They had no ties with Hanks family, plus they didn’t add anything to the history of the house. Diversity hire?
shareMaybe because they inhabited the house?
shareI was going to ask if there were any Blacks in the movie. The main cast on IMDb looked all White, so I had a glimmer of hope — but of course, I knew it was too good to be true. I knew they’d find a way to shoehorn Black characters into the story. That’s the 'D' in DEI: Diversity. You can’t make a movie about White people without shoehorning in blacks. That’s the 'I': Inclusion. A White person can’t have anything for himself anymore; he’s now required to share it with blacks. And that’s the 'E': Equity.
DEI is a cancer. The people behind it should be blacklisted, barred from employment in any company, in any industry. They deserve to be driven out into the shadows to live like the rats they are.
The black family literally adds nothing to story being told. There’s even a scene where the black father tells his son what to do when a cop pulls him over.
They could have spent this time to better develop Hanks actual children but instead we get diversity nonsense.
The story being told is about the families that inhabited the house so how did it add nothing to the story? The father explaining to his black son how to behave when he gets pulled over is a discussion that goes on in every black person’s house with their kids. Why wouldn’t it be?
shareThat has nothing to do with the plot of the movie though. It’s a diversity subplot just for the sake of it, adds nothing to the main story being told.
People like you need to wake up and realize that this DEI crap is ruining movies.
What was the plot of the movie to you? It was about the different people who lived in the house.
People like you need to embrace that America is more than just white people.
Well said.
shareYou had a glimmer of hope that the only people to live in the house would be white? How absurd to think that there wouldn’t be other races to live in a house . . . In America.
Your racism isn’t okay now that Trump is in office. It’s still dumb.
My racism is more that OK. It was OK before Trump, it is OK now, and it will be OK after Trump.
shareYou can't win any Oscars without diversity hires.
shareMoot point for this one.
shareWhy?
shareIt wasn't nominated.
shareYou think that was the intention of those who made this movie? To not get nominated?
shareThey did have diversity hires, but it's a moot point since they didn't win.
shareWhy couldn't a black family live in the house?
shareI don't see why that would make it moot. My point wasn't that they would win an Oscar thanks to diversity hires, my point was that you can't win an Oscar without diversity hires and that's why this movie has them.
shareThey checked a box, that's it
shareI have no idea, but all in all it was a good Forrest Gump reunion show.
shareI thought it was too depressing. While it certainly has its upbeat moments, I would not overall call it a happy tale. The downbeats outweigh the upbeats. The characters almost always seem in strife and battling with the unhappiness in their lives. I think this was the wrong approach. Instead it should've been mostly cheery with occasional bouts of tragedy.
shareFor the most part it was what I expected. I tear jerker.
shareI acknowledge that the Hanks family was the primary focus, but there were many stories that had nothing to do with them, including the Victorian aviator, the La-Z-Boy inventor, Ben Franklin, the Native Americans, and the freaking dinosaurs. Black people are currently the largest demographic in Philadelphia, and thus they are probably the most realistic depiction of what a family occupying that space in 2020 might look like. No hate, but you honestly might want to ask yourself why their story seems so out of place to you.
shareIdk. What was the post of any of their stories?
