I think I've watched it at least a dozen times in the last few hours. I cannot wait to see the movie. Could we possibly be seeing our Best Actor and Best Actress Oscar winners in this movie?
Sister, when I've raised hell, you'll know it!
for me yes
shareDW is one of the best actors of the last 25 years. I would watch him read a phone book and give him an oscar nod.

Seriously? Just what I need, another movie that gets exaggerated rave reviews (especially before the movie even gets seen) by people who think I'm flattered by them. I had to stop the trailer when Viola Davis uttered one grammatically incorrect line too many, adding to her oft-quoted "You is kind..." idiocy in "The Help." According to Hollywood, which is what most non-black and sadly also black people go by, black people in the past didn't do anything but work as maids and garbage men, and had no education at all. Movies forty or fifty years ago like "Carmen Jones," "Porgy and Bess," "The Spook Who Sat By the Door" and "Nothing But a Man" were more progressive.
shareYawn. So, don't go to see it. Problem solved.
Jesus.

Your "yawn" seems to indicate an attention deficit when reading a post. It's not about seeing it. It's about seeing a lot of people misinformed and perpetuating stereotypes. That's nothing to just dismiss.
shareIt's not exactly stereotypical, more like historically accurate. In the 50s racism was a lot less of a cultural taboo, more of a norm, thus limiting career opportunities for the majority of black people.
shareI think so. It looks really good.
