“Sometimes???? Filmmakers really need to look at a cast and ask themselves: are there too many men here??? How many men do we really need??? Why are there so many men” I came across this post on a social media account and there was another post under it with the same thing with different concerns for them. The audience are starting to speak up about what they want from filmmakers. Maybe the audience has always expressed the way they felt but this was a first for me to see it. There are several films whether old or new that are slightly biased with the cast. Some filmmaker’s casts too much of certain people based off gender, race, and other physical appearances. Recently there has been quite a few outbursts, if you want to call it that, that show other actors or actresses that turned down a role or spoke out for their colleagues because of the discrimination they faced. The audiences aren’t the only ones who’s had enough of not having a more diverse cast. This quote does remind of the discussion we had in class about ethics. As we summarized wat Nichols said in chapter 2, we described the purpose of ethics for a filmmaker. The filmmaker would have respect toward those who are being filmed. Yes, these are actors but does that mean just because lines are given to them that they shouldn’t still be respected? Some filmmakers are known for their work based off their usual style, some would have too much of this in their film or too less of something. Some of the audience are just tired of the same old roles, played by the same old’ actors or actresses. It’s time for a change and some filmmakers are adjusting their work but is it enough for their viewers?
