A Wrinkle in Time Sells the Cult of Oprah
National Review ^ | March 9, 2018 | Armond White

Posted on 03/09/2018 5:05:23 AM PST by C19fan

What are you?” a stupefied child asks the apparition standing overhead in A Wrinkle in Time. And Oprah Winfrey answers back, “I am a part of the universe!” Oprah’s fame has cost her the transparency to be a believable actress (which she so movingly was in Jonathan Demme’s Beloved), yet she achieves godhead in A Wrinkle in Time, a Disney film devoted to pagan self- worship. It is the second phase of Disney’s black-enslavement program this year (following Black Panther), and black female Ava DuVernay joins Oprah as director of this big-screen secular parable.

We live in the age of oprah. An age of insanity. Anybody who can seriously consider oprah as president of the USA, is mentally deficient.

TV personalities rule, and that is a disaster.

“I am offended by her cultural appropriation of Northern European hair”

And understandable English.

I totally despise Oprah and always have.

A snake oil salesman for a post-rational society is all she is.

Talk about people getting the government they deserve.

Disney has a history of making hash of classic stories, going back to when they butchered Felix Salten's Bambi: A Life in the Woods.
