(This article is a digression that has nothing to do with the movie. I just hope that you will not be ruined by another long review after you click into the comment area and write it. After finishing writing, I feel that it is not enough, but because I really love Pixar. Love Taoist also loves Nolan, can’t help but want to talk back. I also hope that after the film is released, the audience can fully appreciate what the creator really wants to convey to everyone.)
It's ridiculous.
Let’s not say that this film is about black soul music and one of the directors is black. The setting of the real world in the film is also based on his personal life. If this is politically correct, what kind of film can be created by blacks. Is it politically correct? As for Nolan's movie, tell me which setting requires him to be fair skin.
"Pixar and Nolan have not used blacks as the leading protagonists for more than 20 years. Have they finally succumbed to political correctness?"
"Pixar also made a short film on the same-sex theme before, and it must be because of political correctness."
Um? It sounds like you are actually praising political correctness and affirming the attention and opportunities it has brought to minorities (this statement may not be accurate, as long as you understand it, the same below)?
The dregs that should be discarded in political correctness is the disguise of hypocrisy and whitewashing of peace. Although the roles of minority groups are actually irrelevant, they are shaped to perfuse their facial makeup, aggravate stereotypes, and to cope with zzzq, they are forced to arrange minority groups to those that are not suitable for them. Phenomenon in roles and plot. Then the direction of the corresponding efforts should be to create more flesh-and-blood characters and stories that are close to reality, and allow minorities to show their own charm and thereby dilute prejudices. However, some people, by opposing political correctness and overcorrection, resorted to racial discrimination, sex discrimination, and sexual discrimination in the name of justice, and used the excuses of condemning their execution methods to be incorrect and insincere to distort the contradiction to completely deny the increase in diversification. The original intention is to take this opportunity to obliterate all minority groups.
When the minority group is an irrelevant supporting role: it is a charity of the white/man, there must be a female character to do the embellishment/the black must die.
When minorities play the pivotal role: it is not how they play the protagonist by zzzq, as if they are so important in reality.
When the mainstream and minority groups are in half-century, it is formalism and hypocrisy.
When the film focuses exclusively on minority groups: What does it matter to me, who wants to watch a film made specifically for Oscars?
When the film shows the difficult situation of minority groups: they are selling miserably again, don't they get enough from this.
When the film deliberately puts the minority groups in a position that is misplaced with reality to achieve the artistic effect of irony: it is a conspiracy of white people, deliberately writing such empty checks to paralyze the world.
Anyway, they have something to say. If these people are to be cast directors and screenwriters, even if it is not for people of color and LGBTQ+ actors, they will be extinct on the big screen, and female characters will homogenize all aesthetics and it is irrelevant. From this point of view, political correctness objectively protects the job opportunities of minority film practitioners, but certain anti-political correctness police officers give a reasonable reason for political correctness.
As for questioning that film companies have impure motives for activating minority groups, this is also a topic that does not make much sense.
First of all, film companies invest money to make films to get more money. Conscience film companies may also care about other important things, but no money is useless. And making a movie that focuses on minority groups is a comprehensive business decision that integrates brand public relations, follow-up benefits, and social responsibility. If you are entangled with investors' motives, then 99% of the movies will not be watched. Don't knock all creators down with one shot. Even if the money used to make the movie is hypocritical, it does not mean that every filmmaker and audience inspired by the movie is unreal;
Secondly, the so-called craze for political correctness is popular because these topics are indeed hot topics in the world today. What you have to resist is hypocritical political correctness, not this trend of diversity. Besides, it is correct to please the majority of the audience, and to please the minority is to commit a scumbag?
Finally, you can’t imagine that all those with vested interests at this stage can generously voluntarily give up part of their rights and have to be sincere. Political correctness may be the hypocrisy of some people and a compromise on face, but because they are not sincere, the minority groups simply can't even ask for the rights they deserve, right?
Say far. The central idea is that Pixar has been committed to selecting the most suitable worldview, characters and stories for the landing of high concepts in its films, and there is no shortage of expressions of care for the neglected groups and cultures in the world (Lasseter is a pity, but he can't obliterate everything because of him) . So, don't use your blind resistance to zzzq and your narrow prejudice against minorities to destroy the positive and beautiful things. Since the Coco of the Mexican Day of the Dead culture and the Rat King of the French cuisine culture deserve the Oscars, why should the Soul of the black music culture be put on a hat as a zzzq bonus before it is released? Dao Dao, looking down on Pixar or you is simply racial discrimination, everyone knows it well.
Finally, I recommend everyone to watch the interviews with the director and the main creator launched during the festival, which will enable you to fully understand the source of inspiration, worldview construction, and why black people and soul music are chosen as the themes. I wish the film a success.

PS If the role of a mainstream group that you like is changed to a minority group, you need to figure out who your annoyed object is.
An original white/male/heterosexual character was changed to a person of color/female/gay. The executives of the film company and game company who made this decision are likely to be the former rather than the latter. In the same way, a producer who creates characters of color but is perfunctory to discredit, writes about independent women but cannot escape the floating workplace, and will only crack down on cheating males and juniors around the clock, and it will basically not be dominated by people of color and women. These people don't care what they are doing.
They simply and rudely dealt with the needs of the minority groups in the form of "changing the famous role to let you play the head office", and then annoyed the mainstream audience and then shifted the focus of contradiction back to the minority group, which made people question the original choice. They have fought for their rights. The perpetrators of this kind of thing, the audience players who are exploited, and the part of the minority groups themselves who use this for their own benefit are both ridiculous and hateful.
As for a purely original new character, a character whose skin color, gender, and sexual orientation are not important to its character setting, a character that was originally arranged for the creation of collaborative products or to pay attention to the status quo of minority groups, Ta was set as Minority groups, and they are also shaped very three-dimensionally. From the result, they play an objective role in eliminating opposition, diminishing discrimination, and helping more people to understand. It doesn’t matter whether Ta’s original intention of creation is politically correct or not, this can’t be called. It is a "bad thing", and it shouldn't be a weapon for you to criticize minority groups in turn.
(A positive example of creation is Zootopia, one of its directors is Gay, and the screenwriter is dominated by Asian women.)
When criticizing the nondescript Hua Mulan live-action version, everyone is very focused on the Disney and New Zealand female directors rather than all Asian actors, hoping that the audience will treat the Disney live-action The Little Mermaid, Netflix Demon Hunter, Warner's Batwoman , Universe 007 can also brighten eyes.
In addition, aesthetic bullying is not much higher than racism or sexism, and it is best to change one when finding an excuse for anti-political correctness.
