot of belief that Kennedy beat Nixon in 1960 due to the first ever presidential debates that were also televised. Nixon had a 5 o'clock shadow and was sweating bullets while Kennedy looked calm and cool... the power of imagery.
That said, if you listen to those debates today, they sound like classical statesmen compared to the modern clown show, illustrating how far our politics have also fallen, a much bigger deal than Hollywood. But of course, they're inextricably linked.
@@wordup897 It's even worse than that. Some pollsters surveyed people who'd listened to the debate on the radio, and people who'd watched it on TV. The former group said Nixon won; the latter said JFK did.

Remember in the 70's (and even into the 80's) when musicians refused to allow their music to be used for commercials, etc.? They called it selling out. Boy, have times changed.
There are still genuine artists but the controllers of what goes mainstream tend to elevate people with low character who won't call out corruption at the top.
Streaming destroyed much of the traditional income of musicians (physical media to sell) so many absolutely will take royalties from commercials, video games, etc. The world we grew up in no longer exists.
I know now all these celebrities are doing Uber and poker commercials like Ludacris and Vanessa hudgkins or nespresso with George Clooney it's bizarre
that is because YOU insisted that music be free.
@@tysonbeighss physical media only existed (commonly) since the 30s (musical sheets notwithstanding). Musicians have been around for thousands of years...live performance is supposed to be the main bread and butter.

Yes!
They are too stupid to realize that when they get political, they alienate roughly 50% of the population. There’s so many celebs I refuse to watch anymore due to their ignorant political comments. That’s dollars they are losing from their bank accounts. Their job is to entertain, not lecture. They have free speech, but they must realize that voicing their opinions will hurt their bottom line.

@@stackels97I agree way too many people care
i have never understood celebrity worship
I agree with you. At a young age of 13 something clicked in my head and made me not want to do that because it's like a form of worship. There's a saying, don't ever meet your hero you might not like them. That stuck in my head as a teenager.
Lots of celebrities like athletes for example exemplify human excellence so it's easier to deify them
Even as a teen, never had a celebrity picture on my wall. Couldn’t think of anyone I would be emotional to meet.
@@PatNR813 so what you are saying is that there wasn't a single public person that inspired you ever? Not even a person like Einstein? Or a famous athlete?
@Elimbi1 I am talking about celebrities...movie stars. Sure I liked some but I wouldn't idolize them! People in history inspired me: Helen Keller, Founding Father's, War heros and the like. Not movie stars.
*Katt Williams told y’all… all lives will be exposed in 2024*

He is someone with enormous strength & integrity. He went against the machine. And the irony is they called him crazy??!!!

I think it was lies that he said will be exposed.
I do not watch any movies anymore. Nothing of quality is being produced
To be fair, this also applies to regular people. People have forgotten how alluring mystery is. Within days of working with someone, they have told you everything there is to know about themselves. Everyone has most of their lives documented on social media. And none of it is that interesting. Remember when you used to glimpse someone regularly and wonder about them? It was intriguing and so sexy! People are so obsessed with themselves now, its really quite tasteless.
It's gotten so out of hand that we have parents, since the 2000s, posting their children's faces all over the internet, despite knowing how unsafe it is for them and their kids being too young to understand the negative consequences, even posting embarrassing content that would make their kids a target for bullying or even harmful content that pedophiles would enjoy, or posting what school their child goes to and other private information. All because mommy and daddy need likes and clout.
I hate mystery

"Now the Actors just Show Up, and play the Same Roles, Over and Over again."
Couldn't have said it Better Myself.
Reminds me of the "actress" who did the protagonist in "the Acolyte". In one of her interviews she explicitly said how she was given the role. Like, she didn't rehearse for it. There was no selection process to find the best actor. She was "given" the role bcs it fit her RL personality and her socio-political views so well. She never once acted in her entire life, but always just literally played herself.
Honestly, compare Thor 1/Avengers Thor to how he was in the 3rd and 4th movie. These actors only want to play themselves.
A lot of actors don't even act properly, they just stay there with a wooden face and call it "stoic"
@@Xurelbes You're ABSOLUTELY correct! They don't want to Act anymore; they just want that Paycheck!
If actors aren't any good at there jobs or more like "careers" there is a casting couch
And then they aren't inheritantly good anyways but if they are good at there jobs then you have to worry about how bad that real person really is.

