Re: Oh Dog, here we go again...
So since I started this I'll pitch in again.
If Sony if putting forwards a black actor for the publicity when there are actors that meet the stereotype are they in fact being racist?
If not, why not?
If this is the case, if Elba knows this is he an Uncle Tom?
If not, why not?
Am I being overtly or covertly racist for even daring to suggest such "terrible things"?
I'll clarify still further. I thought Tom cruise was the wrong actor to be Jack Reacher, after seeing the movie I still think so. Some characters just are what they are, more-so when thoroughly established like Bond.
Changing them is not artistic, it's not challenging, it's frequently done for the basest reasons. I remember reading an article years ago during the Schumacher batman era when some piece of the Batman's costume was altered. How true it is or not but the writer maintained the changes were about producer credits over artistic merit.
FIGHT ON!
