The American Society is one of the strangest movie premises I've seen, and I'm still amazed it's got made. Yet this is the debut outing for the director Kobi Libii who also wrote the movie, and the critics aren't pleased. Seemingly surprised that a meme couldn't be dragged out for multiple hours, half are annoyed that the movie doesn't go far enough. While the rest critique the film on it's merits, in that it has none. The reviews are interesting in how they try to dance around the fact that it's bad. But even then are unable to actually recommend it, desperately looking for anything good to cling on to, or spouting how they wish it had gone further. While the ones who decide to actually look beyond the premise, at the characters, the story, or the comedy hate it all the more. But what do you think of what you saw? Let me know your thoughts down below and as always, thanks for watching :)
Black on White violence: *silence* Black on Asian violence: *silence* Black on Jew violence: *silence* Black on Black violence: *silence* Blacks committing mass theft, assault, other crimes far in excess of their proportion in the populace: *silence* 5 Blacks killed by someone other than an inner city black in the middle of a drug turf war: "That's RACIST! 😱"
If you flipped the colors, the creators would be jailed. But this way around is apparently OK, and not r-word youtube won't let me type. ...that yt issue just adds fuel to my fire, really.
Cant help but think back to Blazing Saddles and Men in Tights where Mel Brookes parodied this racial shit decades ago and leagues better. Hollywood talent really has gone down hill to where its largely non-existent.
Reminds me of those clowns that believe in that myth that a super "diverse" scientist created white people as a race for servitude and somehow they managed to conquer the super advanced "wakandas" that created them and then convinced every other race on the Earth to erase any proof that the "diverse" people were actually the rulers of the planet. Lol Could be a kickass plot for a film though.
Yeah but… that's actually the whole point of the movie. You did understand that, right? It's a satire. It's ripping the piss out of all those movies like the Legend of Bagger Vance. Those movies have Black characters who are wise and powerful and kinda magical (or sometimes straight up magical), and yet somehow the world still expects them to settle for second place and do nothing more than make white people happy In this move the protagonist rebels against that idea. The entire point of this movie is to show what bullshit that trope is
I didn't have much of a problem with that movie until that scene. Like bitch stfu, I'm a woman and you don't see me bitching and moaning about what society expects of me, I just am what I want to be not what others want me to be. It's not impossible
And it’s hilarious how most of those issues are ever brought up by men. Not a single man will ever disregard you if you’re not a “career woman”, unless it’s some Middle Eastern Muslim or something.
It was a stupid speech about how hard it was to moderate one's adult life. That's it. A rant about moderation and knowing what your priorities are. The fact that they treated it as epic coming from a woman makes it that much more evident how low the bar has become.
I find it interesting that they try so hard to fabricate 'racist' scenarios, and fail completly. Like the guy trying to walk inbetween the *middle* of two people, a couple mind you, who both also try to walk out of his way, while claiming he's the only one who has to steer around other people. Racism is so scarce they can't even fabricate it properly.
I’m a giant white man, 6’3” 280, I’m not fat, just a big dude, and incredibly hairy, long braided hair down to my ass, huge beard. NOBODY moves out of my way in shopping malls. If I don’t move they would get mowed down, it’s mind blowing. Sometimes I’ll get irritated and won’t move either, I’ll just stop before the point of impact and stare at them like “are you serious”. They could at least meet me half way, move a little, nope. Asians are the worst for not moving.
@varuug I don’t want to bump into anyone, ya know. It just blows my mind they expect my giant ass to dance around them without even attempting to meet me half way.
@@Ramsey276one That was only the inept part and that is what happens when you put people in positions of power that they didn't earn or are very unqualified for the job.
The sentence of "the worst thing imaginable: being a normal person in America" reminds me of that meme clip: "You can't scare me!" "Take him to Detroit." "No! Please! Anything but that!"
A blind man saw this failure coming from thousands of miles away and without a seeing eye dog😆 Also, I like how as the video went on, the rotten tomatoes critics score went down from 50% to 46% 😆
I mean, it's a satire of a really racist cliche. The whole point is to point out that this stuff keeps happening in other movies, and to point out how ridiculous and racist it is So I'm not sure what your point is. Of course the movie is gonna include some racist stuff. But only to laugh at how dumb it is, and how it shouldn't have to happen
How eastern are we talking? The regular JP, KR, CN stuff? Or have you expanded to Bollywood and anything right of it? I'm at the point of anything with subtitles gets a chance. 😅
yeah when racial issues come up I automatically think "okay this is meant bait or get outrage or is just fake" They can't stop themselves. I think they get a reward pathway dopamine hit from this idea that tehy are forcing their perversions on the rest of society. Would follow easily with the very popular Game Theory of Evolutionary Biology fame: everything is a zero sum game in human behavior for dominance. Everything.
