Is Lucy patterning her career of of Halle Berry?


After Kill Bill was one of her strongest performances, and Lucky Number Slevin was pretty good, then she gos and does Kenny the Kleener or whatever it was called, and now this sure miss? She seems to be burying herself.

Lucy encounters the same kind of barriers that Halle Berry does. Although Lucy is one of the top actresses of colour in Hollywood she still faces the racism and the sexism. Although Lucy seems to finding her way again. I think she can make a comeback.

Racism? her only barrier is her acting ability, look at what she has to compete with lol I dont think theres anybody out there stealing her roles if she has the goods to deliever...

There are people out there so enamored with Asian women that they believe that if Hollywood isn't kissing every female Asian actress' butt, no matter how untalented or ugly they are, that it's racism. They don't bother to look at the simple picture and the self evident truth that their butts aren't getting kissed because they are untalented and/or ugly.

Besides, it doesn't matter so much if you're unattractive as long as you bring the goods to the table. Look at Sandra Oh. FUGLY Asian woman, but a pretty good actor, so she gets work.

Lucy got 20 minutes out of her 15 minutes of fame considering what she brings to the table. If her career is on the decline now, then she should feel blessed she lasted this long.
