Dreams, Life, and Reality, those are the three things that I have frequently seen throughout this entire shows. An appraisal towards Ryan Murphy whose miniseries touches the hearts of millions. A swift change from the grimy yet entertaining American Horror Story and the hard wrenching minorities glitz and glamours of Pose made this film a remarkably refreshing. True, we could not deny that there have been several inconsistencies within the historical accurate depiction of Hollywood's 40 golden age, but we have to see that this is what the Hollywood golden age could have been if there is no prejudices or discriminatory action towards minorities. Men who love men could show the world that love is all the same, women of colored could be an amazing actress without the necessity of being typecast as a ilk crude caricature, and dreams do come true if you put your heart into it. Ryan Murphy excellently twist and bend the fabric of historical accurateness to represent a better version of human society. We could see that people who does not agree with this choices should have know that any great historical changes starts with a dream, life, and reality.

I always wander the idea and possibility how does sexual violence and unadulterated promiscuity come to place. This documentary told me such notion, it gives me glimpse of a culture so foreign to me, yet it hits closer to home. The strong exploitation of female body and the domineering masculinity in a short college spring breaks escalate as a new sensationalize pop culture filled with endless one night stands and sexual expectation. The documentary adhere to the consequences of certain ideas inserted to men and women that escalate to sexual violence. Growing up, we were expected to behave in a certain binary paradigm that affirm certain stereotypes to our gender and sexuality; we were not given the chance to exploit different or non-binary concepts. This is not a mere documentary, but it is also a review on our daily conception of expected behavior as it permeated to our younger generation, along with its' unexpected consequences.
