Not wrong, but poor dude probably just wants to get hired to make another movie someday.
Comment on ‘It affects everything’: why is Hollywood so scared to tackle the climate crisis?

“I just wanted to make sure that with the movie, we don’t ever feel like [it] is putting forward any message,” director Lee Isaac Chung, who grew up in Oklahoma’s tornado belt, told CNN. “I just don’t feel like films are meant to be message-oriented.”
Has the whiff of cowardice about it.

As I said elsewhere, I think in reply to you again Emperor 😁, Twisters mentions there are more tornados than ever and its the worst they’ve ever seen.
I can’t remember them mentioning if it has been getting worse year after year, but to me, it feels like they almost want to mention climate change but not cross the line.
Despite that, it is two hours of wonderful entertainment. Wasn’t expecting that from a legacy sequel!

Looks at every film ever made - and then every other piece of media
If media isn’t supposed to have a message, what the hell has he been watching/reading?

It’s newspeak for “I don’t want messages that I disgree with in my media.”
Just like when conservatives complain about something being “political” they mean “progressive” and by progressive I mean “they saw a minority.”
It’s a way of saying something without saying it.

Oh yeah, sorry a bit of tongue in cheek sarcasm there. We all know films have always had messages, storytelling has always had a message. It’s just they had a weather disaster movie and now (and going forward) it’s going to be pretty much impossible for hollywood to avoid climate change when doing a weather disaster story.
