  It sad that even now when Hollywood is investing heavily in franchises that clearly have issues with quality and that there ideas. They can not see how embracing diversity now would better for their business model now. Instead waiting for the current business model to fall through.

  Yeah, it's really good, but some of the choices were questionable.

  Specifically regarding the ones such as "The Defiant Ones" and "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner", it seemed like he just said one simple statement and moved on. That made me confused as to why he chose to feature those films in the first place. Perhaps I missed something, but I really didn't understand those parts.

  Neziah, What exsctly did you want him to elaborate on, regarding the Sidney Poitier films?

  For example, he didn't elaborate enough when it came to the Sidney Poitier films.
