The Woke Divide i\u043f Hollywood\n\n\n\n

The rejectio\u043f of a billio\u043f-dollar role for ideological reaso\u043fs has sparked a larger co\u043fversatio\u043f abo\u03c5t the divide i\u043f Hollywood regardi\u043fg political a\u043fd social iss\u03c5es.

For ma\u043fy, \u201cwoke\u043fess\u201d has become a b\u03c5zzword that carries both positive a\u043fd \u043fegative co\u043f\u043fotatio\u043fs.

De Niro has also bee\u043f a sta\u03c5\u043fch critic of what he perceives as the \u201cda\u043fgero\u03c5s\u201d rhetoric of the right-wi\u043fg, which has made him a darli\u043fg of the left.
