Denzel Washington and Halle Berry made history Sunday with Academy Award wins, and for many, it was a sweet victory, long past due. Nonetheless, minority groups say diversity must extend beyond Hollywood’s glamour night—and include other groups such as Asians, Hispanics and American Indians.
"If this is a sign that Hollywood is finally ready to give opportunity and judge performance based on skill and not on skin color, then it is a good thing," said Kweisi Mfume, president of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. "However, if this proves to be a momentary flash in a long history of neglect, then Hollywood has failed to learn the real meaning of equality."
In 1939, when Hattie McDaniel became the first African-American actor to win an Oscar for Gone with the Wind, it was a bittersweet victory. McDaniel’s role was blasted by progressive African-American groups, and she was limited for much of the rest of her career in similar, stereotyped roles.
Now Washington has won for his part as Alonzo Harris in the violent police thriller Training Day, playing a talented but corrupt narcotics detective who bullies his narcotics squad trainee while ruling the roost in a Los Angeles battle zone. Berry beat the field for her steamy part in Monster’s Ball as Leticia Musgrove, a Southern mother doubly bereaved—by the execution of her husband and the car-accident death of her son.
Both movies are frank, verbally profane and violent. They show things unshowable in the time of Gone with the Wind or even 20 or 30 years later.
But mostly, they showed that African-Americans could be portrayed onscreen as complex human beings— part good, part bad—rather than the bigot-fodder of decades ago: the cardboard villains, comical personas or long-suffering saints and mammies of Hollywood’s Golden Age. That battle, at least onscreen, was settled long ago. But this year’s double Oscar seals the contract.
Nonetheless, some organizations say minorities will have power in front of the camera only when there is more minority representation behind the scenes as directors, writers and producers.
"I don’t recall seeing any Asian-Americans, women or men, being recognized and not too many Latin Americans," Washington said, "So there is still a lot of work(to be done)."
In the passage, a "bigot-fodder" most probably refers to a person who is
选项
A、unique.
B、complicated.
C、unimportant.
D、simple.
答案
D
解析
根据题干中的bigot—fodder定位到第6段第1句。该句中的rather than表明bigot-fodder的性格应该与前面的part good,part bad相反,即bigot-fodder应该是性格单一,不复杂的角色,可见,本题应选D。该句冒号后举的几个例子可能会让人觉得bigot-fodder是电影中不重要的角色而选了C,但例子是用来说明前面的观点的,不能基于几个例子就作出脱离前面观点的推论。
