I don't know about paid, but it was certainly imposed on him by Universal in order to qualify for awards.
There's no doubting that at all.
that makes sense
Have you seen the trailer for the next Robert Egger's movie? I think literally everyone in the trailer is period accurate aka white. Does he have the autistic dedication/conviction to force the academy to follow their own rules and deny him any nominations? That would really be something. Arguably the best living filmmaker more or less telling Holltwood to pound sand?
Yes, he's an Indie filmmaker from New Hampshire and we're very proud to claim him. There's a reference to NH in all his scripts. "The Witch" is set in New Hampshire, along the Merrimack River. In "The Northman", Olga prays and offers to plant a Birch Forest. The White Birch is the State Tree of NH. "The Lighthouse" is based on the Isles of Shoals, etc.
He only makes films for himself, and he is unshakably loyal to the historic accuracy of his films. The witches actually speak in real Enochian, for example. Unlike Christopher Nolan, everyone in "The Witch" speaks period-correct 17th-century English referenced from Jacobean-era Calvinist journals, court records, and Salem witch trial transcripts. The same for "Nosferatu" most recently.
He's not Catholic (yet!), at "best" he's a pagan, but he's a loyal steward of representing White folklore on screen. I admire all his films that I've seen. Spooky stuff -- hearing Enochian for the first time was overwhelming; I had to walk out of the theater for a minute -- but his films are "wicked smart" and authentic.
