"...white journalists of either gender simply don’t understand her vision for the movie.” I think they understood it all too well.

She messed with the story. The movie needed to fail.

Yes. We whites are racist. That is how Black Panther made a billion dollars. No whites went to see it.

Because insulting paying customers has worked so well the last year.

If I had to choose between movie mammies, I'd choose Hattie McDaniel over Oprah Winfrey any day of the week. Hattie McDaniel was actually a good person.

As a Christian White Person, I wish I could take credit for this dismal flop of a movie. But I’ve never heard of it.

So. This failure is all on Oprah,

"According to her Twitter feed, white journalists of either gender simply don’t understand her vision for the movie.”

It's a movie, honey...if they aren't "understanding (your) vision for the movie," it kinda falls on you as the director, by definition.

Maybe the movie just sucks?

I’m so beyond sick of these clowns of any persuasion who think they should be able to demolish a popular book or story and demand that everyone pay homage to their “re-interpretation”..... if you want to make a movie about your own “vision” then do that with your own book/story. But don’t take a book/story that’s already well loved and expect ppl to fawn over your egotistical attempt to tell a new and different story.

They just trying to hijack a popular title/story and put it to very different uses. No wonder they get a lot of pushback.

Notice how the media is slowly indoctrinating (nudge, nudge) people to view Christianity as a religion of White people.

Yeah, that usually happens when Hollywood attempts to re-interpret/re-write classical literature into modern crapola -- the critics just do not understand the director's vision.

Leftists think the excising the religious aspects of a story somehow makes it more appealing to people.

It doesn’t. People instinctively realize there is a hole in the movie, even if they don’t know exactly what it is. The story just seems less organic and contrived.

The best example for me is how they get this wrong, and deny themselves the opportunity to make a really “great” movie, is the movie “Unbroken”.

It is a great movie of wartime courage and hardship, but without the religious aspect of it, it is just the same as dozens of other movies.

When Angelina Jolie made the decision to remove all aspects of Louis Zamperini’s faith, the movie fell flat.

His faith, his battles with alcohol bordering on madness, and his acceptance of God under the guidance and with the help of Billy Graham was astounding. Even more so was his journey of forgiveness back to Japan to meet with the prison guards who were still jailed, where he forgave them from his heart.

That is the key to the amazing story, not that they survived forty something days at sea, or they went through terrible, brutal, hardship at the hands of the Japanese.

The amazing thing was his faith. And they cut it out. It could have been one of the best war movies EVER, but instead, it was slightly above average.

Too bad.

All her life, she’s had ta suffah.

She should’ve gracefully ended her acting career, with that famous line.

That's not on them. Maybe she didn't understand her audience?

What she did was make a movie that SHE wanted to see, and is now blaming everyone else for not seeing it HER way.
