In a movie or TV show made today that has to portray the physical appearance of God, how likely is it that the actor would be a white male?
I don't really care either way who they chose to be God, I'm just curious what everyone thinks the odds would be of that happening. I'd think it's less than 10% based on the current zeitgeist (that's a fancy word us smartenheimers like to use)
Didn't Whoopie Goldberg play God in something..?
I seem to recall this
'Zeitgeist' belongs in KOWALSKI'S face-punchable word thread😬
Since God has no race or gender (the Deity is far above all that), technically anyone could play the rôle. God has been portrayed by:
George Burns in Oh, God! (1977)
Morgan Freeman in Bruce Almighty (2003)
I've seen those ones. My inquiry was more along the lines of if a show was made in 2020, would any major studio have the guts to portray God as a white male, or would they be too afraid of the backlash and use anything but.
sharejust watched bill and ted 2, and god was just a voice. but he sounded white. does that help?
shareDepends on the material, the religion and the country.
I've recently watched "3faltig (2010)", a usual roman-katholic interpretation. So, God was three people (father, son, holy spirit). All white, all male.
And it was in German, home of Zeitgeist (well, the word itself).
0% and possibly forever more unless the role is to be played as satire and God is a wacky dumbass.
Burns and Freeman did it best. Half nod to Morissette's too.
This entity, not person or man or woman because those are bigoted terms.
This entity would possibly be a glorious trans person of color.
If you don't like it that makes you, racist.
Get with the program.
Whoopi Goldberg and Morgan freeman were both God years ago so this seems like a mute point to begin with 🤷♀️.
shareBut that's not at all the OP's point.
shareSHH...ITS A MUTE POINT.🤫
