Race has nothing to do with it, money with strings attached does.

Glad you corrected yourself because you implied previously that it was Asian and Arabs names that were responsible for profit driven movies.

That happens with lots of White Americans who also make movies just to make money. More so since America is the capitalism to the max country! America n car makers only care about the next quarter not trying to get life long customers through "quality" so Amrican cars makers are tanking because Americans (the smart ones) after they got their 3rd American pile of utter crap bought a Japanese car and realized -"hey this is nice I have had my car 8 years with no/few problems unlike that Pontiac that was in the shop 18 times.

America has been making schlock films since umm movies began. Every country makes CRAPPY films. It's not like France, Canada, Australia, Germany, (enter country of choice here ____) isn't making junk movies. Most of them are crap.

The American film snobs on this board forget that the "foreign films" America gets are the ones that have been "sifted" for us. We get the 8 critically reviewed best (award winning) French films and we say - wow France makes great films - but they don't send us the 150 steaming piles of donkey poo.

Lastly, why are you blaming the symptom? The masses want to eat Big Macs - Hey if the people want to eat that a businessman (capitalists) will give the people what they want. if the people want the 8th Spiderman or 10th Friday the 13th movie - someone is going to say "hey we can make $30,000,000 profit on these boobs who buy the tickets. Just like the evangelists collecting enough money to buy their own private jets(plural) on selling an invisible imaginary friend in the sky. They chuckle at the suckers making them rich.

The fault isn't with the chocolate or the chocolate dealer dear Mr. Wonka - it's with the people who crave the chocolate.

Proactive education to get people when they're young to appreciate art and to be highly educated. Since none of that is happening - we become reactionary to the problems that come about down the line. Every problem from lack of taste to Coronavirus to riots and police violence are all "reactions" - and it all stems from not being proactive through early childhood education all the way through high school.

The arts have generally been hacked away in the school systems and phones have reduced attention spans to nil.

The fault is with the public craving to see the latest MCU universe film and eating the Big Mac - get them to value "quality" and the film making industry will be forced to make it - and indeed they will want to make it for a demanding/discriminating public.
