No!? Are you serious!?
I'm going to remove your tag from it. I wasn't meaning to divert attention from me to you lol.
I think that a lot of people can agree that the things we have come to associate with "wokeness" do have a place in cinema, media and society in general, especially if it creates a more fair and realistic portrayal of the diversity found in society - race, sexuality, sex and gender...etc. However when these concepts are unnaturally forced into something, it tends to cheapen the message and the product itself and moves into the realm of contrived bullshit. That's how I personally interpreted your quote - that the forced messaging was poorly executed and cheapened the product. I would have thought that others understood it to mean that as well - perhaps not though?
"Forced woke bullshit." I personally love that line and would have stolen it outright and claimed it as my own, but I wanted to avoid a "Hey that Fucker stole my line!" Scenario Hahaha 😆
Ye dude we are exactly on the same page, I am all for inclusiveness, when it's done tastefully like in the first Matrix for example noone talked about it because it's real and seamless, but when its just obvious propaganda, it's just hard to take it seriously, or even relate. The world is obviously evolving, but the way things are moving, I don't have to buy in the force-fed ideologies, it's borderline insanity.
Yes, I totally agree.
In the WoT it's particularly annoying to me because the female characters are extremely strong in many ways in the books so the extra nonsensical additions in the show were unnecessary and cheapen it. In the show they also turned a female character into a lesbian, which wasn't in the books. I guess they did that for diversity purposes. Some people online felt that this was another example but I was completely fine with that move because the change could be easily adapted and doesn't mess with the mechanics and myths of the WoT world. The only issue I had with it revolved around the bad acting when it came time to show that they were lovers. I can't really blame two straight actors for looking awkward when they are forced to kiss each other, but at a bare minimum I expect a director to re-shoot a scene until it looks natural and believable lol.
Hahaha what you said about 2 straight actors doing an awkward kiss scene is hilarious and so true!
I found something you're gonna enjoy, it says lots of what we said in our conversation, if you have 2 hours to kill, I just finished it.
A fan of Wheel of TIme explained to me the whole story yesterday and why it wouldn't work if you change what's in the book, so you were dead on.
Dude. You didn't send me a video you sent me a documentary.... hahaha 🤣
I'm working my way through it. Super interesting. I will probably watch it in parts but I'm going to watch the whole thing. "Factory Film" is a great term. I love that. So fitting for a lot of stuff out there.
Hahaha, it's cool put in the background while you're cooking delicious food!
I ended up finishing it. It was quite interesting. I found that it got a bit repetitive near the end - maybe the last 20mins or so when a few ideas were repeated, but overall an interesting interview
