I’ve said for decades that most people don’t watch media with any kind of true comprehension or even desire to understand the artist who created it and that is actually incredibly important. In my Media Therapy class there is always an extensive discussion of the artist … who they are, their background, their motivations, and the message they are presenting through the medium they choose to create in. It’s especially valid and important if the themes are social, political, or religious.

Add to this that many people think they know better than the artist themselves and take their own bias and transference and use it as a gauge to determine the meaning instead of actually understanding the ideas that the artist is actually trying to impart through the presentation of the art itself.
Then again … White people are notoriously blind to their own levels of racism, ethnocentrism, imperialism, and privilege so it stands to reason that a film made by such a person – primarily for an audience that has already been indoctrinated in the ideas of Indigenous people as lesser or the “nobility” of White Saviorism – would be considered one of the best films of all time and the glaring problems completely invisible except to those outside of the indoctrination.
Like what Jon Stewart said about the antisemitic themes of Harry Potter.

Hateful people give themselves away so blatantly through the things they create because those deeply embedded beliefs from their warped minds leak into everything including the very words they choose. It’s inevitable that the truth of someone’s character will be revealed through art because art is created from a powerful fusion of will and self-expression.
Art isn’t accidental. It’s intentional.
All art is personal because of the transference people have with it. It is why people defend films, music, books etc with such violence and intensity online. There are very personal and every emotional experiences that people have with art. That is another reason why it’s so hard for people to see the truth of some of those pieces of artwork …
Viewing media is subjective but CREATING media is objective.
Racists create racist films. They win awards and make money because most people who watch and enjoy them are indoctrinated racists or simply ignorant.
