  • Classic Films for a Modern World: Simone Elias on Old Hollywood’s Relevance Today
    Nov 12 2024

    In this episode of Glimpses, we sit down with the remarkable Simone Elias, a 15-year-old published author whose passion for classic films has led her to write Old Films, Young Eyes: A Teenage Take on Hollywood's Golden Age. Set to release on November 15, 2024, her book explores how old Hollywood movies foreshadowed, influenced, and continue to shape today’s culture in unexpected ways. Simone offers a fresh perspective on everything from the relevance of classic films to today’s image-driven social media landscape, to Hollywood's early reckoning with issues like racism, antisemitism, and gender equality. She even draws parallels between old movies and modern-day cultural icons like Taylor Swift and Lady Gaga. Join us as Simone shares her unique journey as a Gen Z cultural critic, author, and mental health advocate. This episode is a fascinating look at how Hollywood’s Golden Age resonates with new generations and proves that some stories never grow old. You Can Make A Difference: I have spent most of my life telling stories because I believe they can transform our lives and heal the planet. And while you may know me as the creator of Roseanne, Home Improvement, and other milestones from my career, I hung up my hat in Hollywood and started writing stories that encourage kindness, inspire hope, and celebrate goodness I believe stories connect us. Instead of drowning in an ocean of despair, I want to offer tiny islands of hope where readers can stop for a few minutes and think about the goodness that still exists in the world. This pursuit has led to me towards a passionate project and book called Glimpses - a collection of personal essays and spiritual musings that I hope will open hearts, stir thoughts, and trigger conversations about life, love, and all that spiritual stuff. The best part? All of the proceeds from my books, lectures, and seminars will be donated to children’s charities. Get your copy here (https://shorturl.at/EFV28)
