Brett laments that the modern director or writer often faces "creative paralysis" because of societal pressures, saying, "The problem with 'woke' right now is that they can't make a film without injecting politics." He illustrates that well-made entertainment—like Rings of Power or original films—requires balancing visual authenticity, cohesive storytelling, and thematic depth. When those elements are sacrificed for "woke" messaging, the art suffers.
