LOL, they actually do that in a lot of television shows and movies that nobody really watched, for whatever reason.

It better show just how vile and ugly white people were towards this man, and not just some simple "Hey ******" shyt either. They always try to pretty it up in movies and make it seem like it wasn't that bad.

Agree 100%. There's a sort of whitewashing(excuse the pun) of history going on in hollywood to make it appear that most white people at the time weren't overt with their racism at the time. They'll probably throw in like one over the top KKK type racist so that white people can pretend that that is "real" racism and that people back then were generally alright or towards black folk and didn't see them as second class citizens.

Also judging from the trailer, it looks like they might try to give more screentime to the white actors than the black actors in the film. Its part of the game in hollywood though and the reason why a Marvel black panther film or a Toussant Louverture or Marcus Garvey Biopic won't be made. The fact is that white people need to see white heroes in movies or else they won't be interested in seeing them. I don't want the idea being portrayed that Robinson was given things rather than having to struggle and fight for what he got.

Spike Lee can make a good biopic

Ali was wack and will not be surprised if this turns out wack also.

 

[Tom]

that actor sure does not have Jackie's uncle tom accent down tho...


they got him sounding like Nas n shyt....


The real Jackie Robinson's voice made Obama sound like a goon


and why play Jay Z music for a movie that takes place during the 50s tho, don't matter if its just a trailer, that shyt fukked it up for me

Ali was wack and will not be surprised if this turns out wack also.

There's no connection between those 2 movies other than the fact that they were both about famous black men.

Written and Directed by the same guy who wrote and directed the following...

Payback- Not terrible, but nothing I'd recommend
A Knight's Tale- Movie was good, surprised me though, I thought it would be wack
The Order- BUSHES

...Do black directors & writers still exist?

 

[Danie84]

Didn't know they were makin a movie on the late great Mr. Robinson.

It looks beautiful.

 

[feelosofer]

I'm afraid this movie is going to be more about the whites trying to get this guy to play in the Big League, than Jackie, himself, but I hope I'm wrong. Lol Spike Lee is too real to do a movie like this, shyt would too intense. White people would be like
