Tell me about it... ;-)
Amazing << Hear this. Feel this, and tell me that this isn't music.
Oh, dear...
I like that review, the gist of which is that it wasn’t so much about Stupid White People vs. African Americans but rather everybody in the movie is dumb and/or deficient EXCEPT Beyonce (PBH).
Everybody has to tone down their performance so as not to upstage the Big She.
Chris Brown would straighten her out.
Aieeeee!! “Rising Sun” was more racially stereotyped than Charlie Chan and Mr. Moto combined! Their portrayal of an all-powerful, all-encompassing, inscrutable Japan, Inc. was a laugh-riot. Seriously, imported geisha girls in L.A.? puhleeze! And of course, all the characters could do chop-sockey.
Especially as it was by then 1993 and the “Lost Decade” was well underway. The Rising Sun was already in the dumpster.

It was indeed. Crighton didn’t want a black man in a key role because he felt the black racial focus would distract from his Japan bashing.
I could never figure where Crichton’s motivation came from. James Clavell’s “Shogun” and the concurrent mini-series portrayed the Japanese as bloodthirsty death-worshipping savages but at least Clavell had done time as a POW.
Who peed in Chrichton’s Wheaties?
Probably would not have to look to hard to find in the third reich’s vault of infamy a similar movie detailing a treacherous jewish woman pursuing a pure minded german couple. Most anything that the left does today is race based enforced with the explicit charge of “racism” readily wielded, and little about what they do is totally original. Ironic that the political faction that pledges the one world of deracianated humans plays on racial fears and race bigotry.
“Those who love to hate anything theater, arts related will drink the Schlussel Kool-aid and post per pictures (like that gives any credibility). “
So, you admit you have a strong liberal tendency?
. You see the film? Naw, you just like to belong to hate groups like Debbie Staussel rides over who knows she has a niche in stroking the racist and biased needs of her little minions when it comes to the Arts and ENTERTAINMENT. When a talk show hosts starts talking about a film he has not seen I usually change the station to return another day. I am embarrassed too often for the ingnorance displayed.
That film was no more racist than I am. In fact, it was more a feminist film (thriller genre). It also depicted how a woman (black or white) in REAL LIFE would MORE LIKELY act if confronted with this obssessive FEMALE adversary. Most films have depicted married white women as pretty "dumb", liberal upbringing. Single, strong (Jody Foster type). Married just out of touch, tending the nest of her fledglings and bonding with her female suburbia friends over lattes.
Are you, for some reason, afraid of culture or the arts? A closeted arts lover? Stop with the knuckle dragging. So indecorous in this Land of Freeperdom.
The film was racist or TOO black..gimme a break!
Cute kid in the pic..used for a caption aka poster edited probably by some white person to hide behind while making their own statement. Better than a white sheet I suppose.
Did a hole any deeper?
I wish her luck and hope she will keep telling herself she doesn’t have to always take the role that puts her in the same category as so many. I think if given the right scripts...she could be one heck of an actress in serious rolls.

What are you attempting to say? Do you even know? Take your meds and chill, it’ll be ok!
