Boots Riley is taking issue with David Fincher's remarks about understanding 'both sides' amid the ongoing Hollywood strikes: 'Makes no sense in the context of where we're at.'
While promoting his upcoming Netflix movieFincher called the strikes "very sad" as someone who "sits in the middle of both parties," noting that he could "understand both sides." Riley responded to what he called Fincher's "confused take" on social media, stating that his fellow filmmaker has a "distorted worldview.
Fincher's "both sides" comments, Riley contended, "makes no sense in the context of where we're at: WGA has countered AMPTP's 113-day late offer & AMPTP is refusing to come back w a counter to that & r 'not talking.'"director added, "But yes, Fincher has made some great films. I can disagree with someone, and even disagree with a common theme in their art, and still recognize and appreciate things that are great about their [art].
