The country is sick of this "politically correct" garbage, and it has shown at the box office.

[@Joez86]

@@tom_reagan He's DEAD RIGHT. I worked in the industry for 35 years and I watched them (the woke DESTROY IT). The film industry is primarily a business of ART. The artists need to create as they see fit. Nobody needs or wants someone's input who doesn't have a stake in the process. Democrats have a major problem staying in their own back yard. You don't believe me compare the box office demand to previous years. Money talks and nobody wants what Hollywood is pushing. What's next? ... you gonna start telling me who's funny and who's not?

It's even worse than that. Equivalent would be - You are looking for drummer, but gotta take guitarist to fill that spot, just because he is certain color/ethnicity. Or you don't need a violinist for your band, but you need to add him because of this BS.

[@KC-shunting]

But the thing is, quota-filling is going to get worse. What happens when you have a band with a black, an Asian, an Hispanic, a tranny, and someone with Cerebral palsy? Well, then you'll be told you need someone with a leg off (landmine victim or surfer who couldn't swim faster than a shark). And then what?

Richard Dreyfuss is an old school liberal. He is not a liberal as they are known today. The old school liberals were at least civil and understanding.

I would sit down and converse with an old school liberal in a heartbeat. These liberals today I tend to stay away from because they get so violent and so angry. In Their warped minds they're fighting against the Nazis yet. Somehow they do not see they have become the Nazis themselves. They do not believe in free speech nor freedom of religion.

[@chrisb.2741]

The truth is that actors ARE PRETENDING to be something or someone they are not while acting out a role. Whichever actor is selected for any particular role should always be selected because they seem to be the most convincing in that role. The actor that can best fool an audiences' mind in EVERY aspect into believing that is the actual character and forgetting it is an actor, is the best actor for the role. They should be so convincing that the audience forgets that they are watching the actor and instead actually watching the real life non-fictional or fictional character. If you're casting a person of a different skin color from that of the actual or written character for the role and for the reason that they are a different skin color from the actual or written character, then you have already lost the majority of your would-be audience. This goes especially if it is a person of a certain race who is held with high esteem or absolute hatred within that same race. You would never cast a white guy because he's white to be Fredrick Douglas or Mohamed Farrah Aidid nor would you cast a black man because he's black to play Abraham Lincoln or Adolf Hitler. Imagine a black or white guy because they are black or white playing Bruce Lee or Mao Tse Tung. It's ridiculous and people hate this type of thing because it takes away from actual truth and doesn't allow the viewer to full appreciate the full love or hate for the character. In other words, it sucks. If they are cast in the role because they were the best, most convincing and make-up could hide their true race well, then cast them in the role I say. This also goes for beloved hero or hated villain fictional characters as well. But don't cast people in roles of a different race from the character simply because they are a different race from the character and then present the character a an altogether different race.