Bare in mind, it isn't all of em. Don't let the inevitable clap back be a blanket disparagement. We have to be better than they are by examining each soul with a blank slate, and let their own actions damn or redeem each in kind.
I never thought in my life that victims would be so vilainously entitled and power hungry and that they could convince everyone else to just go along with it...
When people see kindness as a weakness, they typically respond in one of two ways. One is to become as calloused as possible and be disgusted at any sort of act or call of or for kindess. They do not want the flaw to be present in themselves. The second, far worse option, is that people decide to take advantage of your "weakness, either appearing to be in need of it (lying and cheating others who actually need it), or displaying false kindesst for clout and profit. And that's what we're seeing all too often.
It astonishes me that this film got made. Imagine making something so divisive and racist. But then again, it's coming out of Hollywood - so perhaps not such a surprise.
Why is it a surprise to you? Blαck people have been doing their best for many years to prove they’re extremely rαcist, so much so they ended up saying “being black means you can’t be rαcist” in an attempt to hide it. Plus, white people are the only people you can be abundantly rαcist against and get applauded for it.
I asked my black Professor, when he was going on a rant about racism, that if young black men had a reputation for being nice, polite, helpful, and not breaking laws, do you think they would be treated better? He couldn't answer that 😅
The answer is that race shouldn’t come with a reputation at all….being white doesn’t mean you’re racist, and being black doesn’t mean you’re a criminal. If you see it any other way you’re just dull
When a "critic" refers to modern piece of "entertainment" as "not as bad as the internet says it is" then it's probably just as bad if not worse, never trust them and pirate the movies instead, at least the suspense of whether or not you'll get a virus will be far more entertaining than the trash you just put in your pc
You have to keep in mind: These people never stir from their own community. Where they live out their frivolous little lives, bodies are commodities, depraved sex acts are a currency you exchange to get so much as a clerical job, and the Party of Slavery, Jim Crow, and the White Man's Burden is the dominant political party. Frankly, it's been a very long time since most of them have had a normal human interaction. I frankly look at their accusations as self-snitchin'.
The Oscars are made by a small group of like-minded people that do not represent the audience or industry as a whole, and carefully select people to join their special club. There's a reason why Oscar Bait exists, you just need to meet their criteria.
This reminds me of the comic book Black where only black people had super powers yet were still oppressed. They so desperately want to be the victims that even when they have all the power they want to act weak.
@@Tarumarugan I don't like those who perpetuate the narrative that they're always the victim of oppressive systems when it couldn't be further from the truth. If you want to have an actual discussion about the topic I'm more than willing, but if you just want to assert stupidity then take that shit elsewhere "bro".
Only black people have super powers and no other races? Wow. They made a comic just to whine and hate, what a pathetic little racist piece of trash the writer is.
Like these millionaires talking about how oppressed they are. Like LeBron James playing in a sport that’s dominated by people that look like him, and yet they are somehow still oppressed.
Or how Wakanda is this super-advanced society that had a millennium lead on technology over the rest of civilization, and yet their whole history was about hiding their entire existence from the world because they were terrified the evil white colonizers were gonna get 'em. Utterly pathetic.
The "Us vs Them" thing is not working or realistic, and it's extremely stupid to think that attitude is profitable. Yay, fighting racism with more racism, what could possibly go wrong?
Thank you producers of this movie. I wanted a reason not to care, be polite, or try to help others. This is the perfect answer. Since nothing I can ever do will change anything, I done.
Anyone remember the movie Undercover brother? That is essentially the same premise as this movie but done tingue in cheek with self awareness and was made to be funny for all audiences without being preachy at all
Totally underrated flick. They take nothing seriously in the entire film, which makes it work. I'm gonna git you sucka is another great one, though it covers a wider array of tropes and not just this one. I miss the days of In Living Color where EVERYONE gotta made fun of. That's what brings us together...
I am fairly certain, being a human being on planet Earth my whole life, that all successful social interaction is ultimately about making other people feel more comfortable.
