Brian Grazer told the Aspen Ideas Festival his films are "never political," saying stories such as "Frost/Nixon" aim to explore universal themes and create unity rather than push left-right messages.
Asked whether Hollywood still values curiosity, Grazer said some do, but argued the business has changed sharply in the past four years as streaming-style pay weakens incentives for artists to take risks.
Grazer also said the American dream should not be political, urging people to be grateful to and kind to America as the country approaches its 250th anniversary.
Christina Voros and Joshua Seftel echoed that theme, saying storytelling should challenge echo chambers, leave room for audiences' own interpretations and help people better understand one another.
