The issue of racial diversity in the movies in recent years is very acute, and after the Black Lives Matter moved unprecedented strength in the summer of this year, on the black actors who play characters initially another race, they are doubly terrible. So it happened, for example, with John Boygoye, who got the role of an attack aircraft in the "Star Wars", and from Holly Bailey, who got the place of Mermaid. And soon the premiere of another film, which caused disputes regarding the choice of actors to the main roles.
We are talking about the family drama "Peter Peng and Alice in Wonderland", in which the young characters played dark-skinned children, and the director of the tape has already complained to prejudice. In a recent interview with the Hollywood Reporter, David Oleouou said that his work rating on IMDB steadily declines day after day, and it is absolutely unfair.
In the era, when so many content is offered, everything you need is to see the IMDB rating and a trailer to subconsciously make a decision about whether you are going to watch a movie,
- said the director.
Indeed, when choosing what to see, ratings play a significant role, and earlier the indicators of many films that have affected the topics of race and gender or filmed with the active participation of women and non-workers. It was this situation that happened, for example, with the female version of "Ghost Hunters" or "Captain Marvel".
According to the IMDB rules, users can raise the film after its name sounded publicly at least once, and "Peter Pan and Alice in Wonderland" before the release of the trailer with the rating everything was fine. But immediately after October 9, they crawled down.
It was clear that in the tone or character of the film there is something that struck some people,
- noticed Oletouo. He hurriedly appealed to IMDB asking to suspend the film's assessment until it came to hire. By the way, it is curious that the "Dizloike" button under the trailer on YouTube also many works incorrectly: a negative feedback will not be done at all, or it disappears later.
So far, it is not clear what the final rating of the film will be, but soon the situation will become clearer. The premiere of "Peter Pan and Alice in Wonderland" is scheduled for November 26.
