You think of yourself as a colored man, I think of myself as a man...

I have seen the movie once, some years ago and I really enjoyed it. I thought it said a lot that in some ways applicable to issues of today. Anyway, here is a clip from the movie 'Guess Who's Coming to Dinner'

Great movie to checkout if you haven't seen it.

Okay, so round two. (Assuming that there was ever a round one lol..)

If they were remake the exact same movie today, who would you want to cast as the two leads and/or other supporting roles?

And this isn't counting the movie "Guess Who" with Zoe Saldana, Ashton Kutcher and Bernie Mac. Good movie too, but we're talking about the casting for the same exact plot as the original movie.

So, once again, who would you cast?

Anthony Mackie (Mostly known for The Hurt Locker) as John Prentice



Lea Michele (was known in broadway circles, but nowaways mostly known for Glee) as Joanna "Joey" Drayton



Far as my pick for the character John, I tried to stay away from automatically picking someone like Will Smith or Taye Diggs. Need some fresh talent too, to keep things fresh.

 

Love the quote. Anyone who would say such a thing today would be accused of trying to run away from their blackness, and would be accused of the crime of not upholding their "black identity".

 

Indeed. Though I think as a whole the general populace is getting there, black, white, whatever - getting to a point to where they're starting to see one another as a singular person rather than "Oh, there goes another black man." Not to say that some people don't still think that, but I believe overall, that kind of thinking is becoming a fade in the wind.
