Reply to comment by [deleted] in The Decline of British Blue Collar Stories On Screen: 25 years since NIL BY MOUTH first hit screens, Gary Oldman’s film has become a relic of a time when working-class stories were major cinematic events. What happened? by Bullingdon1973

At the end of the day , it’s about money and trends. They are just following the money. In today’s culture, working class is not what most want. They want that Kardashian lifestyle. No one wants to hear about the struggles of a bricklayer or the rise of a cement finisher. IMO

It clearly isn't just about money and trends. You can't watch films or TV shows that don't exist. Oscarssowhite was only six years ago and there have been successful diverse films made because of that Twitter campaign. I think the audience is open to more economically diverse stories, but they aren't the ones executives chose to produce.
