if the director was of a different race


I believe the films would be different if the director was of a different race, ethnicity, or religious belief for many reasons, first the stories would be told a lot different and they would be less powerful. Like the movie Do the Right Thing wouldn’t have been so powerful if it was by a white director. The whole moral of the story would have changed and the story would have been switched around instead of explaining the black’s side of the story as thoroughly. In my opinion I feel like they would try to show the blacks being very rude and getting in trouble a lot. I also feel like they would try to make the whites look more innocent and never wrong.

 The movie  Schindler's List wouldn’t be as successful in its depiction of the Nazi's oppression and elimination of the Jews if Spielberg was a German Catholic because the story wouldn’t have the meaning it is supposed to. I feel the movie wouldn’t have hit that emotional spot as much as it did. This movie would come from a total different point of view if the director was a different race or had a different religious belief. For example they would try to show more horrific things they did to the Jews and try showing how not one person felt bad or tried to stop it. They would have tried to make everyone think and look at Schindler as a horrible person for trying to betray them and going behind their back.
