I know right. As a black man who has always lived in the city or an immediate suburb, why would I be interested in a rural area?
What difference does it make? I've heard this complaint from several in the black YT community before but I just don't see a problem here.
I've lived in rural areas. It's not bad if you know where you're going. I once spent a couple of years walking in those areas in the dark. My only worries were dog attacks and getting hit by speeding vehicles. I had no problems with locals. On the plus side, I enjoyed fresh air and nice sunsets(where I lived).
RC,the only thing I will say of that flick is partially true. I saw it and enjoyed it. I will say my full opinion after you seen it.
Here's a pretty good review https://www.theguardian.com/film/20...an-peele-writer-director-liberal-white-racism Now about why you don't see Black Americans get theses roles lets be honest about why they don't cast black american actors it is because they are just not as good, but that is not just black actors its the entire pool of american actors. Let's face it among young american actors talent is just not there like it once was. Why? Well casting directors will cast a mediocre talent with good looks over a great talent with average looks. They will do this over and over and these mediocre talents will get jobs after job. Unless they do it on their own they have no incentive to go and hone their skills. Then look at these British actors many of them are classically trained, they will go out and try to get better, they are willing to take on roles in smaller less known films hell lots of them will go do plays even when they are big stars because it helps them become better actors.
Yeah I could see the argument if it was Just African American Talent getting the shaft. But white American Talent cant get a shot against Brits and Aussies either. America Just doesnt produce acting talent. And yeah look no further then CW to get a read on how it works in America. The go for look over talent every time.
You think so? Give me some examples now I'm intrigued because most of the stars like Emma Stone and Chris Evans are American.
LOL> Ridiculous statement x1000. And the CW is hardly a gauge for the acting talent produced in this country. This shit with Brit actors is faddish because most producers and directors in Hollywood are still anglophiles.
I won't be seeing it this weekend something came up. But me and my girlfriend will be going next weekend. So no spoilers or just might avoid this thread all together. lol.
This is not a spoiler, but an update on the Box Office numbers from variety.com "Jordan Peele's “Get Out” continued its strong box office opening run on Friday, earning $10.8 million at 2,781 locations. Its weekend total is now estimated at $28.5 million, and it should easily win the weekend. The same, however, can not be said for Lionsgate Premiere's “Rock Dog” and Open Road's “Collide.” Already proven to be another example of how the public has BEEN "ready" for IR relationships between black men and white women on tv and movies. It's the story you tell and how you tell it. A United Kingdom, which is an independent release is already at $630,500 . Imagine the numbers if it would have opened on more screens. Hollywood is slowly exposing itself as the ones that has issue with IR between black men and white women.
