Who was the retard responsible for Mena Suvary Hair?




Please people, learn with this movie. Don't do it again.

I guess they did it, because in the real case Chante Mallard was a black woman and they wanted to make Mena look less like the "American Beauty" suburbs girl. They did her hair that way so that she might seem like a caucasian girl who would be on the South Side and hanging with thugs.

In the real case, it was pretty sad because Gregory Biggs bled to death in her garage and this woman was crying when she was on trial, but was actually laughing when she originally told her friend about it with "I hit this 'white' man." Really messed up.

It was supposed to look bad. She was a moron. She had to look the part.

They should have just hored a black actress as the film was based on a true story and in the true story the woman was black and the victim was white.

I think they were trying to make Suvari look "ghetto" with the cornrows. Well, that stupid. Shoulda just had a black woman

it wasn't based on it - it was "inspired" by it. Hence the fact the ending was 100% different than the real situation.

I just saw this last night - nice little movie.

So, Why cast Mena Suvari as a 'wannabe-black-chick' - instead of casting an actual black actress?

Reason One: Because Mena Suvari is a "name" actress whose presence, as her producer credit implies, helped to green-light the film.

Reason Two is that, if they had cast a black actress in the part, the film may have been criticized, rightly or wrongly, for being anti-black (all black villains doing horrible things to a sympathetic white character). Which was *not* the tone or intent of the film. So by casting the main villain as a clueless white chick, Gordon avoided that whole controversy, and made the film he wanted to make. I think it was a smart move - even, perhaps especially, the ridiculous braids.

The hairstyle was perfect for the character. Sure it looked hideous. But it's the kind of hairdo that a woman in this socioeconomic class would choose.

reply

Yes she absolutely looked ghetto, but everything about the character seemed ghetto. While watching I could not believe this was the same actress that tried to seduce Kevin Spacey in American Beauty.

reply

She was an idiot and her hair suited her. Her hair was funny and I was glad to see it burn.

reply

White people look stupid with these braid, and I'm saying that as a white chick.

Also, it really emphasized her giant, bulging forehead and receding hairline, but I agree it fit with her character.