Now imagine if this movie was a 1970s Blaxploitation parody of Harry Potter done with all the care and wit of Blazing Saddles... I'd pre-order tickets.
A movie where Black Dynamite was a mage would be pretty cool, but none of the clowns in Hollywood have the talent that the people making those movies had.
I also find it odd (not really) that I haven't seen a movie that tries to unite black/white people in God knows how long. Does anyone remember those black guy/white guy action-comedies? Men In Black, Cop Out, Pulp Fiction, Trading Places... RDJ in Tropic Thunder 😏
When the silicon packing gel in your delivery from Amazon (Warning: Do Not Eat) has more intellectual depth than a two-hour movie, you should know you have a problem. ps - That said, these are the same people that eat the packing gel anyway.
Satire is one of the hardest genres to do. But this was made by a newbie director, who also wrote and produced it. And who also apparently doesn't have much of an actual sense of humor. It's no wonder it was a train wreck. I also note that he looks similar to the lead actor, Justice Smith- a case of self insert?
... Okay Matt Damon and Ben Afleck wrote and starred in Good Will Hunting as a means of starting their acting careers. They did a good job with it and it worked.
@@darrekworkman5595 Lots of new filmmakers have done a good job. Starting with one of the hardest genres (satire), though, is like taking Calculus but skipping the previous couple math levels. Plus Libii wrote, directed, and produced it himself- that's a lot to take on when you're not experienced. Damon and Affleck didn't do a satire, but a drama, and they picked one of the top indie directors to direct their script instead of trying to do everything themselves. And though not famous, they were experienced actors by then.
It's amusing that, at the same time, a movie similar in intent was released. "American Fiction" pokes fun at the New York publishing world in which a respected academic black professor who can't get his books sold angrily writes a parody of the types of books they want, and it becomes a best-seller. Note that this is not a parody, but a documentary. I've talked to several black authors who want to write fun science-fiction, or young adult novels about horses, and were told in no uncertain terms that New York publishers don't want them to write those stories.
Sarah Hoyt has talked about this sort of thing. She's a Portuguese immigrant, you see, and she writes (mostly) science fiction. The New York publishing houses were interested in offering her a book deal, if only she'd write about her 'life experiences' as an oppressed Latina. She was A) shocked to discover that she was apparently oppressed by society and B) kind of offended at the idea she was Latina. Not to imply that there's anything wrong with being a Latina, only that Portugal had made it very clear they weren't Spanish (and never had been a Spanish colony) several centuries ago. She's since come to terms, begrudgingly, that for most Americans it's just below their global resolution. Iberian peninsula = Spanish = Latina.
@@boobah5643not too much blood between those two countries, am I right😮😂? It's pretty clear at this point, to me anyway, that there is an agenda behind all this. Allowing the natural crossovers suggested would help integrate a society around shared experiences, whereas the current state openly divides us. Intelligent, harmonious populations are harder to control. Baseline intelligent, divided ones are much easier....
Publishers are a pain, they never want to publish what authors want to write, but only what they can sell en-masse for the season. That's why self publishing is so popular for people who enjoy writing more than selling.
This movie wants to be racist against the majority of customers without losing the majority of customers as customers. They literally want to have their cake and eat it too and that ain't going to happen. You know as a white American I would love to live in the universe this movie is in. Where black people have to be nice to white people or we're the problem. Because in this day and age if you're not nice to black people who've committed a crime other black people will riot for a year and a half destroying multiple cities and killing over 30 people. I kind of think that indicates there the people we have to keep happy or they become violent.
I'd be curious to know how many black men *loved* the representation that the rather soy-latte main character provided? (speaking of both his behavior and appearance, btw)
"Black people should muffle their personalities and desires in exchange for safety ..." How exactly would that make them different from anyone else? As a white male professional, I can tell you for a fact that I muffle my personality REGULARLY to get along with the people around me, because that is the polite and sensible thing to do. I live with a filter that makes me not say the first thing that comes to mind and not discuss every topic I'm thinking about, because that might make me unpleasant to my co-workers ... and I don't want that because I like being employed. That's just a fact of life. If Black people think it's ok to go around life without a filter ... maybe *that* is the problem instead of us.
@@samblack5313 youtube doesn't like it when people say disparaging things about "presidents" and people that are in the wef and Blackrock you used a naughty no no word and got hit by a bot idgaf what your opinion of me is
Its cause they're so full of hate. They do self reflection, sort of, as in a sort of "What would I do if I was in this situation" sort of thing. Except they remove the self from that. They refuse to acknowledge that they're the hateful ones.
