[QUOTE]Originally posted by Willing Thinker {What Box}: [QB] Maahes, also, please ignore my previous suggestion of Billy Bob Thornton as a possible actor, it's just that I thought it was funny that it was even suggested before( it was suggested by alTakruri on the Nile Valley Forum lol). By the way, you have some EXCELLENT morals and values. [QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti: Yes, I've heard! You never even hear about female actors of color over 40, unless it a 'black movie'![/QUOTE]Uhh... The Matri - Oh! Wait they had a lot of colored folks ... lol [QUOTE] [QUOTE][qb]Caucasian actresses pop up every year and garner covers and instant recognition fame. But great talents like Tantoo Cardinal and Cicely Tyson are overlooked all too often. Stacey Dash is another actor that know one seems to know what to do with as is Halle Berry. Halle can make mountains move because she is smart, dedicated and blessed with an almost supernatural beauty. But we can all readily appreciate how some of the projects she stars in don't really suit her. The reason? Very few of these scripts are specifically written for women of colour.[/qb][/QUOTE]So I guess this is where [i]you[/i] come in. How unfortunate there aren't many others in the 'biz' who are like you. [/QUOTE]^True. [QUOTE] One of the most obviously racist things about Hollywood movies that nobody but perhaps blacks want to address is [b]how come whenever a movie with a predominantly black cast is shown, it is viewed or even dismissed as a "black movie" as if it appeals to blacks only;[/b] yet practically all movies with predominantly white casts are viewed simply as movies for all?! It all stems from the usual racist view of racializing blacks and other people of color but not whites themselves, and yes the same is true with movies of predominantly Asian or hispanic casting. Perhaps the only movie I could think of that was an exception was 'Apocalypto', but notice how Mayan civilization was [URL=http://www.egyptsearch.com/forums/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=8;t=004522#000000]demonized and denigrated[/URL]! Face the long time fact: Hollywood is racist. YOU may not be, but it's going be a long while before people like you can change the whole industry. [/QUOTE]I have actually wondered this, and thought about this. Maybe it has to do with the whole 'this is Bill' and 'this is [i]black[/i] Bill' thing I have observed people here to absorb from the media... Americans in general. It's not a black thing, as [i]you[/i], a white girl, and I have asked why. It's more of a non-thinking thing... which is interesting when you think of the effects such could have on ones developing identity... All I know is I can't wait for this movie to come out! Especially reading the film-writers feelings in his own words.. [/QB][/QUOTE]
