Just exactly how many women and minorities would have been on the beach at Dunkirk? This is nuts.

Do they want affirmative action, or do they want historical accuracy?

Historical movies should reflect history as it was.

No ‘lead actors of color’ in Dunkirk?

Oh, please. Just like movies about Vikings would obviously be chock full of ‘actors of color’.

After a while, I start to feel like I’m trapped in a never-ending Monty Python skit.

Well, you’d have a much shorter movie if you took all the white males out.

Thank goodness. It sounds like there’s no boring, meaningless love story angle like the one that killed the movie “Pearl Harbor.”

This is all to preempt Oscar awards. Don’t want the quality of a movie to impact nominations, doncha no.

Is it a Brit movie? Will they claim Dunkirk as a Victory?

WARNING Snowflakes: This film has no transgender characters! It seems to be full of beastly oppressive “Cisgender” types who want to impose their delusions of masculinity upon the world!!!

Just saw Spiderman and it is a fun story ruined by political correctness from the opening shot where the obligatory slam, White Privilege was raised to the rant about capitalism at the end.

Screw them all.

Even Hogan's Heroes (1965-71) had many more black characters than you would really find in the Army Air Forces of World War II.

Like most modern films, they are meant to throw in a black guy. They could have written him in as a French colonial soldier from Mali or somewhere, fighting for France, whose unit was destroyed by the Germans, etc... Of course, that character would overcome racism to heroically save his new allied comrades fleeing Dunkirk

Even though such a thing likely never existed that’s the sort of propaganda Hollywood excels at.

They worked a “Moor” into Robin Hood, which is ridiculous, but then they use a Sub Saharan African to portray the character, which is just simply a lie.

They were so busy looking for all the women and minorities, they must have missed all the guns to complain about.

there are certain movies that come out that i reallllly want to see like Dunkirk, the coming Churchill movie, the new Blade Runner even the Aliens movie from last month.
The problem is i have ZERO desire to go to a movie theater to see them.

Hardly any but that doesn’t mean they shouldn’t include midgets, trannys, clowns, playboy bunnies, sumo wrestlers, astronauts, tigers, race cars, teletubbies, jugglers on stilts as well otherwise people will be offended. ,