I love it when a black person says something racist and they say it's satire, it's just satire it's not racist when a black person says it, I love it when a black person says something racist about another race and they say it's not racist because I'm black so I can say whatever I want......
The following joke sums up my feelings about most, if not all, "activists" ... A man is driving home when his wife calls to tell him to be careful because there's a psychopath driving the wrong way on the freeway. He responds ... "ONE GUY?! ... THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF THEM!"
I'm starting to suspect that UA-cam won't let people say "negro" in their videos. It seems to me that it's a word that is more outdated than offensive. I didn't expect that the future would be so censored, but I'm glad that big brother is so protective of everyone's feelings.
There are _a lot of words_ you can't say if you don't want your video or comment throttled, especially if you have already received strikes/reports for content in the past.
@@samblack5313 I am in the same boat. Very few of my comments ever see the light of day, and even totally innocuous comments on non-political channels disappear when I log out and check back in on them later. So much for the promise we were told back in the nineties, that the internet would bring a new era of understanding, and diverse individuals would discuss their differences in an open forum and overcome their biases. People addicted to social media are even more Balkanized and isolated than they were before the internet existed.
What is genuinely sad about this is that 500+ young black men will see their lives ended at the hands of other black men in Chicago in 2024, same as 2023, 2022, 2021 and the ten years before that. Similar stories in several other major US cities; tragic that is not addressed for fear of being classified as -ist or having white savior complex. This movie compounds the erroneous opinion held by many that white people/police pose a threat to black people in the US today. The last 40 years have shown they are only a threat if you live in the middle east and (largely) white neocons have your country in their sights.
Fucking preach. Hollywood will never address the actual problems with black communities, just what is marketable and will sell. But fuck they can't even do that correctly
Small people with small minds and big egos are always a threat when they have power; there ARE corrupt cops. No government office is above corruption. That said, it drives me insane that they talk about black lives mattering, but they literally don't care about all those young black people in danger and misery, many of whom didn't choose it.
You literally could have made a movie where a kid grows up finding out he comes from a long line of hoodoo priests. Connecting with Baron Samedi to battle evil voodoo priests. I AM NOT EVEN A WRITER AND I JUST MADE A BETTER STORY FOR A MOVIE.
At this point I'm convinced that my eight year old self could come up with better stories for Hollywood than the current crop of creatives (I use that term very loosely).
Bruh. I’d watch that. I’d love that. None of us will ever see that. Hollywood does not want black people to have cool things (or _do_ cool things) anymore. Wonder what African cinema’s got going on these days…
From IMBD: "Eddie Murphy's agents Rick Cook and Adam Venit put this movie on Murphy's desk in Feb 2023. Fifteen minutes into Murphy's reading of the script he had these agents removed from his estate by security personnel, after which they were promptly released from their contracts. His wife Paige Butcher is now acting as a stand-in agent until Murphy acquires new representation."
You mean when the car bombings start due to the number of muslims being flooded into our society? Or do you mean when we become a second world country because their idiocy undermined everything that made us strong?
I should make an hour and a half movie of surveillance video from Walgreens and Target showing why they're all shutting down, and why people are uncomfortable around certain groups. But I judge people individually, it's ignorant to assume everyone from a single group is the same.
I was telling a friend in America about a shop lifter being stopped before they could get out the door (Along the lines of "Hey I was just at Sainsbury's and they caught a shoplifter). They were detained and the cops called. My friend, living in California, was amazed, saying that shop staff and police are told not to intervene while certain people push out shopping trolleys of stolen goods.
You can only judge people individually if you know the individual. In reality, you dont know 99% of people you interact with, walk by or are in the close proximity of.
For example, if you want to decide where to move, do you spend years getting to know every single potential neighbour before making a decision, or do you just avoid bla... i mean "bad" neighbourhoods?
Some kid 6 years younger then me tried lecturing me about how me using the word f***t was ignorant, and I was ignoring problems in the world. Mind you, he's not dumb, but after talking for a while, I realized that he didn't have nearly as much general knowledge about history, geography, etc. Long story short is that I wanna know, if I get called ignorant for using a word within context and not as an insult, what does that make this show?
I've seen this too: preachy youngsters all over the place, whose knowledge of the world is often paper-thin. I hope I wasn't so self-righteous when I was their age!
