Ethnically Blue.

I speak strictly of a problem. The delineation of payroll/bank account (actor) juxtaposing the implications of scene. Scene being set to incite the critical thought process’ regarding emo-based perceptions of morality. Because, ultimately—no matter how the story seems to be told, it ultimately has little to do with the creators true notions of guilt. 

If the maker of a grossly earning film feels bad—what, exactly, is so-and-so doing to improve the situation?

It’s one thing to tell a good story, it’s a different kind of thing to sell that story. And how?

Is this “guilt” even intellect (property) the story tellers have rights to sell? Who’s story is it? Why do only certain versions of the story get heard? There is no one trying this case. So, instead, I’m talking about it.

This is a quick write response to Dimas FB comment regarding my beef with the CGI selection in the most recent boxed office hit—Avatar. Beef that the movie wiped out a host of “minority” actors. Granted, there were a few minor roles for “minority” talent, but the starring cast retains these all to familiar classifications: primarily—pale European stock, secondary—spice-like scatterings of earth-tones. But to fit this all into one Campbell’s condensed can or nutshell: my deepest beef stems from our indoctrinated, life-long exposure to these sincere “apologies” from our very real, very present and very powerful oppressors. Oppressing, these days, simply by the by-products of Empirical expansion; the signing of checks, from ancient amoebic bank accounts—casting of roles, by cuts, edits and deliberate implementation of technology, placement of people; props across stAges.

My beef is shaved off the bull raging from that big screen projector. Is it guilt for their big-bull hit nature which buys mother-ships, tanks, jets, hot Latina infantry copter pilots and rights to relocate the indigenous? One Big Bull’s hit, hot off the screen and fresh into the 3-D goggles streamlining the mind’s eye, after another. And, in the end—we all pay the price, which is roughly a twenty-spot, give or take a few for new specs.

I’m not talking about every pale-male. Only the select, and dysfunctional. It may have been a mistake, oops. It needs to be corrected.