@@raquelgeneve haha, well hopefully people will wake up from their idiocracy
Kudos! Aaw that's so sweet of those of yous.
People don't care, true. But not just because they came to this epiphany on their own. We can't afford to care. We don't have the attention spans to care about them anymore. Not only is our media landscape fragmented (so there's less incentive to buy in to "the popular movies or shows" that everyone else is watching as purchase on social capital) but also our attention is fragmented. Celebrity culture seems so dull and vain and superficial compared to outrage culture online, doomerism, etc.
Then maybe you don't know that many people, there's always a consumer for products in the market .
The pandemic really showed everyone how narcissistic celebs are
I'm wishing people would stop buying into Taylor Swift's "All American Girl Boss" persona soon. It's gotten tiring seeing the media treat her like she's some kind of otherwordly being you can't criticise.

The saddest thing in life is not when someone gets tired of too much pain, it's when they get tired of too much pleasure. Truly a hollow and decaying feeling. Graveyards are FULL of young "celebrities"
What's even sadder is that they simply reflect the misery of the country - Celebrities are just on display so their addicted, depressing lives are exposed more.
@ChildrensRightsFirst947 I respectfully disagree. I think that the reason why celebrities are failing, as per the video, is because many people are seeing the hollow lies that their lives are. With all the sex, drugs, debauchery, etc. and, in turn, pulling away from Hollywood.

And some of those young celebrities were SOLD into that life by their parents.

It's not that celebrities aren't "special" anymore. It's that everyone is now a celebrity. Which basically means the same thing. Thanks, social media.
They in fact, are no longer special. They’re shallow and most of them stand for absolutely nothing. Glad people aren’t giving them the attention they keep begging for anymore
Not really. Just because you noticed one thing doesn't mean that thing is more crucial than the thing the video talks about.

It isn’t 15 minutes though, that’s why it’s so gratifying to see this happen. Because it has been lasting for YEARS. So it’s not 15 minutes of fame, it’s 15 years of fame.
15 years of fame
@@aycaiix The problem is that people don't ask WHY these celebrities became so famous... and WHY all these celebrities try their best to brainwash people into becoming bigots, racists and "victims" all the time... it's because these celebrities and who becomes a celebrity is hand picked by the owners of the world (billionaires) and celebrities are their puppets that try to do their best to divide the people... force racism and sexism and all the other isms into every conversation to pit men against women, black against white etc because the owners are afraid of one thing... the people waking up and realizing that together they hold all the power... that the owners of the world are owning us only because we haven't realized that we can take their power away if we truly unite... that no matter how rich they are, they can't go against billions of people around the world if those billions realize they've been lied to for decades and that they all face the exact same problems in their lives... because it doesn't matter if you're black or white or yellow or a blue smurf, man or a woman...
The problems are the same for all of us... quality of life is at it's lowest... people that have entry level jobs at big companies nowadays can't even afford the very basic need of being able to rent a decent home (let alone people that work 2 and 3 bullshit jobs just to barely get by)... prices are going up constantly while salaries haven't gone up in the last 20 years and in many countries like mine (I'm Greek) have even gone down by about 30% since the 2000's...
They have used celebrities to brainwash people and created a fake illusion of the "great life" while they suck the people's wealth and hide all their dirty money in Panama, Marshall Islands, Cayman and every other "tax paradise" cause they take it all and give nothing back... we're paying their taxes cause the rich pay NOTHING... and celebrities are their hound-dogs for keeping the sheep always nice and quiet in the sweet little cage they've made for us...
THAT is way celebrities exist...

