When I watched it, I thought how wonderful it would be to meet someone like that in person, and shake his or her hand.

I know the people who hate it assume (or know damn well he wasn’t, but want everyone else to assume) Uncle Remus was a slave, but it was set after the Civil War during Reconstruction.

I suspect they hate it because it shows a cheerful black man who loves people of any color, and they cannot have that. That goes against their template.

I have grown to despise those kinds of people who would take issue with a character like Uncle Remus.

In their zeal to recast the characters with liberal ideology, the writers have omitted an essential ingredient that made the original a lovely story: the lessons on morality, ethics, and right from wrong.

How many of us grew up knowing that Brer Rabbit was a huckster looking to fool Ol Brer Bear. In the end Rabbit gets his.

Or the compassion and gentle wisdom displayed by Remus.

The remakes toss aside these essential components that make a timeless story across all cultures.

Without the fundamental building blocks, we are left with an unattractive hateful “princess” and the mean queen is actually more beautiful. The story is inverted and the moral fabric gone, more hollowed out than that log Brer Rabbit is hiding in.

Wow. What an excellent analysis, that impressed me. Indeed the story is inverted, and the moral fabric is not just gone, it is twisted. This is the way of the Left. They take everything good an pervert it, and present perversion as normal and good.

I have only recently begun reading the Bible, so I am not generally someone who quotes scripture, but this does stick out to me: Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!

I expect this film will lose in excess of $400 Million, Needs almost $900 Million to even break even.

There is another expensive film out there I did not know about called The Electric State on Netflix with a budget of over $300 Million. They should have released it to try and make some of that money back.

Number of expensive movies still to come out and I wonder how they will do.

The last few night Is have been watching old films on YouTube from the late 1940’s , early 1950’s and they are pretty good. I came upon an actress I was not familiar with who was really good, named Marta Toren, she was kind of billed as the next Ingrid Bergman, sadly she died of a brain clot at 30. Anyway I have seen about 3 of her films and today’s actors just can’t hold a candle to someone like her.

I don’t know if the movie stinks (probably), but I do know all the articles about it I read from the Legacy Media, the MSM, offer some form of praise. The idea being the Hive (as Joe Sobran called it)is doing what it can to promote the film despite its shortcomings or because of them.

I doubt anybody is actually panicking. These “live action” remakes don’t usually make money. A couple have, which got Disney some big eyes, but mostly they don’t. But they are great for renewing copyright. Which keeps the other gravy train rolling in just fine.

Her mother is of Colombian descent. Her maternal grandmother immigrated from Barranquilla, Colombia, to the United States in the 1960s. Her father is of Polish descent.

Boycott the Rat in all things!
I hope this movie bombs so hard, it’s considered a war crime.

The Russo brothers made that one. They have flopped every thing other than marvel. Now marvel is hoping they can save the franchise. They won’t. No one cares about the crappy, M-She u characters. It will crash as well.
