Scorsese and Tarantino have good movies. When I think of the golden age of Hollywood I think great movies. Not necessarily about the race. Denzel Washington has had some great movies for instance. What is killing entertainment is the obsession with diversity. That has lead to hiring no talent writers and actors based on checking a box
It also seems to lead to terrible characterisation. Because we have a diverse cast playing diverse characters, we mustn't ever put them through any adversity, because that would be problematic.
And so the character - every character - turns to porridge.
What a perfect example of good cinema. He's a great actor and generally selected high quality films to act in. For most people "it's a Denzel Washington movie" means it's worth checking out.
You can't just throw people with random skin tones in movies and then get mad because the audience doesn't watch them. If an actor and movie are good, people will watch them.
Yep. If you want people to care about a mom white or female lead then make something good. I’m so tired of them hiring people who check a box or directors openly show disdain for source material. Stop hiring activists under the guise of diversity

And that makes for a boring story because you can guess pretty much any plot that has the proper modern day diversity