I truly believe the shift changed during Covid lock downs. We were forced to focus on ourselves and prioritize what was important in our life while the celebrities got to stay in lock down in their huge mansions and had the nerve to complain about how bad it was. People lost jobs , kids lost proper education,many lives were lost. It woke up a lot of people.
I've just written almost exactly what I see you have written. Lockdowns really showed up the cracks. Watching some of them whining and breaking down when they were so privileged with space and luxury homes really opened up my eyes and now I'm very particular as to who I can stomach watching. I'm done with most of them. And if they try and share life skills or political views, I can't switch them off quickly enough.
And they lectured about how we should "stay at homes" while they were throwing parties, and next thing you know they are all lecturing us about who we should vote for.
I believe that God has had enough of their debauchery.
@@adrienchl4265 Throwing parties on their private islands.
Lecturing us about our carbon footprint when they are tooling around the planet on private jets. But thats ok because somebody planted a tree.
I also agree 100%. While I do believe the main driver is social media both showing us other people tobe sources of entertainment, the biggest trigger were the lockdowns as not only did people suddenly struggled heavily, at that same exact time the celebrities were posting more than ever about how they are "also suffering". Remember when a bunch of them sang Imagine while in the middle of their fleshed out mansions and a song that starts with "there is no heaven" with almost certain someone's watching was having their grandma on a ventilator dying.
It evaporated bevause anyone can be a star with a phone and a youtube channel...celebs arent 100 miles away anymore, now theyre next door, down the road.
There's this quote: "Great minds discuss ideas, average minds discuss events, small minds discuss people."

It is high time our society abolishes celebrity culture, these narcissistic people do not care about you neither do they know about your existence, all they care about is money, fame, success, idolization and power. It has always been this way.
The world needs to wake up and focus on the things that truly matter.

I recently had foot surgery and for the past 3 months I have been situated in bed with my foot elevated so I was unable to maneuver myself in the living room at night while my husband watched TV. Before the surgery I was already getting so bored with anything on TV (including movies) and then after the surgery while in bed I was either reading, studying Italian, drawing, or watching YT videos on travel, gardening, home decorating. I didn’t realize how much Celebrity Culture (along with boring TV/movie formula) and even TV commercials was making me very sad… and now that I have my mind back, I am so much more balanced and happy. Many years ago I saw a bumper sticker that said… “Hide from your TV”…. How true… Americans in particular need to stop worshipping celebrities and buying whatever it is they are selling….Stop being sheep… While they are living the life of their dreams, they thrive off of us eating their crumbs…

It is beyond social media its paparazzi its interviews its the thirst they have ... they want their fans more than their fans want them..
Yep it showed us who they really are, entitled rich assholes but forget their selling a product the the public then shits on them. Hollywood is a cult.
This explains why Hollywood seems to hate genuine people like Henry Cavill and a few others. People with real talent who keep to themselves about their personal lives and merely show admiration for the subject matter pertaining to their work (like Henry's love for the actual source material for projects that he does).
I think this also means that private people like him aren't busted doing things they shouldn't, like, say, going to a P. Diddy party and are thus not subject to blackmail.
Yeah, no, Henry Cavill is a good looking misogynist. If he blabber about his ideas most women would hate him.

Jordan knew that he was just a basketball player and people loved him for his abilities on the court... he wasn't a fake ass "philosopher", telling people what to do and having an "opinion" on everything like Lebron is today... which is even funnier because Lebron tells his "opinions" (all publicity stunts obviously) all the time while being an uneducated dumbass that hasn't read a book in his life and Jordan shut the fuck up because it wasn't his business to tell people what to do and in the very very few interviews he's done in his life you can tell he's highly intelligent...
You left out people like Denzel Washington and Keanu Reeves. This two are real role models.
There are plenty of grounded actors in Hollywood, but most of them have paid their dues and have spent a lifetime shaping the kind of world they want to live in. They haven't sold their souls, but they aren't going to be offered any new jobs anytime soon. Dean Cain is one actor who comes to mind. He's not popular, and you're not going to see him in any new, big-budget films anytime soon, but he takes a stand against what Hollywood has become.
Scarlett Johansson is one such too, she doesn't have any social media, rarely is seen in interviews, idk but I think she is genuine.

Celebrity back then was a bit more “accidental”. Actors like Jimmy Stuart enjoyed the art of acting but outside of his movies he had a private life and never forgot his beginnings.
He and others were also real actual heroes, willing to risk their lives for a war they thought was just. Edited to add: My brother was a very high end restaurant waiter and met Jimmy Stewart and the actor just wanted to chat a bit with him. He said Jimmy Stewart was really nice and just wanted some non--Hollyood talk for a few.

