Re: Diversity in Films

[(Anonymous)]

No, not even close.

TV, video games, and music? Sure, I think they're all rapidly moving towards more diversity as the norm. The bulk of music and games fans are younger, and TV has always been able to take more risks because failure is so much less costly.

But the big blockbusters are still going for the safest bet possible: attractive white straight people. Unless the entire point of the movie is to subvert that formula, in which case they will still stick as close to the original formula as possible (ex: Brokeback Mountain, where the dudes were gay but otherwise fit perfectly. White Savior films like The Blind Side, where the minority cast members are secondary to the white person.)

The current generation of movies hasn't gotten a whole lot more diverse than movies were in the 80s and 90s, and I don't see that changing any time soon. I think in fandom we get a very skewed idea of what the average movie-goer cares about.

I know you mention Hollywood blockbusters opting for white casts, but do you think independent films will be more diverse? How about non-US movies? I admit I don't follow movies nearly as much as I once did, but I watched Exam on Netflix. It had a diverse cast, but I imagine most diversity advocates would be at best lukewarm to the ending. Still, it's a movie that often springs to mind whenever I stumble across movie diversity discussions.
