| It's a project he wants to do so he gets the rights and produce it (on top of directing it.) And half of the movie is filled with white characters. So why is it obvious that the director or writer would be Hispanic? And to take it further, shouldn't Bart Sher have directed South Pacific because he was white? And I guess Henry Krieger and Tom Eyen had no business writing Dreamgirls? (And Casey Nicholaw should not have directed the Broadway-bound revival?) There are plenty of examples of artists successfully telling a story of characters of a different backgrounds from their own (e.g. Tony Kushner's Caroline or Change, or Kander and Ebb's The Scottsboro Boys,) and plenty of faulty ones (Boublil and Schoenberg's Miss Saigon.) Especially in the arts, people should not be limited to work only on pieces that involve their own identity, whether it's gender, race, sexual preference, or any other. I think it's especially true of Spielberg, who proved himself very capable with handling properties like The Color Purple and Amistad. |
