David Foster Wallace and Hollywood's obsession with white guy biopics
Hollywood loves to take a genius, or an athlete, or a politician — a notable figure whose life was important — and dramatize his story for the silver screen. A big shot actor is called in to gain (or lose) weight and develop every tick of this brilliant person, and these stories become biopics. Or, at least, they become biopics if the genius/athlete/politician was a white dude.
