<Why
are there no happy families in
Hollywood?>
Not every film can
be about the corrosive effects of divorce. Every once in a while it would be
nice to watch a film where the parents are not divorced and the kids are not
trying to reunite them.
At
last count, 41% of American marriages ended in divorce. onscreen, the number is
more like 95%. This may be because every screenwriter in Hollywood is a
25-year-old rich kid whose parents got divorced when he was 10. It’s the reason
horror films are always about kids left at home at night. The kids’ parents are
never there to confront the monster because one lives right upstairs and the
other one lives in Phoenix. Together, they might be able to take down the serial
killer or gigantic insect or vampire or deadly virus. Divorced, they are
powerless.
