Z<\/span>eitgeist is a fascinating subject for study, conducive to a number of questions. Here are three. At what point does the culture change? When does the change become undeniable? Does it come from the top down or the reverse?<\/p>\n

For players in the entertainment business, these are not abstract questions but crucial monetary ones that will determine the success or failure of their product. They may ignore the warning signs to maintain ideological purity, but they can\u2019t escape the consequences. Then, the ultimate question becomes how badly will they get hit? One answer \u2014 badly, but not badly enough to make them reverse course, until they\u2019re thrown out.<\/p>\n

As I cited in a recent article here, director Christopher Nolan should have felt the increasing headwind against a woke version of The Odyssey<\/em> two years ago, especially given the story he was telling. In Homer\u2019s epic, King Aeolus, \u201cthe keeper of the winds,\u201d gives Odysseus a bag full of winds to advance his journey home, cautioning him not to open it all at once. After 10 days, within sight of Ithaca, his crewmen open the bag and get the ship blown all the way back to Aeolus.

Director Nolan metaphorically opened the windbag and will soon also pay a heavy price. I cited many of his problems \u2014 a feminist translation, a moderately attractive black actress (Lupita Nyong\u2019o) as Helen of Troy, a plain brown actress (Zendaya) as Athena, the goddess of wisdom, and an actress claiming to be an actor (Elliot Page) as one of Odysseus\u2019 warrior sailors. All and any of these will repel a lot of moviegoers.<\/p>\n

[T]here\u2019s no end in sight to the two most simplistic and self-destructive devices in their control \u2014 gender-swapping and race-swapping.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n

Nolan might give the excuse of being part of the woke wave when he began developing the movie, though there was already a backdraft in 2022. But there can be no excuse for others moving forward, only contempt for the majority traditionalist audience. So there\u2019s no end in sight to the two most simplistic and self-destructive devices in their control \u2014 gender-swapping and race-swapping.<\/p>\n

Coming soon: a black Man-at-Arms (the usual go-to Idris Elba, previously a black Heimdall in the Thor movies) in He-Man and the Masters of the Universe<\/em>, a black Snape in Harry Potter<\/em> the TV series, a female Aslan (the Christ figure lion) in Greta Gerwig\u2019s Narnia: The Magician\u2019s Nephew<\/em>, a black Wonder Man<\/em>, and many more. The purveyors of such infantility can virtue signal about reverse racism all they want. People over 60, especially artists, like me in both cases, know how pathetic and counterproductive this is.<\/p>\n

The first actress I ever had a crush on was Nichelle Nichols, Lieutenant Uhura in Star Trek<\/em>. Watching her at her Enterprise com station every episode, totally efficient, and gorgeous, I never thought about her race, just her legs. In her 1994 autobiography, Nichols wrote about planning to quit Star Trek<\/em> after Season One for more challenging roles, but was dissuaded by an early Trekkie, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is not a black role, and this is not a female role,\u201d King told her. \u201cYou have the first non-stereotypical role on television, male or female. You have broken ground\u2026 For the first time, the world sees us as we should be seen, as equals, as intelligent people \u2014 as we should be.\u201d But to many in present-day Hollywood, what the hell did Dr. King know? Other than some nonsense about the content of character trumping the color of skin.<\/p>\n

And one of my first role models was Bill Cosby in I Spy<\/em>. Cosby\u2019s Alexander Scott was every bit as cool, tough, and witty as his partner, Kelly Robinson (Robert Culp). As a kid, I would have gladly been either one of them. Culp and Cosby made the early decision not to address race as a message in itself. \u201cWe are two guys who don\u2019t know the difference between a colored man and a white man,\u201d Culp said at the start of the series. And that message came through loud and clear beyond the influential series through the end of the 20th Century.<\/p>\n

True, the late \u201860s and early \u201870s brought race back to the fore, boosted by the volatile times and, on-screen, the likes of Norman Lear. Archie Bunker in All in the Family<\/em> was meant to be a buffoonish racist. Only he was unexpectedly humanized by the great Carroll O\u2019Connor. And even Lear\u2019s second most popular show, Sanford and So<\/em>n, made everybody of all races laugh, thanks to the brilliance of Redd Fox.<\/p>\n

The 1980s under Ronald Reagan resurrected the I Spy<\/em> color-blind message to hit status. You had iconic favorites, not one of whom uttered a single word about race or racism: Lando Calrissian (Billy Dee Williams, The Empire Strikes Back<\/em>), B. A. Baracus (Mr. T, The A-Team<\/em>), Axel Foley (Eddie Murphy, Beverly Hills Cop<\/em>), Ricardo Tubbs (Philip Michael Thomas, Miami Vice<\/em>), Roger Murtaugh (Danny Glover, Lethal Weapon<\/em>), and many others, all incidentally written by white men.<\/p>\n

Then came Barack Obama. The overwhelmingly elected first black president could have been the last nail in the racism coffin. Instead, he unleashed it like Odysseus\u2019s crew did Aeolus\u2019s bag of winds. \u201cThe Cambridge police acted stupidly,\u201d Obama said about the arrest of a black professor, forcing open his own front door. \u201cThere is a long history in this country of African-Americans and Latinos being stopped by law enforcement disproportionately.\u201d With his endorsement, the racism rage swept through Hollywood, followed by the feminist takeover, then the straight white male exile from both sides of the camera.<\/p>\n

The new players believed they\u2019d rule forever, pouring woke crap down the audience\u2019s throat. But the zeitgeist changed, both from the ground up \u2014 we, the people, reject them \u2014 and the top down \u2014 President Trump mocks them. Which is why they hate Trump and us. Because they know we\u2019re going to swap them \u2014 for real screen artists.<\/p>\n