@GhostofFHBradley I think we all were at one point. It's a part of growing up. Granted, he was 20, but honestly, even early 20 year-olds are practically just taller and/or older kids. All in all, he still is a fun co-worker.

Reminds me of the Buzzfeed or Buzzfeed adjacent video where a girl interviewed people about mansplaining, and was flabbergasted that almost all of them either were blissfully unaware of it, or didn't think it existed. There's even one moment where she reaffirms her conviction that it exists, but she just needed to persuade them.
I'm sorry Disparu I lost a bit of your review of reviews because I started to imagine a movie about the title of a commercial on one of the reviews. ''The 94 Year Old Grandma Out for Revenge Against Her Scammers'' sound like a pretty cool movie idea to me.
I totally noticed that as well and was trying to decide if that was a movie or an ad. That does sound like a fun movie! Kind of like "Stop or my Mom Will Shoot!" :D
It's also really sexist too. Like she doesn't get a say who she gets in a relationship with? She has to get with the black guy or she compromised in some way I guess
“Those who boggle at strong language are cowards, because it is real life which is shocking them, and weaklings like that are the very people who cause most harm to culture and character. They would like to see the nation grow up into a group of over-sensitive little people--masturbators of false culture...” ― Jaroslav Hašek, The Good Soldier Švejk
"Blazing Saddles", "Glory", "White Mans Burden", "Carbin Copy", "Guess Who's Coming To Dinner", "The Color Purple", hell even "Django In Chains" are movies reach the level of excellence you need to achieve to tell a story of black Americans on the big screen. Each of those movies cover a wide range of genres and time periods in the USA. Those movies had messages behind them. They dealt with topics. They were made by people of all backgrounds (white, black, Jewish, eccentric people). Now, the movies feel like half-baked student films. It feels like movies written by people who've only seen movies and never experienced much of life. They do not know how to entertain us... just preach to us.
It's like these woke movies try to do critical takes on a society (patriarchy) that doesn't really exist. They still imagine it's like the 1940s or something. Same with Barbie.
@@brandonspencer5594 As I can see that you've missed the point, maybe I can try to help you catch it. These people THINK they are treated WORSE than that today.

"Disliking my work proves that I'm right and you can't handle it" is the most common and most amateurish reaction to feedback. Most people grow out of it after their first bad grade in writing class.
You can get your blatantly bigoted project greenlighted by a Hollywood studio, but you can't force audiences to like it. Better luck next time, Koobi Loobi. That's his name, right? I'm sure it's pretty close.
Oh the trope was real, particularly in the 90's, The Legend of Bagger Vance and such, but hasn't been seen for a good while. Key and Peele did a hilarious battle of these magical characters as a skit and I'm positive whoever made this movie saw the skit and decided to turn it into a film without understanding it or that the humor was in the ridiculous, not lecturing, which the skit did not have.
Hi man, I love your videos usually. Sometimes I disagree but I think that is also the joy of finding other people who are ok with just keeping it real and not always thinking alike. Not asking you to change, but just wanted to say, I am a black person and what the movie was trying to address is a very true and deeply intertwined thing that has occurred in the states since slavery. In our community it has been a thing well before 2001. The thing is it is very nuanced and I agree with the reviews that if they were going to tackle it, it should have come harder. Like someone like Jordan Peele or Donald Glover could've nailed it I think. But todays climate is weird in the way that they address real things in the most antagonistic, lukewarm, beat-you-over-the-head, gen z-ist way possible and it really does just make every legitimate argument seem discredited. If you are interested though in the whole origin and ongoing effects of the "magical black negro" trope in real life though, I encourage any of you to just spend some time with/ask any of your black friends. They have or know someone who has experienced that stuff absolutely. However if you ask them and they don't share those stories, they don't feel you are a person they can talk to about stuff like that. I highly recommend everyone having a mix of everything in their friend group.

When people see kindness as a weakness, they typically respond in one of two ways.
One is to become as calloused as possible and be disgusted at any sort of act or call of or for kindess. They do not want the flaw to be present in themselves.

It amazes me how much racist black film directors are like the one who made this film and other racebaiting gaslighting films.
Why is it a surprise to you? Blαck people have been doing their best for many years to prove they’re extremely rαcist, so much so they ended up saying “being black means you can’t be rαcist” in an attempt to hide it.
Plus, white people are the only people you can be abundantly rαcist against and get applauded for it.

