Yea that whole "we are all human!" shit is a lil different when you have to face actual real life institutional discrimination because of it. 

As a brown Latino , I completely disagree. 

 

The fact I hate how Hollywood represent us shouldn't be a reason to ban those movies.

 

America literally choose a guy that hate us and want us out. Yet we don't try to ban movies out of thin air

Then they can make a movie Almost Conqueror and cast Boyega. 

 

Yeah just like they made a movie about TOTAL CONFEDERATES LOSERS starring Clark Gable.

I never thought America could go anywhere close to our level of banning cultural and entertainment products.

 

Guess I was wrong.

1 theater not showing a movie /= government banning something from the entire country

I can imagine one day modern GWTW- Titanic, could get banned because of absence of colour-people in the movie

This is also only one theater that isn't showing Gone with the Wind. It's not like the film is being removed from stores or digital sources. It's not as if AMC - as in the cable station, not the theater chain - has announced that they're not going to marathon it on Thanksgiving.

Now this right here is a prime example of a strawman.

Well, it's one-theater close, isn't it?

For me it is really simple:

It would have been fine If they did cast a person of colour in GoT or Lotr or whatever but that doesn't mean that they would have to cast one just for the sake of having a person of colour.

So what about an all black cast? Would that be as offensive to you as an all white cast??

No. Because the last century of film hasn't consisted almost entirely of movies with all-black casts.

Every time I think this thread can't possibly top itself it somehow succeeds in doing just that.

Fine. You are right about it but it doesn't change the fact that there shouldn't be a complain about every all-white cast that is out there.

Extreme examples like that aren't exactly comparable to broad fantasy.

No he's right. I hate how liberal Hollywood is always shoehorning minorities into movies about white Irish albino families. It makes me sick.

I'm not reading through this whole thread, but problem with GWTW isn't that they didn't cast enough people of color. Do people seriously think that's what's wrong?

 

The problem is the constant racism from literally every character. They glorify the klan at one point. Frank and Ashley are members and they join up with them to go destroy an entire shanty town and kill everyone there because Scarlet was almost robbed by two men while passing through it. And yet we are supposed to think these are the good guys.

Oh does one? Sorry I thought you were being serious about Irish albino movies, I didn't realize you were being sarcastic my mistake.

No nobody was making that argument, that's just where the topic ending up going.

No, I didn't know about Hannibal's ethnicity. I only know the story because of frozen elephants. That's all I really remember and hate it for animal cruelty.
