And I'm judging his "points-of-view". If you don't know enough about an entire group of people to include them to make it realistic that shows you to be what exactly? Ignorant at best and either a total lack of interest or even disdain for said group. See the monologue he did in his own movie. That's the role you choose to cameo as an actor? Tell me how you feel without telling me.

Half of his movies are based on real life shyt, you have a problem with the racial makeup take it up with the people he's portraying
Most of Scorsese's films are about navigating the complicated world of Italian American identity. Something that's very personal to him. Thats his bag. Ain't too much room for black folks in those stories, and why should that be important to us?
Film makers should be allowed to tell whatever story they want to tell regardless of who might be included or excludes. And I have a feeling most of yall feel the same way. Let someone say Spike Lee needs to include more gay characters or Indian characters or what have you and there'd be "
STFU" responses all around. And that's why a lot of us in this thread see through the real agenda behind the discourse.

I'm glad you brought that up. Stratton Oakmont portrayed in Wolf of Wall Street was all white guys with 1 Asian thrown in. I can tell you Wall St. is way more diverse than that. It truly reflects the melting pot of NYC. He bypassed that to make it a bunch of white guys. Why?Half of his movies are based on real life shyt, you have a problem with the racial makeup take it up with the people he's portraying

See now this is the selective naivete I be talking about. Yall know good and goddamn well 80s Wall Street was a white boys' club rife with nepotism.
Look up a picture of Black Monday and it ain't nothing but a bunch of balding white men ready to jump out a window, let's be serious

Hmm . . this guy worked there and somehow couldn't even be portrayed as an extra. lolSee now this is the selective naivete I be talking about. Yall know good and goddamn well 80s Wall Street was a white boys' club rife with nepotism.

American.
Outside of work, I can go months without interacting socially with a white person and that is doubly true for White people who can completely segregate themselves because they are a majority. Yeah even in places like NYC people are socially segregated.
America is a segregated country. That’s why we have black schools and white schools, black neighborhoods and white neighborhoods, black clubs and white clubs. We don’t even worship together despite belonging to the same churches and denominations.
I’d take an honest artistic POV over the Netflix model of pretend diversity where white and black people are living like institutional racism never existed.
But y’all already know this. Y’all are just taking shots at Marty because he said the spandex movies y’all love so much are not cinema.
It’s quite pathetic.

imagine the Coli outrage if gays started saying there isn’t enough LGBTQ representation by successful black filmmakers and that they wanted to see more trans representation in movies like Black Panther. There would be threads on threads about Hollywood anti black men/families agenda.Hell, Black Panther 2 was met with faux militant outrage for making a woman Black Panther and giving a prominent role to a non black villain.

OK, you want to act like he's agnostic on Black folks. No speaking parts for Black people in Marty films but we do get a lot of commentary.American.

But let me guess, all these scenes were necessary and pertinent to the overall plot.
Please defend this and look even more pathetic than me. lol

I’ confused. You claim Marty is a racist, but yet you want him to write prominent black characters.
Your entire posting history is that of a pro black militant in desperate need of white validation. That’s just weird.

I don't want him to do anything. I'm just pointing out the history you are juelzing to explain. I see you couldn't find your way to explain those clips like you did American segregation. lolI’ confused. You claim Marty is a racist, but yet you want him to write prominent black characters.
You’re entitled posting history is that of a pro black militant in desperate need of white validation. That’s just weird.

And thank goodness he still is. Cinema would be a much dourer place without him.
I need to explain that white people when in the company of other white people say racist shyt they wouldn’t say in front of black people? Especially the sociopaths depicted in his movies.Do you have a moral problem with the killing and robbing committed by these characters or is it just the racism that bothers you?
