Morgan Freeman and his whole career would like a word with you.

The name of the movie came from the title of the book it is based on, written by AA author Alice Walker.

I'm not. I agree with what you said, I'm just looking at Mr. Scorsese's filmography, and it's just as bad as Woody Allen's or the Coen Brothers at how vanilla it is when it comes to others, that's all.

Only because Ellen Burstyn had complete control of the film, and was recommended to hire Martin Scorsese before he got really famous and powerful by Francis Coppola.

I forgot that Jennifer Garner was also in the movie, and a young Amy Adams that was discovering how talented she was—she did a episode of Smallville around this time, and wasn't sure how good she was—until Spielberg put her in Catch Me If You Can, and helped her realize that she could hang with the big boys and girls.

My point is that at least Spielberg will cast women in his movies—including Ms. Banks when she was still green in the industry, even POC, but I would respect her more if she'd called out Scorsese as others in this thread have mentioned for his lack of women in his films, or especially no POC in them of any note.

I forgot that she was in the Tobey Maguire Spider-Man trilogy a decade ago as Betty Brant for all 3 films. She was that forgettable.

LOL!!

Spielberg cast her in Leonardo DiCaprio's "Catch Me If You Can" back in 2002, that he directed.

Except Christopher Nolan has people like Anne Hathaway and Marion Cotillard to be in his films.

I blocked him. If he wants to be a Kane apologist, that's his business. But, with all the historical knowledge out there, Kane comes across as a pompous, "got lucky and hitched his wagon to a gravy train meal ticket" ass.

$$$ made, the more grounded, mature versions were way more successful than Adam West and camp.

Your loss. Batman is at his best when he can be either camp or dark. I came of age after the Adam West show left the air, and right before Frank Miller and Batman '89. As much as I enjoyed the Adam West version-especially the first season of it (1966), I don't want that all the time. Unlike Spider-Man or Superman,

I respectfully disagree. The Joker can be seen as the trickster clown, like in the old fables, or the morality tale that was "The Dark Knight."
