    Thank you for making and posting this video. I'm a lifelong cinephile with Asperger syndrome, and I want to win an Oscar one day so I can end my acceptance speech with: "And finally, to anybody out there with a disability, if anybody tells you you can't realise your dreams, well, damn it... *holds it up over my head* you tell them about this!"

      He made you believe a man could fly. And then no longer could. Such a shame. He was thrown off a horse. He died 9 years later after that oscars speech. He deserved an honorary award but I don't think he got won. He died 9 years after the speech. At the age of 52 in 2004. I'm only young but the tragedy is still sad.

      It’s vital to remind people that the disabled community holds a wealth of talent. We are so dismissed, so marginalized. Without these examples, the disabled will continue to be under employed in the industry. There is a rising tide of remarkable talent out there and the entertainment business needs to promote diversity and inclusion of the disabled to challenge the horrible stereotypes that we are less than or worse, invisible.

    • @faizanabdullah4977
      @faizanabdullah4977 3 года назад

      @@JLeBrecht if it is about equality and inclusion, then it shouldn't be highlighted what the differences in appearance are. It shouldn't matter how one looks or what disease they carry. This distinguishing element adds to the stereotype that indeed these people are somehow lesser individuals that need a 'separate' mention. And even if you wish to concede to their 'uniqueness' on a public platform, 'disabilities at the oscars' is one hell of a problematic term to refer to someone. A more respectful and uplifting language could be used.

    • @JLeBrecht
      @JLeBrecht 3 года назад

      @@faizanabdullah4977 I am very glad to have a dialog with you about this. So, first off, thank you for replying. I don't completely agree that if one separates out people with disabilities that this means that they are "somehow lesser". I think that one can look at other marginalized communities, like female directors, for example, and apply the same justification for wanting to highlight women as an important artistic force in Hollywood that has been overlooked, or worse, denied opportunities because of their sex. Sexism and Ableism exist. How we counteract that calls for a number of different tactics. This video is just one part of a campaign that is needed to open up minds to include people like myself in hiring decisions. Not just to be nice. But because it makes good business sense.
