And all three “black” movies were/will be miserable failures.
I’ve never understood the rage that minorities have against white characters and white stories. For millennia, Europeans have had a talent for creating fairy-tales and stories that are passed on from generation to generation.
Other cultures don’t care or don’t have those talents. So, end result, because they won’t (or more accurately CAN’T) create their own stories, they re-wrap White stories to fit their characters.
I won’t see “Star Wars”, because Hollywood has become nothing but a morbid freak show.
FWIW. Ralph Macchio and Aileen Quinn will always be the Karate Kid and Annie.
The actual Annie comic strip was anti-New Deal. When will Hollywood make a TRUE adaptation of Little Orphan Annie with the author’s political commentary in tact?
True on all points; maybe they just realized that the overt racial scab-picking (like “12 Years a Slave” and “The Help”) were becoming tiresome even to black moviegoers...
My family has seen none of the remakes that are directed towards black audiences; let them pay to see them. I don’t need to spend my hard-earned money fomenting hate.
