After 1900 Utopian TLs

You can only have utopia when everyone is happy and content, and where everyone really functions for the betterment of everyone, and where everyone gains- these are impossible to achieve. For example, "Land of Milk and Honey" showcases a Russia where oligarchs are still in power. Power, power, power- although they made steps to improve Russian Society, it is implied there that those oligarchs would still keep some things in place so that they would still be in power. That is not good for many normal citizens.

There are good benefits for some, but in the process some people also go down. That's why utopias are impossible to achieve.

Here in the Philippines, even if the Administration (or part of it) is doing everything they could to improve the Philippine economy, rallies and social malcontent are still a norm.

I did say that my Dices and Rivers TL is not utopian, but in most- ok maybe some (as I have said there would still be people going down). So no TL can be utopian.




That's an excerpt from Mr. Tony's A Song Was Heard in China. Everyone will just ask for more.



That's not good for those directors, producers and actors who have passion for it.

It all boils down to this: it is hard to satisfy people. You can never, in your lifetime, be content with such material and physical things.
It sounds like, for instance, Gay people wouldn't be very happy in your TL.

IMO, the entire genre, more of a fad that hasn't faded yet, revolves around profitting and not a passion for film.
More than likely if this FAD was butterflied away in some TL then these production crews could be doing something better with their talents, if they are one of the few who actually has some.

Anyway I agree about utopias. As I had stated, one man's utopia is another man's dystopia.

I have edited my expectations to make things clearer.

As other have pointed out, it's difficult to find conditions where individuals can play nicely together for more than five minutes in contentment and harmony. I think it's a cynical truth, but sometimes the best we can expect is a state of controlled contention. The greatest good for the greatest number?
