I like movies.
In fact, I like movies so much, I watch trailers.
Sometimes when life is a complete drag and I need a little pick me up- I’ll take a quickie visit to the good ole Apple trailer website to watch some of the exciting flicks that will be coming to a theater near me.
This time around I noticed that diversity in American movies are drastically absent, true this is have been a horrible problem since movies have been invented. I mean, when one of the great celebrated grandfathers of film is about the KKK, surely the film industry is going to have some racial problem, but come on people…. it’s 2010!!!!!
2010 is future time!!!!! Shouldn’t we try to aim for some harmony and shit? Okay I know, I’m coming from the hippie ass bay area where all races are pretty much represented and even here there is a lot of self segregation- but maybe if we started to show everyone getting along together in “FANTASY MOVIE LAND” we could start to imply to the audience that- hey it’s okay to have a splash of color during your party scene. Movies are cast within an inch of itself… each person is carefully picked and dressed to the director’s desire- so the fact that the majority of the movies that are out and representing AMERICA are so … well… WHITE, it leaves one to believe that the movie biz is PURPOSELY forgetting to acknowledge that other people live here and sometimes we like to hang out with each other without weird racial drama popping up.
ps- I am so sick of these 1950s everything was awesome coming of age smuck messes
