This play involves many real Hollywood filmmakers in those years, and some people have already sorted them out. This article mainly combines this play and some recent Hollywood movies to see the expression of radical values .
1 What is the use of tampering with history?
Who said that American dramas are not bad, this drama is a typical example, the subject matter is good, the cast is even more star-studded, but it still can't cover the badness of this drama.
In fact, the plot of this play is very simple. It is a story of a small group of marginalized people in the mainstream society at that time who made a good movie and achieved success through their own efforts.
But for the success of the protagonists, the script does not hesitate to tamper with history. Because in the real 20th Academy Awards, there is no one called "The Meg" competing, let alone winning multiple awards.
Such tampering has made the success of the protagonists too easy, which is like a child's play. Not only did it not highlight the difficulties of being a black person and a sexual minority group in that era, but it felt that Hollywood, where such rookies could succeed so easily, is really a good place!
In fact, the opening of many characters in the play makes people feel opportunistic.
For example, the first guest the male protagonist meets when Duck is the wife of a Hollywood studio boss!
For example, the screenwriter is not only black, but also gay, occupying two marginal places at once, wow...
Another example is that the little black brother met the "love of his life" as soon as he picked up a customer, and this love is of course also an actor, and he will also be in "Meg".
This is no longer just a coincidence, this probability can be used to buy lottery tickets.
Of course, it is not to say that it is impossible to tamper with history. For example, in Quentin Tarantino's "Inglourious Basterds", history was changed to Hitler's assassination, and World War II ended early. The plot is credible, but if it is changed, the squad led by the male protagonist did not choose to assassinate Hitler, but confronted multiple German army groups and annihilated 100 German divisions in 3 months. People have a headache.
And this kind of tampering with history to express the current Hollywood political correctness has become a common practice, and some works are even more extreme.
2 The trend of political correctness in Hollywood has intensified in recent years, and it will inevitably rebound
In addition to making history in this play, allowing minority groups such as blacks to succeed in the film in a sexually promiscuous way, there are many examples.
In the finale of "Game of Thrones", for the succession of the Iron Throne, everyone expressed their views, and someone on the spot proposed a method of popular election. For a world with a historical background of the Middle Ages, this formulation is really "perfect".
In "Avengers 4", at the critical moment of the decisive battle with Thanos, it is necessary to give all heroines a high-angle shot.
In "Maleficent 2", the queen and Maleficent are facing each other, and the king won the whole process, which is useless.
In "Frozen 2", in order to save her grandfather, a white male villain, from building a dam for the damage to the environment, the heroine would rather turn her home into an underwater world and directly blow up the dam.
What is even more shocking is that in the musical "Hamilton", a black actor actually played Washington!
If this is all possible, then I think men can audition for heroines in the future. If someone dares to stop it, they will say that the other party is sexist.
Acknowledging the past that happened in history, and then improving the future can be enough, imagining that Wakanda in Africa is the first in the world can only help nothing, because Washington has slaves and will push down all his statues, which is even more ridiculous. If the status quo can only be changed by tampering with history and so-called affirmative employment, it should not be successful. Just like in Hollywood movies now, we all know that the best friend of a white male protagonist can only be a black man, so no one thinks that this black man came up through hard work, and there has never been a group that improved its social status by being given care. .
With such an overkill and showing political correctness, I thought that a rebound in the future would definitely come, and the day when the whole Hollywood turned right may not be long. (Now these political correctness are basically relatively leftist values. You can read this article on the values of left and right. What is left? What is right? )
