Trump does not know anything about film history.

He talks about the Golden Age.

The greatest year in Hollywood was 1939

This has more to do with Trump’s xenophobia

He did not like it when South Korean film Parasite won Best Picture in 2020.

A lot of great films directed in 1939 were directed by European immigrants

For example, Wuthering Weights was directed by William Wyler.
