Black Annie was not a good film.


Not completely horrible just extremely mediocre. Just another entry into the yawnfest movies have become. The racial pandering, while realistic, is annoying.

I thought it was a funny movie with great music and uniquely fun dance moves.

You're the one pandering to race, not the film.

reply

The film pandered to race by deliberately miscasting the title role. Why?

Go read the comic strip.

Cyclo the pedant, making idiotic posts on this board for over a year. Always trying to hide his racist views but not always being successful.

Wrong assumptions. Go read the comic strip to see how ridiculously inaccurate this movie is, because the title character wasn't in it.

This movie reduces Annie to a generic character, but she's not the faceless generic you want her to be.

This is just a bad movie.

The next Peanuts movie should star a brown Chihuahua as Snoopy just because they can.

Why not?

It's called reinterpreting a fictional role, not miscasting a character based on a real human being. The original Annie didn't live in modern day New York, either.

reply

Annie isn't just a role. She's a visual icon with 31,000 comic strips from 1924-2010 that display precisely who she is.

There's no reinterpreting an established visual icon.

This movie tried and it failed as a result.

This film didn't mention race. You're talking about race more than the film did. The topic of race was never mentioned in the movie nor any reference to Annie's race. Ironically, YOU'RE making it about race, yet you're claiming the FILM made it about race.

People like you, ironically, claim that Hollywood has a "PC agenda" yet it's people like you who keep bringing the topic of race up with your vehement hatred of casting a black actors in a role typically played by white actors. People like you are the ones talking about it more, not "PC" Hollywood.

They're just making casting choices where they see race is irrelevant. They're not saying black is better, but that skin color is irrelevant. But you see skin color. You notice race. And you have a problem with race in certain circumstances.

Did you complain when Ant-Man was cast as Paul Rudd, a brunette when Ant Man of the comics has red hair? Probably not. Just admit you don't like black people. You have a problem with them, admit it.

Much like that cry racism via a victim complex. People like you and the OP cry PC and racial pandering. Fact. This was a vanity project for Willow Smith. She grew out of then roll. Freah off an Oscar nom, they used Quvenzhané Wallis. This had nothing to do with race pandering.

Fact! Race baiters like you and the OP won't accept this.

This movie reeks of Jewish agenda. They've been slowly but methodically turning all white roles into black roles with the ultimate goal of making white culture vanish completely.
