Why didn't they hire a black man to direct this?
The most racist movie since The Eternal Jew
How come?
@@sandmasterflex It postulates, that a whole 'race' of people in society is dangerous and damaging, and that they are recognisable on their skin color. This is not just the theme of the joke bits, which would be less extreme - Blazing Saddles was more than anything a Racial Comedy. It is in the whole structure of the film, so that you can not really get it, if you do not at least buy it's racist premise. This is terrifying and dangerous. I am happy to see, that most people who watch it don't.
@@Dantegrey1 Nicely said.
Idk about that. But it was missing some heart. It was to logic based and cynical. IMO it needed some sistas to punch it up in a few areas.
Looks like something I'd rather watch.
IMDb
5.6 The Eternal Јеԝ
2.8 Magical Nеgroes
Aren't people supposed to make movies to express something and entertain other people? why today making a movie means showing a political position in the most annoying way possible and that creates controversy and division.
i wish there was any amount of satire in this movie, unfortunately this is the doctrine they believe. no jokes at all.
Should have went full on satire. The name alone is so goofy that the movie should have been 100% over the top Goofy. But no it was too long and racist
The producer/director is not what he claims to be.
Everyone behind this movie or chose to partake in should be absolutely embarrassed
.... and never work again
He seems to have been bullied in school. Very BETA!
He actually said that's why he made the movie. Apparently it was written for mixed kids raised at white schools. Which is why it's such a joke to call it an explanation of the black experience. I haven't met a single black person who wants to go anywhere near this foolishness.😂😂😂😂
Based on the weekend box office results, you can tell he made this for an audience of one.
This writer/director should never work again.
I love that a B actor with no directing credits was given the reigns to a multi-million dollar movie and still cries racism. *Chefs Kiss*
Make u wonder why movies by other black directors arent given the samw budget when there making films outside of black trauma and racism
Racist movie
And he got a white wife too 🤦♂️
>.< The premise would have been better sold as Lovecraft Country 2.. but whatever. Writing is on the bottom side of public toilet seats these days.
Talcolm X directing this movie is hilarious I look more black then him and I'm Italian
LOL pulled only 3 weeks from theatrical release
LOL only 2.4m in revenue from a 15m production
LOL 20% rotten tomatoes
Oy vey. well. good luck !
I thought it was a black director???
What an attention seeker.
First
Thanks for posting ❤
It’s safe to say you shouldn’t direct movies anymore
Total failures
Just like when nobody seen “Bros”
Keep making these embarrassments
Why did they get a lightly colored black guy for the main role. Movie was white washed!
Second!
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
lol... what a bufoon
A total failure at the box office bwahahabhahahahahahaaaaaaaa 😂
At first i thought the film was actually about magical negros but after watching it, the only magic was that i made it through the film without vomiting in my popcorn.
You mean, after or before falling asleep ?
I saw it today, it’s a really good movie.
- Said no one ever.
How was the theater all to yourself
Sensational
It gave a White Spike Lee production feel sprinkled with South Park humor. I was the only black person in the theater. I always support David Allen.
sure you did. sure it was
Absolutely enjoyed this movie.
Lidl Kobi bro, you made a film that's SO BAD and SO TRASH that it bombed SO BADLY that you have to safeguard the film's budget 😂😂😂😂 I literally can't bro
WELCOME TO THE BUD LIGHT CLUB.....
