Michael Cieply Executive EditorIf the film industry is ever going to be what it was—just a few short months ago, when pictures as varied as Parasite, 1917, Joker and Little Women were among those vying for honors—it’s going to need more than union safety protocols, disposable seat covers in theaters, and new Oscar inclusion standards, all of which were in the news last week.Those might serve as door-openers in a popular culture that has been nearly shut down by virus and strife.But what Hollywood most needs is something that may or may not be forever out of reach. That is, a movie that actually moves us.Not all of us, of course.
