Well, racist adults are complaining, to put it charitably. According to them, you can have a conversation with a crab and trade barbs with a seagull, but you cannot have a Black mermaid, because, you know, that's just not "realistic." Yeah. It's the racist adults who complain. Well-adjusted, fair-minded adults, by contrast, love, like, or pass on the film in question as they would any other film or work of art/pop art, without the umbrage, rage, disbelief, and general freakout of that select group and, well, apparently the nation China, which has rejected the remake in terms of viewings and, frankly, racist mass postings on social media. But then, are we surprised? The dictatorial regime running and shaping China would not exactly have a reputation for a fair-minded reading of a little Black mermaid: I mean, just ask the Tibetans, Taiwanese, Uyghurs, hell, even Cantonese-speaking Chinese as to how fair-minded the dominant population is. So, yeah, oui, sí, and sì, children tend toward open hearts and minds and a good number of adults keep that quality with them throughout their life's journey. Other groups of adults? Not so much.
if you liked hamilton, sebastian is daveed diggs & lin manuel miranda is co-writing & co-producing the remastered/new music for the film so it's gonna be great. can't wait for it! the cgi looks incredible.
I will gladly say I am disappointed in their reaction because Halle Bailey is great and they did not give her the recognition she deserves but this movie will show them how powerful she is
Well, you can never convince racists on matters of Truth and transcendant beauty. Racists have NEVER lived in reality. Happily, however, a good part, not all but a good and growing part of the world is evolving out of the primitive racisms and breaking the shackles of racism’s imprisoning mindset: The Little Mermaid is the number one cash-generating film in the world, even as (the very racist) Chinese government and society has rejected the film. But so what!! France, Spain, Italy, Britain, Canada, Oceana ( New Zealand, Australia, etc), much of South America, and the vast array of nations in Africa all have embraced the remake. This makes the remake no mere hit but a worldwide phenomenon. And make no mistake: audiences have embraced The Little Mermaid not because of some overt “agenda” but rather because Halle’s combination of ethereal beauty and erotic power, her magical alchemy as as an actor and her soaring artistry as a singer has made much of world BELIEVE that she IS The Little Mermaid brought to life. And when Prince Eric looks upon Ariel with such tender awe, spiritual longing, and erotic desire-LOVE-the world BELIEVES him. And that is because world audiences themselves feel and respond to Halle in exactly the same way. These are universal HUMAN responses to true beauty and aspirational art. Racism and racists are profoundly INHUMAN. Halle has WON the world of the living, aspiring, and hopeful. That is not a mere victory. That is her triumph.
You guys are definitely dudes. 😂😂. I get it, I raised a boy, so this (1999 version, or whenever it came out) wasn’t a big movie for him, but I asked him to go with me to see this remake when it drops. He agreed. I don’t know if he will get into it, but I think that he will. For me it’s an 11 on my plans to see it!! Good video guys!
Once Tiana is race swapped or another race swapped to white then I'll see this crap....too controversial especially poor Tinker Bell....Disney needs to stop pandering to their audiences
When we talk about police brutality y'all say we're making up race issues and y'all "don't see color". Now, a mermaid is Blk and y'all suddenly see color...which is it?
why would they change Tiana's race when it's integral to the story and her character? She doesn't get a license for a business because she's Black and living in the South. Just say you're an uneducated racist and move on.
@@thecommentsection4913 I say the same thing. The same people complaining about her being black are the same ones saying "We're all the same," and "I don't see race." All of a sudden their colorblindness goes away lol
It looks like a stirring fable, and Halle Bailey is stunningly beautiful, winsome, and one amazing singer. She IS the Little Mermaid come to life. As for the racist backlash --and that is what the rage, umbrage, and contempt reveals of the film's very loud and fanatical detractors--one can only note their giveaway vis-à-vis their half-hearted or snarky attempts at denying what is patently obvious: when you hold to the notion that you can have a conversation with a crab, trade snark with a seagull, and ask favours from a tentacled undersea denizen of dubious character, but you cannot have a Black mermaid in this sea world because that would violate the laws of "realism," "tradition," and "normalcy," well, yeah, it's racism, rancid, tiresome racism on the part of said "traditionalists."
