My profession is rarely portrayed at all. If I ever see an editor in a movie, the character is apt to be judge, antagonist, or surrogate parent to the author character. Nobody (nobody) wants to watch someone marking a manuscript, looking things up in reference works, and pausing for long periods of brain wrangling.
For reasons I don’t really understand, we seem to be fine with the idea that people in all professions, walks of life, ethnicities, races, sexes, types of disability, etc., are individuals. We don’t expect everyone around us to be representative of something. But the minute we see them on the screen we want them to be Everyman and Everywoman for each category they belong in. If they are too typical, we call it stereotyping, and if they are too idiosyncratic or (heaven help us) disagreeable, we scream Misrepresentation. You can’t even invent a new race and skin color and profession and planet for your bad guys without somebody claiming them as their representatives and then taking issue. I am thankful not to be trying to make movies in this age of PC nuttiness.
