It is an issue of the open disdain so popular among Hollywood's elite for people with conservative ideas and value-centered lives. Julia Robert is vulnerable, lovable and believable. We love her for the person we believe her to be based on the characters she creates on screen. As a result, she also happens to be one of the ten most powerful women in Hollywood. We too easily forget and forgive the fact she is immoral in her personal life, liberal in her philosophies and an open advocate of ideas and actions that erode traditional values.
Movies impact our social mores.
For good and for evil for better or for worse. We learn by the examples of the characters who grace the screen but we are also influenced by our affection for the actors who bring the characters to life. The great risk to someone illuminated by artificial light and a chorus of flattering voices is that they are blind to pure light and deaf to true messengers. Julia Roberts is the personification of Hollywood. She stands on the elevated pedestal of adoration, the Crown Princess atop the Rameumptom of popular culture.
