Company Disney in recent weeks, has not crawled out of the bottom of public opinion. And flirting with fighters for social justice turned out to be sideways, which is not surprising given the hypocrisy in Hollywood.
Actor struck first John Boyegawho played Finn in the new trilogy “Star Wars“. He blamed the studio Lucasfilm in racial discrimination. The reason is simple: the character received much more attention in the advertising campaign than in the movie scripts. This is clearly seen by “To the last Jedi“where Finn was sent on an unnecessary side quest.
Moreover, Boyega, not without reason, believes that all other “non-white” actors, to which he counts, were merged in a similar way. Naomi Ekki (Gianna), Kelly Mary Tran (Rose Tiko) and even Oscar Isaac (Poe Dameron), born in Guatemala. The emphasis was only on Ray Palpatine (Daisy Ridley) and Kylo Rena (Adam Driver).
Then Daisy Ridley took up the baton, who managed to compromise the head of Lucasfilm Kathleen Kennedy, which has been extremely inept in recent years trying to hide the fact that the new trilogy was created without any pre-prepared plan and creative vision at all. The actress admitted that while working on “Awakening the force“the idea of making Rey a relative of Obi-Wan Kenobi, that’s just how close, the writers could not come up with that. Note that the old canon stated that the Jedi had a brother Owen…
In the end, it was decided to make her the granddaughter of the emperor. Palpatine… At the same time, Ridley has no idea who, in this case, was the heroine’s grandmother.
This mountain of chaos is crowned with the release of the long-suffering film “Mulan“which resulted in serious reputational losses for Disney… The project was created in cooperation with the Chinese authorities to meet the needs of the local audience. But the idea failed for a number of reasons.
Chinese viewers did not like the film, Western viewers did not like the film. A resident of the non-mainland China (Hong Kong) did not like the film either.
However, the main scandal was provoked by the credits, in which the studio thanked the Public Security Bureau of the city of Turpan for the help provided during the filming. What is the problem? The fact is that the city is located in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region of the PRC, where over the past three years local Muslim Uyghurs have been actively sent to “retraining” in a kind of labor camps. However, the Chinese side stubbornly denies the existence of modern gulags, with which Western countries do not agree.
