Film historians have made two major criticisms of Depression-era filmmakers: first, that they were too uncritical of the economic status quo; and second, that they self-indulgently created films reflecting their own dreams and desires. ████████ █████ ██████████ ████ █████ ██████ ████ ██ ███ ██ ███████ ███ ██ ████ ████████ ████ █████ █████████ ████ ██████ ██ █ █████ █ ██████ ██ ███████ █████ ███████ ██████ ███ ██ ████ █ ████ ██ ███ ██████ █████ ███ ██████ █████████ ██████ ██ █████████
Summary
Film historians’ criticism about Depression-era filmmakers, that the filmmakers self-indulgently created films reflecting their own dreams and desires, can’t be accurate. Why? These filmmakers gave their audiences what they wanted most in a film: a chance to imagine being wealthy enough not to have to worry.
Missing Connection
The author concludes that the film historians’ criticism must be inaccurate. As a premise, the author says that the filmmakers provided what their audiences most wanted in a film: the chance to imagine being wealthy enough to not have a care in the world.
How to get from the premise to the conclusion? The author’s conclusion follows logically if we assume that when filmmakers give their audiences what they want most in a film, the filmmaker couldn’t have made the movie self-indulgently.
