Duvall played a Western character, and in a part of the movie not significantly related to the main theme, he had a run-in with a group of scruffy Texans. And, would you feel any different if I told you that my studies of what's really going on in Hollywood demonstrate that movies, to a large extent, tend to mirror the values, interests, cultural perspectives and prejudices of their makers. In other words, there is and has been very little diversity at the top in Hollywood, in those positions with the power to determine whether a given motion picture is produced or released for viewing by American and worldwide audiences. And, that lack of diversity at the top in Hollywood produces these patterns of bias in motion picture content. The industry also has an affirmative obligation to make the control positions at the dominant film companies available to a more diverse group of executive decision-makers, so that movies can mirror the values, interests, cultural perspectives and prejudices of a more representative group of Americans.
Diversity is the key.
It is in your interest and our national interest.