Mm but it’s not just about being quiet. She was saying movie stars of old were also extraordinarily talented. Multitalented. There are a handful of good actors who are tight lipped but almost none are also vastly talented in many areas. 🤷🏼♀️
Yeah the majority of them today are basically groomed from childhood to be actors… come from means to help them get ins… and often times are not very talented in their craft… much less have other talents.
Cillian Murphy(hope I spelt his name right) is who you're referring to😊he also does a grand job in Peaky Blinders which is his most memorable role.
Cillian Murphy is not on social media, he doesn't know how to use it, doesn't understand the terms... his confused face in an interview when he was told about the CM disappointed face meme and his response was, what's a meme? Priceless
@@SabrinaLWilliamsyeah, he is a brilliant ❤
The so-called movie stars don't understand how much they're despised outside the Hollywood bubble.
That reminds me of one my favorite rap lyrics _‘Suckers don’t know how bad I’m at ‘em’._ Obviously, meaning his opposition isn’t even aware of just much venom and wrath he has for them.
@@jerryspringerinheaven so true
Tom Cruise is a Scientologist. We DO know too much about him. He gives me gross 🤢
Did this person forget that Jackie Chan and Jet Li they also do their own stunt work because I remember people saying that Jackie Chan got hurt a lot for doing his own stunt work. In the movie Lethal Weapon 4 the director had to tell Jet Li to slow down when it came to the fighting scenes because he was too fast lol 😂
Yeah.. I can't stand Tom Cruise
Why though??
Did he ever recommend or suggest or encourage anyone to join...?
Seriously, I don't know. This is genuine question...
@@lancetaytayninh Yeah whatever stunts Tom Cruise actually does (who knows how much of his stuntman image is actually fake), guys like Jackie Chan are the true legends. Hollywood with all its money never made or will make action scenes that are as impressive as those in Jackie Chan movies from his good years.
Only a weak person will idolise celebrities.
This is why I don't want to know more about my favorite celebs outside of their work. I just enjoy their craft and skill when they're on screen.
And when they open their mouths and start spouting what they feel, what they believe, what their ideologies are, and whet they’ve turned their kids into, I’m done. No matter how much I like a show, as soon as they do all that, I quit watching. Definitely liked them better when there was some mystery. Making me know them makes me not like them!
Agree, people need to separate the actor or singer from the person, its about the art and what they produce. You dont have to like someone to respect their craft.
I don’t even enjoy their work anymore. I’ve watched a handful of movies and left others midway since lockdown. I’ve re-discovered nature, travel and have taken up music. I’ve forgotten hollyweird even existed
@@ybrenner3382🙌💯
@MorgMorg-uf6ps they're the ones that insist on telling us about themselves. That's when they blow it. Because strangely enough being able to act, sing doesn't make them super anymore than being a brick layer does, or a secretary a solicitor, librarian, care worker, dinnerlady, joiner.....I think I've made my point. They just act. And some are pretty good at their trade. But they're still no more special than anyone else
We were all told years ago... Beware of false idols..
Actually, just idols. If an idol is false, then one is misdirecting their faith to what isn't. And if it is real, then it is guaranteed to be a demon in disguise (even if the entity it poses as seems outwardly good).
@@benrositas8068 Are all celebrities/idols evil/bad? It seems like a lot of them are nowadays.
I believe the quote you are looking for is “no good comes from hero worship” , lex Luthor said that in Injustice: Gods Among us
It bothers me when influencers show off, like it always has when celebrities do. I'm not a fan of influencers.
I just turned 45 and I lived in the Age of Celebrities and I'm glad that Age is over. You young people reading this didn't miss anything, believe me.
The second celebrities decided to “use their voice” or “use their plate form “ is the second everyone started to hate them and their work.
That’s not entirely true. Celebrities were a part of spreading the Civil Rights Movement as well as raising money to take care of soldiers during WW2. Celebrities having a voice isn’t the problem it’s that this generation of stars doesn’t know how to use their voice effectively.
er because hollywood has blackmail material on them?
It's not a new thing, stars of old Hollywood were political too, it's only amplified now because of social media
I worked in Hollywood for 18 years..
