I dont think she's quite got the point. |
It's a bit ****ty to focus on James Bond. It was written by a white man, writing for white men, about a white man seducing women, firing guns and driving fast cars. The films adapted from that. It is what it is. Hollywood doesn't focus on bringing brand new stories to the forefront, it's more obsessed with franchises for blockbusters, biopics for character transformations and little-guy-facing-adversity type films for the same kind of character transformations that critics love, seeing actors dress up/down and portray a heartbreaking story. I agree that it's unfair that there aren't so many roles for ethnic minorities, but it begs the question, what exactly do we want to see? It would be phoned in to have a black James Bond because of reasons outlined above; it would be better to have original stories, but about what? I think there are some incredible TV producers and actors and actresses who are doing much more to break down racial and gender barriers, and also TV seems to be getting a better budget in general and is becoming more exciting than film anyway... I much prefer investing in a well produced 10 hour long series of something like Game of Thrones or How To Get Away With Murder or Grey's Anatomy or some other huge TV show that will tell a proper story and allow for better character development than a 90 minute long film that lives and dies by its box office takings.

Who is this ho talmbout maybe there weren't enough good black actors, bitch please. Straight outta compton smashed it, Idris and Michael B Jordon. There's no reason why any of those at least couldn't be nominated, specially Michael B when the film was being praised and Stallone was recognized. Wtf is that medicocre film with Steve Carrell. Another wallstreet type with white guys corrupting each other?:sleep: Maybe if we didn't have asswipes like Matt Damon tamlbout blacks in terms of diversity are ok in the casting but not the writers room, things might've been different.

I hope more film actors bite the bullet and star gunning for TV roles because there are far more exciting shows on TV than there are films I want to see. |

I also think that there are minorities who actually never get a chance to feature in Hollywood films unlike African-Americans which might be a bit of a stupid thing to point out but I do think is worth considering - take the film Aloha, it was universally panned for whitewashing its cast and rightly so, but I couldn't name you a single actor other than maybe Dwayne Johnson who's a famous Pacific Islander actor. Lucy Liu is one of a very few East Asian faces in Hollywood. Are there even any Indian subcontinent actors? Arab actors?

See, when you have to go back 8 years to find an example.. it usually indicates a minority is under-represented. Also it was a movie set in India.. so it makes sense that they would have an Indian actor. Why do they have to do that only for a role that involves poverty? Why not just have more southasian main characters? Or even just friends of main characters in all movies? |

But yeah let's deny it if it's not what you want to hear, I'm fine with that. |

Anyone see Ice Cube on the Graham Norton Show? He had an interesting point to make. He said you get lots of accolades in the movie business and didn't seem unduly worried that Straight Outta Compton was only nominated for Best Screenplay. He also said:
"How could you be mad because one other academy or guild or whatever didn't say we're No. 1 … It's crying about not having enough icing on your cake." http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/new...er-used-858446 |
