I normally get this kind of things... but I actually applaud them this time! One, there is a lot to be said about having written criteria. You can agree or disagree, critique or boycott, but you can’t really do either of those with a woke cancel culture of unwritten rules of correctness. Two, it is true, how many films show disabled people as part of normal life? Films do present a distorted view of the world. That’s partly why we watch them - we can watch the world as it is for free - but to encourage it to show marginalised groups as part of “normal background” is definitely good. I wonder how I would feel if I were wheelchair bound, say, and all I could see were films where no one like me existed. What, for aesthetic reasons? And finally, films are generally aspirational (maybe except catastrophe and horror genres). They raise the bar of what we expect financially, socially, romantically etc. Especially so for Hollywood blockbusters. So why shouldn’t they be aspirational in social progress too? I’m sure sometimes it just won’t be possible. A film about Nazis will definitely show a bunch of white men. But that’s not a typical Hollywood blockbuster. If we can’t put successful Black lawyers, female leaders, disabled heroes on a fake screen of film, what are our odds with the real life?
