It’s a fun irony where you have an author indignant at the diaspora of black literature and its narrow/stereotyped media view on black people, but fails to see his family’s drama, something tangible and real, that could posit proof of a rich non-stereotypical and insightful black story. Thellonius is too worried about the intellectual side of black literature that he loses touch with stories such as his own and appreciating that sort of insight as contribution to the black experience to counter the one that offends him so. I think that his bending to certain conceits is the film showing us, the audience, how he’s become that problem he set to critique, and the ending was him compromising his integrity for the real reason why many stereotypes continue to flood mainstream zeitgeist, money, continuing the cycle. I think the ending was that jolt back to how Hollywood will market and perpetuate. I really enjoyed how they were able to dig at Hollywood and even literary world as well while telling a poignant family drama at the heart of it all, even if the central figure is oblivious to it.
