Yeah. I think that this year, I have only (re-)watched 70's and 80's movies.
And in every single one of them, it felt like everyone was their character first, instead of just showing up present and in attendance in order to tick off the next box on a diversity checklist.
Fast forward to 2020, and almost every single time, this woke bullshit comes up, it's not so much "telling different stories from marginalised people's perspectives", but just "we're going to shit on everything you love and hold dear, and you're going to pay us for the privilege."
They march under the banner of anti-racism, and they talk about how they want to end racism, but they are nothing more than race hustlers who need to ensure they have a constant stream of (often fabricated) injustice to campaign against.
Man, I rewatched john carpenter's They Live this week and holy shit Keith David knocked it out of the fucking park in that movie. And at no point in the entire movie is there any mention or cop-out to the fact he's a black man. He's just a construction worker like everyone else. So fucking refreshing. No gratuitious shot of the evil white supervisor bullying him because he's black, no random-ass references to how much easier the white workers have it. Nothing. Just two like-minded people, one white, one black, who are both in a shitty situation and decide to fucking do something about a global conspiracy.
This exactly. They aren't being good actors, they are just roleplaying a checkbox.