The answer is that race shouldn’t come with a reputation at all….being white doesn’t mean you’re racist, and being black doesn’t mean you’re a criminal. If you see it any other way you’re just dull

You have to keep in mind: These people never stir from their own community. Where they live out their frivolous little lives, bodies are commodities, depraved sex acts are a currency you exchange to get so much as a clerical job, and the Party of Slavery, Jim Crow, and the White Man's Burden is the dominant political party.
Frankly, it's been a very long time since most of them have had a normal human interaction. I frankly look at their accusations as self-snitchin'.
The Oscars are made by a small group of like-minded people that do not represent the audience or industry as a whole, and carefully select people to join their special club. There's a reason why Oscar Bait exists, you just need to meet their criteria.

Satire is one of the hardest genres to do. But this was made by a newbie director, who also wrote and produced it. And who also apparently doesn't have much of an actual sense of humor. It's no wonder it was a train wreck. I also note that he looks similar to the lead actor, Justice Smith- a case of self insert?
... Okay Matt Damon and Ben Afleck wrote and starred in Good Will Hunting as a means of starting their acting careers. They did a good job with it and it worked.
Hate was the key ingredient. Anything done with hate, will struggle to also be funny.
@@darrekworkman5595 Lots of new filmmakers have done a good job. Starting with one of the hardest genres (satire), though, is like taking Calculus but skipping the previous couple math levels. Plus Libii wrote, directed, and produced it himself- that's a lot to take on when you're not experienced. Damon and Affleck didn't do a satire, but a drama, and they picked one of the top indie directors to direct their script instead of trying to do everything themselves. And though not famous, they were experienced actors by then.
It's amusing that, at the same time, a movie similar in intent was released. "American Fiction" pokes fun at the New York publishing world in which a respected academic black professor who can't get his books sold angrily writes a parody of the types of books they want, and it becomes a best-seller.
Note that this is not a parody, but a documentary. I've talked to several black authors who want to write fun science-fiction, or young adult novels about horses, and were told in no uncertain terms that New York publishers don't want them to write those stories.
The irony of that is that a lot of publishers won't touch anything that's written by a white writer about white characters.
@@2012sonoraunless they're part of the alphabet community
Sarah Hoyt has talked about this sort of thing. She's a Portuguese immigrant, you see, and she writes (mostly) science fiction. The New York publishing houses were interested in offering her a book deal, if only she'd write about her 'life experiences' as an oppressed Latina. She was A) shocked to discover that she was apparently oppressed by society and B) kind of offended at the idea she was Latina.
Not to imply that there's anything wrong with being a Latina, only that Portugal had made it very clear they weren't Spanish (and never had been a Spanish colony) several centuries ago. She's since come to terms, begrudgingly, that for most Americans it's just below their global resolution. Iberian peninsula = Spanish = Latina.

You know as a white American I would love to live in the universe this movie is in. Where black people have to be nice to white people or we're the problem. Because in this day and age if you're not nice to black people who've committed a crime other black people will riot for a year and a half destroying multiple cities and killing over 30 people.

"Black people should muffle their personalities and desires in exchange for safety ..."
How exactly would that make them different from anyone else? As a white male professional, I can tell you for a fact that I muffle my personality REGULARLY to get along with the people around me, because that is the polite and sensible thing to do. I live with a filter that makes me not say the first thing that comes to mind and not discuss every topic I'm thinking about, because that might make me unpleasant to my co-workers ... and I don't want that because I like being employed.

So much for the promise we were told back in the nineties, that the internet would bring a new era of understanding, and diverse individuals would discuss their differences in an open forum and overcome their biases. People addicted to social media are even more Balkanized and isolated than they were before the internet existed.
What is genuinely sad about this is that 500+ young black men will see their lives ended at the hands of other black men in Chicago in 2024, same as 2023, 2022, 2021 and the ten years before that. Similar stories in several other major US cities; tragic that is not addressed for fear of being classified as -ist or having white savior complex. This movie compounds the erroneous opinion held by many that white people/police pose a threat to black people in the US today. The last 40 years have shown they are only a threat if you live in the middle east and (largely) white neocons have your country in their sights.
Fucking preach. Hollywood will never address the actual problems with black communities, just what is marketable and will sell. But fuck they can't even do that correctly
Small people with small minds and big egos are always a threat when they have power; there ARE corrupt cops. No government office is above corruption.