NOT as an actor , as an artist/ designer...I contributed my work on TWO Acadamy Award nominated films ( one of those films my work was SCRIPTED in the film ).....My work has been featured in several movie posters anonymously...My work was featured in the opening credits of 150 million dollar productions...Never got a credit..
I met some good people , but most of the time I was treated like SH*T !!!...
Working in that town was a constant "DIRTY TRICKS " campaign...
Lots of broken promises...I worked twice as hard for half as much...Meanwhile there was huge sums of money everywhere...
That town destroyed my career and I haven't worked on my art in 15 years...
Anything beautiful in that town gets ripped to shreds...
Maybe you should talk about it more get your story out there the internet is very good at getting people what they deserve expose em
Put your art on the internet, I wish more people would do this. I don’t even bother trying to watch movies anymore. I’m watching stuff mostly on TH-cam. Canceling streaming and just gonna stick to my dvd library of my fav stuff. And TH-cam lol. But if there was another platform to watch actual good movies, then I’d go there. But the current status quo is just not worth the time even.
Copyright your work
@@Vineethajojo $17,000 it cost me to trademark and copyright my name in the U.S and Japan....My attorney was referred through DreamWorks Studios....In Hollywood it's not the level of the work you do , it's who gets PICKED...If your attorney won't fight for you it doesn't matter what's on paper... It's who gets picked.. Trying to fight the people who are supposed to fight for you can get you offed.....I see the comments and people's sincerity is commendable but unless you have been in that town and understand how the " Hollywood machine" operates you would have zero idea how it really all works... Hollywood is a powerful cabal..It used to be more powerful than it is today but it still has SWAY over alot of the creativity that gets recognized in this world... For example , you want front page coverage in a Japanese magazine!!? , you better have an "A" list actor or musician seen wearing your work or Japan will NEVER come knocking....The one thing is , they called me , I didn't call them , I never went looking for a job in that industry...I appreciate the comments though...There is a lyric in a QUEEN song "Keep Yourself Alive"...It goes like this " Now they say your folks are telling you , Be a super star , well I tell you just be satisfied and stay right where you are .. KEEP YOURSELF ALIVE " !.. Freddie Mercury knew..
Thanks anyway for the comments...best!
@@specialroy2140 So you can't even copyright your work!?
Are you doing design or writing ? because if you're doing freelancing I pretty sure you'll have the upper hand,if you're doing design
Blake Lively should apologize to Princess Catherine for bullying her while she was recovering from major surgery & chemo, & both Blake & Ryan should apologize to Justin Baldoni for trying to destroy his career for no good reason. Honestly, they’ve destroyed their reputations; it doesn’t matter what they do or so to a lot of people because now everyone has seen their evil, bullying, abusing behavior & that can’t be unseen now. They should go away.
But they're venture capitalists and people are going to follow and kowtow to money. See how the cast sided with Blake and Ryan. As far as major media goes, Ryan and Blake's lives will go on as normal and with normal coverage. This blunder will not in any way unfortunately diminish their media "star" power because they have money and connections.
А разве там был буллинг? И разве она не извинилась?
I still like them. I don't give a shit about the drama
Who?
It's not that we don't need celebrities we need better role models
Being rich doesn’t equate being happy, which is completely obvious when they still treat people terribly and bemoan their lives.
I think the problem is they go all over social media and tell people who they really are... what made celebrities previously was people could use their imaginations and pretend that actors and singers were anything other than just regular human beings with all the same flaws.
whats the saying? never get to know your heroes?
Exactly. Too much information these days.
Best not to make anyone from Hollywood a hero
@@donquixotemom ok i'll phrase it differently... it's your imagination that lets you see an actor in a movie as the character in the movie, but when you learn about who they actually are in real life, it's really hard to separate what you know about them in reality from the person they're pretending to be in the movie, and that's why there aren't really any movie stars anymore.
Except their flaws are exacerbated due to being in a permissive environment with tons of money, fame and power. It’s easier to be a nice person when you have consequences for a hole behavior
@@eddiejohnson4434 well there are the exceptions, obvioiusly, the only rule there is no exception to is that there's an exception to every rule.
