Seriously, these people need public depantsing, in a pillory, while smart people, ones that have avoided indoctrination (AKA: stupidification) point and laugh.
Dunkirk is a great movie but there aren’t enough “women” or “people of color” in it, according to a review in USA Today.
The movie – with a cast including Mark Rylance, Kenneth Branagh, and former One Direction singer Harry Styles – has been given a slew of five-star reviews for its vivid, nail-biting depiction of the evacuation of the British Expeditionary Force from Dunkirk in 1940.
But though USA Today’s reviewer praised it too, he couldn’t resist giving it a little rap on the knuckles about its shameful lack of diversity and equality:
The trio of timelines can be jarring as you figure out how they all fit, and the fact that there are only a couple of women and no lead actors of color may rub some the wrong way.
Yes, it’s true that Dunkirk’s leading roles are indeed dominated by white European males.
But one possible reason for this is that Dunkirk was an actual historical event which director Christopher Nolan has gone to considerable trouble to recreate as accurately as possible.
Sure it might have provided valuable comic relief if Amy Schumer or Rebel Wilson – or perhaps even both – had been cast as, say, two brilliant battlefield surgeons who insisted on staying behind with the troops when all their male counterparts had fled.
Also, it would definitely have added a new dimension had James Earl Jones been cast as the salty old Royal Naval officer called out of retirement for one last trip across the English Channel, or if/

Here is the writer, and dunce, Brian Truitt.

I agree with Brian from USA Today. But, I had the same complaint about “Schindler’s List”.
It rubbed me the wrong way there were no Asians in “Saving Private Ryan”.
I am off-put that there are no male inmates in “Orange is the New Black”.
What about the gay soldiers leaving behind their lovers or the transgendered Royal Marine who is losing it’s whole wardrobe?
Not there? O the pathos. The horror. Sadly real history is not diverse nor is it politically and socially correct. It’s only those morons who want a “black spiderman” that are arse-holes.
Jeeze Louise. Some people are just too stupid to breed.
Read that yesterday and was dumbfounded by the idiocy. Of course, If revisionisn’t virtue signalers can turn Alexander Hamilton into a black man than anything goes.
I can’t wait to see the film. It’s supposed to be 100 degrees plus here on Saturday. Perfect excuse for a matinee.
Face-meet-desk, but figuratively this time.
My bruised forehead needs to heal.
Dianny, I propose a repurposing of eugenics.
There was lots of diversity at Dunkirk, Englishmen, Canadians, Frenchmen, Polaks etc. fighting against the Germans (Nazis), but the wrong kind of politically correct diversity so much in fashion nowadays. I am looking forward to this movie particularly if it’s historically accurate. Have heard there are great reviews of it so far.
Ha! Makes me think of that prosecutor in “My Cousin Vinny”, explaining the origins of American legal code to a jury made up, by half, of Mississippi blacks: “Brought to us from England by our little ol’ ancestors.”
These people are not smart. It’s no wonder at all they go for the epithet after a minute of arguing their side. What else can they do, admit they are dummies? I wish they would, it would be so endearing.
@Geoff the Ant Eater (because it’s easier to type):-)
I’ve heard good things about the film but it’s supposed to be incredibly graphic and I don’t think I can watch it. The depiction in Mrs. Miniver is about my speed.
I have no problems with realistic historical graphic violence. It’s gratuitous violence (violence just for violence sake) that bugs me like in The Wild Bunch or a Clockwork Orange and similar movies including slasher movies.
@Geoff — I agree. I just can’t watch it. I once fainted at the vets because my cat had to have his head shaved for stitches. LOL
I saw one slasher film by accident at the base theater in Japan. Watching someone have their head drilled stays with you forever.
My response would have been – – Yeah, a thousands of white heterosexual Christian men died so you liberal assholes can have free stuff.
I bet the reviewer liked it when Sgt. Kinchloe in Hogan’s Heroes dressed up as a Nazi soldier in a few episodes. Totally believable.
Their only consolation was they were made in Black and White, not WHITE and black.
I doubt gay p@rn has many women, either.
Sick of all this drummed up diversity horse shit. Have no problem with folks from around the world who’ve come here as long as they contribute more than they take from society. If a special cupcake doesn’t get enough diversity, tough shit. Cut a hole in your pocket, fill it fulla change, then walk into a gay bar in San Francisco. Leave the rest of us alone, ya whiney dip shit.
I think the same complaint made about “Flags of Our Fathers”. No black Marine riflemen on Iwo Jima. I guess it sucks to be historically accurate.
I’ll bet Holloywood’s working on a remake of Saving Private Ryan with an all female/transgender cast.
I think Ken Burns and PBS are redressing the imbalance. I read an article today about how his telling of the Vietnam war is in the hopper. Gah! You can be sure there will be an overabundance of “diversity”, fighting and dying for white America. Someone please put a fork in me — I’m done!
Yeah, shit! There were no gays or blacks in “The Flintstones” either.
Paging Morgan Freeman.
Anyone notice the only married people in Mayberry were Otis the drunk and his wife? Everyone else is single.
The only answer is they can no longer allow historically accurate films to be made.

Anon. Now that you mention it. I think you’re right. I’ll have to review. Good insight. Hahaha
Abigail Adams
I have seen lots of famous people speak
Publicly. The absolute worst one was Ken Burns. Atrocious.
This is the result of many years of leftist education. Utter stupidity.
Keep in mind that the media is now overwhelmingly populated by “Brain Dead” Truitts.
This is the beyond parody, yet conventional and accepted mindset among these nests of fools.
How many nonwhites and women were at Dunkirk?………none. White men faught and died saving Europe.
“But every place I’ve ever been, every place I’ve ever wanted to go, has transvestites of color and paraplegic lesbians. That’s the real world. The whole, entire, real world. Without The Russians.”
In the movie “Independence Day” I had no problem seeing aliens invade Earth. When I saw the Black hooker was driving a truck leading a group of men and women who find and rescue the First Lady, my suspension of disbelief had too much.
99Problems, there are no asians on the Orient express, either, and that’s offensive…

Yes, let’s just alter history to appease the snowflakes and minorities.
It’s like saying there weren’t enough asians at the Battle of Big Horn.
Stoopid focks.
There were Asian’s at the Little Big Horn. They were American Indians who were all descendants of the supposed Asian’s who migrated across the Bering Straits from Russia to what became America. They just didn’t know it at the time. So there! Fixed it for you, it’s as good an explanation as any other.
Has there ever been a non black Harlem Globetrotter? That just popped into my mind for some reason.
