The Hoax/Color Me Kubrick

The impostor movie is a pressure valve on class consciousness. It asks: Is there any rhyme or reason to the hierarchies that make up our society, or is it all just a confidence game?

The implicit answer (in American movies) is never "yes, the hierarchies that make up our society are in place for a perfectly good reason, and you ought to respect them."

The actor playing the impostor from the lower orders is always an established movie star. Movies are the sacred cow in this church. You’ll see plenty of movies in this genre that show ordinary people rocketing to the top of the social ladder. But you’ll never see one designed to give you the impression that you could have been the star of the movie.
