don't be a racist
sharewe are not, they people who made this movie are.
shareWhat did Disney do that was racist? Simply casting a black actress in a formerly white role is not racist.
shareThey are disparaging whole continents for not watching it....
shareReally? Show me an example of Disney doing this?
shareShow me an example of Disney condemning their fan base for being racist towards France,Asia and anywhere else they are spewing their mouths about.
shareWhy should I? I'm not claiming that they are. You are claiming they are "disparaging whole continents for not watching it". So, are they or not?
shareIs it racist if the roles are reversed?
shareIt is business as usual. The people that complain the most about a black Ariel pretend to be completely ignorant about the long tradition of using white actors in roles that were originally intended for people of color.
shareit is a yes or no question cupcake. Is it racist if thevroles are reversed?
shareI don't answer people who see fit to insult me instead of behaving themselves. Go be a rude snowflake somewhere else.
shareI thought so. Thanks for proving to me and everyone else once again you're just a little bitch with no real substance. Also, again, only liberals can be snowflakes. Nice try cupcake.
shareWhy are they rewriting the story?
..... a famous story, where the author writes:
"They were 6 lovely children, but the youngest was the most beautiful of them all, her skin was as clear and bright as a rose petal, her eyes as blue as the deepest lake, but like all the others she had no feet, the body ended up in a fishtail."
I think Disney wanted a more child friendly film. If they stuck to the 1837 storyline, it would be rated R. https://www.online-literature.com/hans_christian_andersen/2084/
The mermaid is naked, no clothes at all until she is ashore.
The mermaid pays the sea witch for the potion she uses to change her tail to legs, with her tongue, not just her voice.
The mermaids every step is as painful as walking on knives.
After the prince marries another woman, the mermaid receives a knife from her sisters who had traded their hair to the sea witch.
The Mermaid is to plunge the knife into the prince's heart and allow his blood to wash over her so that she can turn back into a mermaid and return to the sea.
The mermaid instead throws the knife into the sea then dies and turns into sea foam.
Imagine Tarantino or Burton adapting this story to a movie script. Would it make a good film? Probably. But not child friendly at all I think.
The Burton version would have been amazing (but I'm talking about 1980s/90s Burton here, not the guy who remade Dumbo...)
