China movie studio embraces Communist Party as industry turns red Peterlee Jul 18, 09:15

In fact, most of the China films in productions are propaganda films.... {nm} Peterlee Jul 18, 09:16

So are more and more American films {nm} Nobody Jul 18, 09:26

What American films do you see as propaganda films? {nm} RogerMore Jul 18, 09:30

Death of a Nation? Wilderness_Journey Jul 18, 09:33

Not related to China, not state funded. But yes, that "film" is garbage, another in a long line from that particular "filmmaker" {nm} HurricaneKid Jul 18, 09:36

The liberal progressive ideology and their social justice agenda is pervasive in modern films {nm} Nobody Jul 18, 09:37

that american is bad and needs to be less american? what film was that? {nm} Moviesnob Jul 18, 09:43

Those good old days of a film era of non-diversity, discrimination and social injustice! {nm} Antibody Jul 18, 09:43

The days when actors could be cast because of their suitability for the role, rather than by affirmative action, for example {nm} Nobody Jul 18, 09:52

Like Mickey Rooney, John Wayne and Linda Hunt playing Asians. {nm} Antibody Jul 18, 09:55

Yes actors cast for a different race was and is ridiculous, no doubt {nm} Nobody Jul 18, 09:57

Then you are for progress and inclusion of Asian-Americans in Hollywood that corrects a past social injustice. {nm} Antibody Jul 18, 10:02

Of course Asian actors should be cast in Asian roles. I attribute the ridiculous casting in the past to a lack of ethic actors with Nobody Jul 18, 10:06

The days of casting actors "because of their suitability for the role" usually meant that you only casted a minority for a minority role bennyg1985 Jul 18, 10:08

Why is that when a white person wins a role, it's "talent", but when a minority gets it it's "affirmative action"? {nm} Antibody Jul 18, 10:11

You are well aware that progressive pressure for mandatory diversity and "inclusion" affects casting decisions. Why a black Ariel, for Nobody Jul 18, 10:14

Why not a black Airel? She's mermaid. {nm} Antibody Jul 18, 10:15

The animated Ariel was white. Why would the live action actor be black? Mandatory casting of non-white actors. Racism {nm} Nobody Jul 18, 10:19

To be fair, it seems she should be of a greenish hue - half fish and all {nm} Wilderness_Journey Jul 18, 10:20

Excellent point! At the very least she should have webbed toes. {nm} forlorne Jul 18, 11:43

In the case of several actors and actresses, it certainly isn't talent. {nm} Wilderness_Journey Jul 18, 10:18

If the system does not allow for ethnic actors to typically be leads, then that is racist, whether it is deliberate or not {nm} bennyg1985 Jul 18, 10:11

Define "Asian". Define "white". List what "diversity" means other than melanin content of skin. {nm} forlorne Jul 18, 11:42

I think that’s less about a social agenda and more about an economic one - it’s a lowest common denominator approach to RogerMore Jul 18, 10:22

exactly {nm} Moviesnob Jul 18, 10:26

Diversifying modern films is a good thing. The problem is mandatory "inclusion" that demands a non-white actor. That is racism {nm} Nobody Jul 18, 10:30

It's economics. {nm} RogerMore Jul 18, 10:44

Mandatory? Who is holding a knife to the throats of studio executives? {nm} HurricaneKid Jul 18, 11:32

When do we get Wolf Warrior 3, thats all i care about {nm} Moviesnob Jul 18, 09:53

Well hello Nobody. Welcome aboard. Place could use more diversity opinion. {nm} VictorY Jul 18, 12:21

It could certainly use more perspectives from women and people of colour, who are actually underrepresented here. RogerMore Jul 18, 14:40
