Remember the black Floyd who was kneeling down to death by a white policeman last year? After more than a year, he was back in the public eye. However, it is returned as an animated character.
A few days ago, Disney released this Year's Christmas promo, and at the beginning of the film, everyone found a familiar face, a black father based on Freud.
The general content of the film can be summarized as a good black stepfather who saved a single-parent Chinese family. The black father, who resembled Freud, conquered the children with his charm and love, and finally ended with the same reunion ending, a cross-racial reorganized family, and lived a happy and happy life ever since.
Disney's film caters to the hottest "black life" of the moment, but it expresses the traditional white American values, shows the gentle and kind side of African Americans as much as possible, and expresses tolerance and respect for other minorities, which is the pride of the American immigrant society dominated by whites.
However, such a "politically correct" film has triggered the anger of Chinese Americans, African Americans have been "buying zero yuan" all day, is there less chinese robbed and killed, Disney is too bottomless to make money, and it can actually come up with such a bad idea as African Americans saving Chinese.
According to statistics, the number of violent attacks against the Predominantly Chinese Asian community in the United States this year has more than doubled compared with previous years, and 80% of them are committed by blacks. In this regard, the soul of China's netizens asked, where did the Chinese father in this film go? It wouldn't have been killed by this black stepfather.
Disney made this film, perhaps to persuade African Americans and Chinese to put aside the fight and live a good life, but whether it is in Disney animation or Hollywood movies, only white people can live a good life.
The first black actor in history to win an Oscar, Hardy McDaniel, once said that I could play a maid, but I didn't want to be a maid.
This sentence is also a portrayal of her entire artistic career, most of the time, Hatty's role is a maid, whether it is Margaret in "Gone with the Wind", or the black aunt in "Song of the South", she has only one purpose, to play a gentle and kind black image, so that everyone pays more attention to the African community and fights racial discrimination.
But she never expected that "Gone with the Wind", which is regarded as a classic by the literary and art circles, will become a victim of political correctness today. Not long ago, Warner Pictures announced the temporary removal of "Gone with the Wind" because many black literary and artistic workers in Hollywood believe that this film is racially racist and does not conform to the background and values of today's society.
Strange things happened, the news of the film's removal was just released, and fans immediately expressed their opposition with their own practical actions, buying movie CDs and original novels, and once topped amazon sales.
Not long after, Warner added the corresponding annotations, and then re-listed the film, leaving the fans messy in the wind, is this a response to the black life or to sell the surroundings?
The takedown storm on this side has not yet been clarified, and another round of vigorous censorship has been set off over there. Under pressure from the public, Kaufman, the producer of "Friends," tearfully apologized, and I apologize to the audience for not taking racial diversity into account, so much so that the film's lead actors are white.
The producers of The Simpsons issued a statement that we will fully respect racial diversity and no longer use white actors to voice characters of other ethnicities, as does another classic anime, House of Spoofs.
After such a toss,, the issue of race has become a sensitive topic that cannot be mentioned in the American literary and artistic circles. Some people even speculate that the racial proportion of future cast members will be forced to be limited.
This is not impossible, after all, California, the seat of Hollywood, passed the No. 5 Constitutional Amendment last June, and whether it is a university or a business, it is necessary to recruit according to racial proportions. Chinese Americans, who account for only 1% of the total population of the United States, are useless to study well, and only one in a hundred people is recruited.
In addition to racial issues, the attention of sexual minorities is not low. "Hollywood Sister" Scarlett Johansson gained a large number of fans for playing the role of "Black Widow". However, she "flipped" because of a movie that did not appear.
In 2018, Scarlett decided to star in Rub & Tug as a transgender person, but caused great controversy in the group. They argue that Scarlett is a veritable white woman who shouldn't play a transgender person who doesn't deserve her identity, and we don't want to spend money on people who discriminate against transgender groups.
As public opinion continued to ferment, Scarlett could only publicly apologize and resign. But this group of people who hold high the banner of "political correctness" do not want to let her go, Asian writer Wang Lanzhi followed the trend and accused Scarlett, you are already the most profitable actress in 2018, how to grab the jobs of other groups of actors.
In this context, many people began to worry that in the long run, political correctness would hinder the development of film and television in the United States. The answer is, no. Hollywood movies are so popular precisely because they "cater to the political correctness of the majority."
After the collapse of the Soviet Union, American-style democracy won the final victory, just in time for the wave of globalization, and Hollywood began to export American values to the world. Movies such as "Titanic", "Smelling Women", and "Forrest Gump" that we are familiar with express universal values such as freedom, peace, struggle, and independence.
These themes were originally applicable to all mankind, but Hollywood packaged them as a product of the American system and naturally conquered the global film market, including Europe, which has always favored literary films.
Nortel's Professor Dai Jinhua once said that in any case, Hollywood has never deviated from political correctness, because they are looking for the greatest common denominator of the global film market and maintaining coverage of the vast majority of audiences.
Therefore, from a commercial point of view alone, Hollywood's big directors know the so-called "traffic code" better than anyone, and they can grasp the balance between film and politics with ease, so that the audience can willingly pay the bill, and at the same time, subtly wash the audience's brain.
The Hollywood blockbuster "Independence Day", which was once popular all over the world, is a typical case, in which the white elite is responsible for managing and saving the world, the black Americans are dressed in military uniforms and responsible for the specific execution, and the minorities are responsible for the crackdown.
This is exactly the same as the current social structure of the United States, which cannot be said to be completely unrelated. Whites wielded social resources and set the rules; blacks sold their labor, shed blood and sweat; other ethnic groups did some technical work or small businesses. All "non-whites" live under the rules laid down by whites.
The same is true of Disney's promo, in a white-dominated society, blacks exert their limited ability to save the Lowest Levels of Chinese. The US government and capital collude and disseminate it through the media, invisibly instilling this racist social system into people's minds, so that they will no longer resist and submit to the established fate.
What is even more frightening is that when a thing is over-interpreted, everyone's consciousness will stay in the symbol stage, and there will be a lot of noise for this, and few people will pay attention to the truth behind it, let alone change it.
