The most racist movie since The Eternal Jew

@sandmasterflex 6 месяцев назад

How come?

@Dantegrey1 6 месяцев назад

@@sandmasterflex It postulates, that a whole 'race' of people in society is dangerous and damaging, and that they are recognisable on their skin color. This is not just the theme of the joke bits, which would be less extreme - Blazing Saddles was more than anything a Racial Comedy. It is in the whole structure of the film, so that you can not really get it, if you do not at least buy it's racist premise. This is terrifying and dangerous. I am happy to see, that most people who watch it don't.

Idk about that. But it was missing some heart. It was to logic based and cynical. IMO it needed some sistas to punch it up in a few areas.

Looks like something I'd rather watch. IMDb 5.6 The Eternal Јеԝ 2.8 Magical Nеgroes

Why didn't they hire a black man to direct this?

The producer/director is not what he claims to be.

Everyone behind this movie or chose to partake in should be absolutely embarrassed

He seems to have been bullied in school. Very BETA!

@bethanyjohnson8222 6 месяцев назад

He actually said that's why he made the movie. Apparently it was written for mixed kids raised at white schools. Which is why it's such a joke to call it an explanation of the black experience. I haven't met a single black person who wants to go anywhere near this foolishness.😂😂😂😂

@hernangodoyyanez8785 6 месяцев назад

Aren't people supposed to make movies to express something and entertain other people? why today making a movie means showing a political position in the most annoying way possible and that creates controversy and division.

@Manfrommars808 6 месяцев назад

Racist movie

@kpsk8031 6 месяцев назад

This writer/director should never work again.

@joshcanfield8906 6 месяцев назад

i wish there was any amount of satire in this movie, unfortunately this is the doctrine they believe. no jokes at all.

@TOE813 5 месяцев назад

Should have went full on satire. The name alone is so goofy that the movie should have been 100% over the top Goofy. But no it was too long and racist

@SpideySensei72 6 месяцев назад

Based on the weekend box office results, you can tell he made this for an audience of one.

@-carlos-danger1891 6 месяцев назад

I love that a B actor with no directing credits was given the reigns to a multi-million dollar movie and still cries racism. *Chefs Kiss*

@Blufishii 4 месяца назад

Make u wonder why movies by other black directors arent given the samw budget when there making films outside of black trauma and racism

I fell for the criticism of the trailer and didn't plan to watch it. I just watched the entire thing and it's not at ALL what I thought. The movie is brilliant. I hope people actually watch it..until the end.

Sensational

@jmarie9126 6 месяцев назад

It gave a White Spike Lee production feel sprinkled with South Park humor. I was the only black person in the theater. I always support David Allen.

At first i thought the film was actually about magical negros but after watching it, the only magic was that i made it through the film without vomiting in my popcorn.
