to decide whether or not such stories are profitable to their end game. We need to think less of how to idealize certain ethnic groups and instead actually promote the art these people have been making for thousands of years.

unique standing in the world than some generic dime a dozen migrant story that any 2end generation person here could produce with little effort? I think what we should value is expanding our horizons, look across the world for art instead of leaning on lecherous American studios

why is it that representation only seems to matter if we're talking about western produced slop and not the art house films made by foreign directors in places like Egypt or Brazil? Why not encourage investment in foreign art, when that art comes from a much more valuable and

level and what is it achieving if merely representation is the goal? I think there's value in exploring personal experiences through that lens. I'm not a fan of the movie but Turning Red at least has merit in that sense. But I also feel people have such a limited view of this,

should just clap if a million dollar corporation decides to pander to whatever random group. I think we need to have standards for this shit, not in the sense of "good representation" but moreso in the idea of asking ourselves is "good representation" even valuable on an artistic
