Re: Oscar Nominations

[thene]

I think the concern was valid but that interconnectivity of the film as a whole justified its anarchic casting decisions - HOWEVER it's a genuine weakness that there are no Asian men in the cast at all. It's not typical of the Wachowskis; they're much more committed to diversity than virtually the entire rest of Hollywood, and they've worked with plenty of Asian male actors in the past. (Come to that, I cannot think of a single sci-fi movie featuring positive portrayals of queer people that was NOT directed by the Wachowskis.) So I think the condemnation over it by people who haven't actually seen the film is kinda OTT, and it depresses me that people who flamed on Cloud Atlas will mostly be cheerfully supporting totally/near-totally white, straight movies like The Hobbit or Avengers because being inoffensive is all it takes to make people love you i guess.

Seriously, Cloud Atlas just might be the best film I've ever seen, and its relative failure made me more depressed about the intelligence level of the mainstream audience than anything ever has. The haters have their reasons but are, ultimately, gonna hate.

So offense is okay as long as it is art. Not an instance of people being overdramatic, but one that uses practices closely linked to offensive ones in the past. In some instances I can get behind that (Like with Django).

Mm, apart from Django, Cloud Atlas had more POC in it than any other Western-made film I saw last year, and it was made by people who have a relatively strong record on diversity. So I feel like people in fandom who genuinely value diverse casting ought to have a more nuanced approach to it than 'CLOUD ATLAS IS BAD now let's all go see The Hobbit'...but for the most part, they don't, and that makes me sad.

Re: Oscar Nominations

[morieris]

Okay, I see what you're saying and closely agree especially about "I racebend and want more diverse casting don't come after my Hobbit/Avengers movie what does these white men ever do to youuu"
