As a screenwriter takes notes from Hollywood executives, her beautiful diverse movie about a black American woman traveling to Mexico, slowly becomes a romantic comedy with an aIl-white cast. A quirky cerebral Iook into commerciaIism and greed, juxtaposed with a heartwarming movie that chaIlenges stereotypes. Zoe is an African American screenwriter with a beautiful script that embodies diversity. Her movie stars a voIuptuous black woman, who is not from the hood, interacting with Mexicans, who are not narcos or immigrants. ln her quest to get this non-traditional movie made, she explains to a producer, "Diversity does not mean having more bIack characters, it means telling universal narratives through diverse perspectives." But the Hollywood executives feeI differently. As she gets feedback, her unique movie sIowIy becomes an aIl-white romantic comedy. "Una Great Movie" is a funny, touching, absurd, and smart ride; it reflects on love, IoneIiness, and the choices that we make. |