LOL yeah...although I do have to admit cracking a smile when I heard gangster rap singer Trina say "gerrymander this coochie"
Planted my flag in those ovaries
It's also really sexist too. Like she doesn't get a say who she gets in a relationship with? She has to get with the black guy or she compromised in some way I guess
“Those who boggle at strong language are cowards, because it is real life which is shocking them, and weaklings like that are the very people who cause most harm to culture and character. They would like to see the nation grow up into a group of over-sensitive little people--masturbators of false culture...”
― Jaroslav Hašek, The Good Soldier Švejk
Oh that's a good one, need to check out the book.
@@MrE03-f6d You'll love it, mate - it is hilarious! 😄🤙
HOLLYWOOD needs to be shut down for good!
Thanks!
It's not the racism that bothers me but the double standards.
Black man staring angrily at a cop will make any cop, black or white, nervous.
"Blazing Saddles", "Glory", "White Mans Burden", "Carbin Copy", "Guess Who's Coming To Dinner", "The Color Purple", hell even "Django In Chains" are movies reach the level of excellence you need to achieve to tell a story of black Americans on the big screen. Each of those movies cover a wide range of genres and time periods in the USA. Those movies had messages behind them. They dealt with topics. They were made by people of all backgrounds (white, black, Jewish, eccentric people).
Now, the movies feel like half-baked student films. It feels like movies written by people who've only seen movies and never experienced much of life. They do not know how to entertain us... just preach to us.
Another great video brother, Thx @Disparu.
It's like these woke movies try to do critical takes on a society (patriarchy) that doesn't really exist. They still imagine it's like the 1940s or something. Same with Barbie.
Not even. Even in 1940 they were treated better than they think they are treated today.
@@alchemystudiosink1894 mlk and Malcom x:yea please be quiet
@@brandonspencer5594 As I can see that you've missed the point, maybe I can try to help you catch it. These people THINK they are treated WORSE than that today.
I genuinely forgot this movie existed tbh. Probably for the best. 😬
Just imagine the utter bedlam this movie would of caused if the races were reversed.
@foureyeddragon9376: Yes, that would be...terrible :D
I thought it might be funny if they took the premise to its final absurdist length. I would have loved some animated musical song and dance numbers like Song of the South
God yes, the perfect ending. "Where is my massah?"
I think I'm gonna have a magical bowel movement.
"Disliking my work proves that I'm right and you can't handle it" is the most common and most amateurish reaction to feedback. Most people grow out of it after their first bad grade in writing class.
Wait, this is a movie, I thought it was some low budget streaming show
Thanks Hollywood for being a failure on how ppl really feel.
I think if people talk about whole groups of other people in a bad way there is a word for it, even in a comedy.
It's not surprising the movie backs away from it's own premise. The maker's lack the backbone to make something truly edgy.
You can get your blatantly bigoted project greenlighted by a Hollywood studio, but you can't force audiences to like it. Better luck next time, Koobi Loobi. That's his name, right? I'm sure it's pretty close.

They are claiming it is, "satire".
“I was joking” 👀
Oh the trope was real, particularly in the 90's, The Legend of Bagger Vance and such, but hasn't been seen for a good while. Key and Peele did a hilarious battle of these magical characters as a skit and I'm positive whoever made this movie saw the skit and decided to turn it into a film without understanding it or that the humor was in the ridiculous, not lecturing, which the skit did not have.
Hi man, I love your videos usually. Sometimes I disagree but I think that is also the joy of finding other people who are ok with just keeping it real and not always thinking alike. Not asking you to change, but just wanted to say, I am a black person and what the movie was trying to address is a very true and deeply intertwined thing that has occurred in the states since slavery. In our community it has been a thing well before 2001. The thing is it is very nuanced and I agree with the reviews that if they were going to tackle it, it should have come harder. Like someone like Jordan Peele or Donald Glover could've nailed it I think. But todays climate is weird in the way that they address real things in the most antagonistic, lukewarm, beat-you-over-the-head, gen z-ist way possible and it really does just make every legitimate argument seem discredited. If you are interested though in the whole origin and ongoing effects of the "magical black negro" trope in real life though, I encourage any of you to just spend some time with/ask any of your black friends. They have or know someone who has experienced that stuff absolutely. However if you ask them and they don't share those stories, they don't feel you are a person they can talk to about stuff like that. I highly recommend everyone having a mix of everything in their friend group.
I want to see American Fiction. Hopefully that’s less trash.
