| If you don't know how to argue with someone who says "a Latin" to refer to a Hispanic person, then don't argue. It's really a wonder why people perceive ultra politically-correct liberals as condescending, right? Or alternatively, you can just point out how I was incorrect in using Latin instead of patronizing. I am always happy to learn. As for the fact that you keep saying things - you do. Look at all your posts in the thread. But it's futile to keep arguing, I guess. None of us is going to change each other's opinions, so I'll stop here. As for for my incredible insight as to how and why movies get made - I simply work in the industry. The deadline link I posted here - already from 2014 - demonstrates my point in the first sentence. It's Spielberg who wants to do the movie so that's why the movie is even being made. This is how Hollywood works. Personalities (as in "talent," like movie stars or superstar directors or producers) are the ones that dictate the agenda; not executives and not heads of content or programming. When someone like James Cameron or Steven Spielberg or Quentin Tarantino decides they want to make a movie, the EVP of development at FOX or WB or whatever goes out of their way to make sure it gets done, the way their superstar director or producer wants it. And I assure you that it's Steven Spielberg who chooses a writer for his projects - the same way he has control over who's gonna compose the score (John Williams - well, not for THIS movie), who's gonna be the DP (Janusz Kamiński), who's gonna be his producer (Kathleen Kennedy, until she moved to run Lucasfilm). And in this case, he chose someone he respects and collaborated with several times in the past. There was no committee or an executive board that could have made a choice about hiring a Hispanic writer (or not.) You just do the movie the way Spielberg wants to do it because (a) you want to keep the most successful director/producer of all time happy, and (b) he consistently delivers commercial and artistic success, so you trust him to with getting you a return on your investment - whether it's prestige or money. |
