Personally‚ I feel that directors should have some degree of freedom to be creative; that is what they are meant to do.

For many years‚ movies have be dominantly played by white people‚ who‚ most of the time‚ are depicted as the “hero” or “savior.” People of color have always been in movies‚ however‚ they are presumably depicted as troublesome‚ in danger‚ or incapable of defending or protecting themselves.

The white savior complex is destructive and affects
