Is G20 a DEI movie? (1 Viewer)

Since G20 is a movie, I posted down here, but the question is a political one.

G20 (2025) ⭐ 5.1 | Action, Thriller

It's about a Black female President. She faces off against a white terrorist. And she kicks butt.

So, is she a DEI character?

AI Overview
While the movie "G20" starring Viola Davis as a female, Black president who saves the world from terrorists, could be seen as having DEI elements it's more accurate to describe it as a political action thriller that happens to feature a strong female lead and a diverse cast, rather than a movie solely focused on DEI.

Is she a Republican or a Democrat in this movie?

President Sutton’s politics are pretty vague — an angry Senator who opposes her is listed as an independent — but she does hope to initiate a program to eliminate world hunger. (Ah, a bleeding heart lib!) But she wants to do it by encouraging businesses (an old school conservative?) to utilize bleeding edge crypto technology.
That said, Viola Davis is a Black woman, and when scolding her daughter, she reminds her that she’s had to work twice as hard to get where she is.

'G20' review: Viola Davis goes Rambo against Antony Starr's crypto bro terrorist

Viola Davis's explosive, action-packed 'G20' is completely ridiculous — and all the more better because of it. Antony Starr, Anthony Anderson, Ramón Rodriguez, and Marsai Martin.

Aha, had to work twice as hard to get to where she is, that definitely is sending a DEI message, or not??

What say you all?

Trailers always make movies look good or at least better than they are
Have you seen it?

No. Plan to. But my question remains, with the theme of this movie, does it seem like a DEI movie? Like a black mermaid, or a non-white female playing Snow White, will the idea of a black female President come across as trying to "send a DEI message?"

Its fiction, so who cares. The snow white one was silly as the name was literally a description of her skin color. Not that it is of huge importance but it is straying from the source material. I care more about factual rather than fictional works being correct. Ex U571 changing a British sub to an American one or Bravehart with its sillyness (Rob Roy was a much better film)

News flash, it's a movie. It's fiction. The writer can make it anything they want.

I can only speak for myself and the MAGAsphere, but DEI is any character that sends a message about white males being bad.

MAGA.

I agree. I didn't hear that though when a black mermaid came out.

You know, when someone is hired to play a black role just to promote blackness, like the idea of a black female President.

You're intentionally promoting the disinfo that DEI is tokenism?

That is how some people might think, hence the question. I also suspect, some ( I do emphasize "some") might avoid this thread because they do believe DEI is tokenism but don't want to be caught saying so.

Or, it's just a movie and what is the big deal?

IMO, just because a movie has a hero who happens to be a person of color and/or a female and a villain who happens to be a White male doesn’t automatically make it DEI any more than a movie with a White/male hero and a non-White/female victim automatically makes it racist or sexist.
BTW, I love books and movies with strong, independent heroines who kick ass (male and female), aka Sarah Connor, Lt. Ellen Ripley, Katniss Everdeen, etc.

You do KNOW there will be a few out there, though they will never say it out loud, that will think "a black female President that said she had to work twice as hard as anyone else to get where she is sure sounds like DEI to me."

Yes, I understand that. That’s just not my position. If I see a woman or minority in a place of power, whether in a movie or real life, I don’t automatically assume they only got there because of DEI, just like when I see a White man in a similar position, I don’t automatically assume that he earned his position.

Maybe I am odd, but the question I ask of movies is "is it entertaining?" If yes, then the politics it presents do not matter to me. If no, then who cares about the politics, I ain't going to watch it. Maybe you should refocus on what is important...
