lab276 Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 It did OK, for a movie of that subject matter. Especially in Australia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatebox Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Racism exists everywhere, but I think the subject matter of The Help was a uniquely American snapshot of the issue. UK critics weren't especially taken with the film as I recall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Craig Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Re: Red Tails Very few movies with mostly black cast are released overseas.That's a shame. Really speaks to the reality of where racism exists with deep roots. Not saying it's solved in the States but the perception is that the US is this vitriolic racist hub. However, when it comes to money the film has little or zero financial viability outside N.America.So blacks in Europe would have zero interest in this? Non racist whites as well, got to be some. Blacks in Brazil and other places? I find it amazing. I want to believe it's a Lucas decision and not the other way it's looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BK007 Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 It's not because they're black that people don't care, if that were so, why would Will Smith and Denzel Washington be stars?It's because the rest of the world doesn't give a damn about racism issues in the US. Plus most of the all-black cast movies ie TP movies, I'd think black people in other parts of the world don't care about because they identify themselves as British or Brazilian or Kenyan or wherever they're from. In America there's too much of a distinction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just that they need compelling concepts if a movie has black stars. Edited February 27, 2012 by grey ghost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