The showing off backfires. Most people are struggling with costing living/low salaries. These celebrities charge fans excessively for concerts etc which is disgusting.
Like Taylor Swift (for example)
Something interesting is we the people are supposed to pay hefty inflation-riddled prices for not just concerts but also for businesses. Handling fee for food? Delivery fee for big utensils for a B2C? The hell?
The worst thing about celebrities is that they think they actually earned the money they amass
They did. There entertainers. Entertainers deserve money.
When they started preaching their political views in 2015/16, I quit Hollywood. If a movie looked good, I would do my research. You are not getting my hard earned dollars
Yep, and the transgender gay thing. I don’t care, but I don’t want my kids ,as young as they are ,listening to this topic.
Hollywood movies are shown worldwide not just to an American audience.
Preaching of political views isn't a new thing, it's more blatant now because of social media
THIS
they preach thier politics to common folks from their million dollar mansions yet will never follow one thing they follow
A perfect example of this to me is Brie Larson. I was excited to see Capitan Marvel. However, after I heard her lecturing white men about a movie. She ruined her image.
Honestly audiences want to hear 3 simple things from actors.
1. It was a fun movie to make.
2. But it is a lot of work.
3. You should see it because we made a good entertaining film
@@somethingclever8916 exactly!!!
@@somethingclever8916 Except now it's....
3. It's not a good, entertaining film.
2. It's a lot of work compared to what? Also, bitching about the work but not the multi million dollar paycheque.
1.It was fun to make.... pay no attention to the off camera drama and diva behaviour.
Brie Larson: "iT wAsN't MaDe FoR yOu!"
Half of potential viewers: K, I'll take my money elsewhere then
Brie Larson: "Movie failed cuz MiSoGyNee!!"
😆This lady somehow can't grasp the concept of cause and effect
@@LadyDecember damn right
People all around the world are awakening spiritually. When this happens, you begin to crave authenticity. Celebrities tend to represent the opposite. A large part of their focus is on “me” - what I’m wearing, owning, doing. Very few are interested in the betterment of humanity and bringing a present awareness into this reality. It’s becoming much easier to see through, especially when so many are also struggling to make ends meet.
After the literal year of the beat, 2016 (666+666+666+6+6+6), the year Western society really started falling apart at the seams, it’s like that year was the beginning of the end and the end of the beginning for good and evil in the world- mainly the western world (for me) as that’s what I’m predominantly exposed to; like BIG things that have never been questioned before were set by God to over time/now, be exposed, burn away slowly, or straight up die.
Like it’s all wayyy too coincidental when I look back at it all over the years; just the way everything is turning out over the years- like a random global pandemic on a mirrored, decade breaking year?! Maybe humanity just decided to be extremely stupid that very special year and coincidentally, accidentally brought upon an entire global plague on humanity which we’ve haven’t had to deal with to such magnitudes for how long!? Marking a unfathomably bad start to the new ‘modern’ decade now making people talk about each year separately like each one is an abusive ex they’ve experienced trauma from.
Like humanity in general now just seems like it’s just hurting the most it’s ever have due to the romanticization and rewarding of publicly being a victim, while others are healing from acute to severe trauma caused during or before 2020 and trying to make changes in their lives, while other people are doing both, or even one at a time simultaneously, while mainstream media as a whole is completely changing… what is happening in the world right now?
Maybe we’re just being on the internet too much consuming this type of content about current society and these thing don’t really matter as much as we think they do if we practice common sense and rational to understand celebrities were always just regular humans at the end of the day like you and I, flawed creatures, logically, emotionally, no matter how skilled in an specific area.
Unless someone changes the course of history for humanity for the better, they should not be worshipped.
In fact, nothing should be *worshipped.* Things should be admired, respected and have inspiration be taken from to continue the good qualities of humanity for humanity’s sake.
Philanthropy is fake. Let's see real celebrities trying to better others like Russell Brand, he does seem really spiritually aware and truly trying to change the world in an authentic way
@@aaaaaaaaaaaaa420 not trying to be funny but russell brand is an accused r*pist.
