Most Politically Correct Directors?
Include documentaries, too.... I'd add Ken Burns
shareJordan Peele.
shareGreat one. I saw this piece of shit movie called "Get Out" and made my Top 5 worst movies ever.
shareI started watching his Twilight Zone, I got up to the BLM ep and I thought he really blew it in terms of creativity. He just went for a rant rather than doing what would have been truly interesting.
If you haven't seen in it in this ep it was about a black woman who has a TV remote control which can rewind time. She gets stopped by a white cop and each time she keeps rewinding to see if she can do it better. The problem is she becomes more and suspicious in her behaviour, she offers to buy the cop a slice of pie which really makes him more suspicious about her.
So he pulls her over again, this time her son is driving. It all leads to a BLM rally. Ho hum.
Anyway, there was nothing "Twilight Zone" about his series.
I remember one video by a black youtuber that was telling how one of the big problems in black culture is how blacks love to create drama in everything, and how he felt that the biggest difference when he was dealing with white people is that... there was no drama.
Dealing with cops is not rocket science. You keep calm and polite and follow their indications, end of the story. I had once problems in a boundary with a group of (quite aggressive) cops that were convinced I was carrying drugs somewhere in the car. I was patient for around 40 minutes and then I smiled, said 'have a nice day' and continued my travel. End of the problem. They were doing their job, so no reason to be unpolite.
That modern Twilight Zone episode is just an example of that tendency to create drama when there's no need for it.
It's also the victim mentality that gets drummed into certain cultures. We have the same in Australia now some cultures get taught that the "system" is against them so they walk around expecting the worst and when they are rightly or wrongly questioned they feel it is racism or whatever.
The SJW's drive the problem.
And yes with that TZ ep that is exactly what she is doing creating more drama to the point where she looks very suspicious.
Get Out was an awesome black comedy, with a good deal of dramatic tension, a wonderfully dark commentary on race in America, amongst the upper middle class. One of the best films in the last few years.
what problems anyone would have with it I don't know or care. if you can't appreciate a work of genius, that's on you.
We're talking about politically correct here, not about bad directors or bad movies.
shareok, but i don't see what is 'politically correct' about it. maybe i'm missing it. is a deft fantasy take on appropriation PC ?
is racism real or not - if using it as a theme is 'PC', is making up lies about it 'un-PC' ? i guess i don't see the utility of using that as some sort of perjorative appellation.
it seems more to me that ultra-conservatives are branding themes that threaten their narrow worldview in such a way to diminish the work out of hand. a mindless dodge, iow.
if your worldview is so constricted that you find any art/discussion which challenges the present social order worthy of censure, then the problem is you, not the work. because we quite definitely do not live in the best of all possible worlds.
Stop putting words into my mouth. I just wrote "Jordan Peele" and you guessed a lot of things about me based on nothing. Don't assume stuffs out of your ass.
sharei wasn't putting words in your mouth. i was commenting generally.
you didnt invent the calling things PC and you didnt start the thread.
i'm not assuming anything about you personally. sorry if you took it that way.
The racists aren't the ones you are told they are.
shareYou clearly do care...
shareJoss Whedon would have to be up there.
shareWhat works of his would you consider to be "politically correct"?
shareHe is very much about the girl power trip. So Buffy for a start. I know there are other factors involved with that too but when you hear him talk, there is also an agenda/virtual signaling.
shareGIRL POWER TRIP?...GIRLS HAVE POWER...JUST AS MUCH AND IN SOME CASES MORE THAN ANY MAN...JOSS WHEDON JUST RECOGNIZES THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER.
shareHe is very much about the girl power trip. So Buffy for a start.
Rich Moore
shareTarantino... Most of his latter movies are SJW revenge flicks...
shareI think its also his excuse to make the films more violent.
sharegood thinking
shareMaking more violence is the only safe way to garner attention / mild controversy without possible backlash. Unlike say, making the movie more sexual or to tackle real controversial themes.
shareTarantino has always loved his violence and presumably so does his audience and it's like an addiction to keep his audience interested he has to keep upping the violence. By having terrible things happen to Nazi's and assorted "racists" it does avoid backlash for sure.
I don't think QT has ever been interested in making deep films, his source of inspiration seems to be Z grade films from the exploitation era. He just makes them on huge budgets usually with former A list stars who are past their prime.
I've been reading this threrad for some time under the delusion it was titled
"Most Politically Correct Dictators" :)
Only noticed when Josh weedon popped up
That would be a GREAT topic... A dictator who calls one by their correct pronoun before their head is chopped off.
Dropping rainbow colored nuclear weapons would be a very American thing to do.
