So it's safe to say Jordan Peele is a one hit wonder right?

[RickyDiBiase]

Breh you see it too

Like I get it, black folks got it ROUGH, including this marsupial that identifies of such a powerful form of human being. Yet, its beating a dead fukking horse with every movie being a social experiment. How come we can't have movies on the level of Sleepless in Seattle? Why black folks can't go to space without being food to monsters? Why every flick has to be a struggle and some change. For the life of me, I wish we could go back to the days of "The Best Man". Movies where black people weren't a political scheme but normal human fukking beings.

Flicks like "Get Out", "The Help", and etc kills the vibe of what we stand for. I just want a black movie on the level of a Criterion release without some sort of gay, struggle, interracial, I need vindication and validation from another race because the directors look at black folks as a entire donkey to put the tail on, type of movies.

Nobody is forcing you to watch the movies at all. Try books.

Breh, I got a backlog of books I'm breezing through

 

[Thavoiceofthevoiceless]

Stop with the victim complex. The movie was ok for what it was. Like a lot of movies released during the summer.

You're proving my point without even realizing it.

Good

then stop whining about movies like a fukking child.

 

[O.Red]

Dudes be so ready to shyt on black directors, black movies and black actors....we dont see this type of hate for directors like damien chazelle, darren aronofsky or steven spielberg who been putting out bad work recently....its always a thread shytting on a black person trying to do their thing in hollywood...shyt is disgusting.

THIS IS NOT TRUE MAN

Nikkas been loudly saying Spielberg is for the past few years. I initially noticed it when Ready Player One didn't hit like people expected it to. I've seen plenty "Spielberg ain't got it anymore" discussions

The reason Peele is even in a position to be criticized like this is because Get Out was so good

This fear to criticize black art is the reason there's so much bullshyt out now

That's flat out nonsense and you know it is. People criticize black art all the time online, youtube hell even in other media (Boondocks, Atlanta, Stand Up Comedy) there's criticism and critique. The problem is you think all criticism is valid, and even if it is valid that it's worth the time consideration. The entertainment world is no different than the regular world, it moves on without you. Word to Tyler Perry.

lmao I did not know that opinions were whining. Hence why this entire entertainment industry is stuck on stupid because YOU A fukkING HATER AND COMPLAINING! LETS WATCH THE SAME shyt OVER AND OVER AGAIN YOU fukkING WHINER! GO BACK TO BEING A INDIVIDUAL WITH YOUR OPEN MINDED ASS"

My bad for wanting the industry to not treat black folks like problematic stereotypes and agenda posters. Maybe I want cinema to get better, but lol my bad breh. I'll read a book like a fukking child

Yeah look at you, actually just like a woman. Crying about fictional depictions on a screen. What type of man uses the word problematic.

Somebody that actually reads. But enough about me, how you doing dude? What are your interests?

 

[King_Kamala61]

What does that mean? I thought people like Tarantino's dialogue. Like a LOT, actually

Its not problem...just something I noticed more of.

I do like Peele's matter of fact dialogue too. Like in this last film, "non-electric camera." I was waitint to see him bring it back in dialogue and on screen resolution.

I agree with you that we’re hyper-critical of black creatives and black art in general. However, you’re capping on Chazelle. Dude hasn’t made a bad movie, yet.

 

[Asante]

Unforgivable how he did Candyman.

 

[Piff Perkins]

I always thought it was mid

it falls into the same trap most black film/tv of the current gen does.
Gets a pass because it attracts liberal white and blacks because it tells of a story of black victimhood

So you feel good watching it.

shyts getting old like slave movies.

Nah I disagree on this, even though I mentioned my complaints about the film. Get Out is an incredibly original film that was a smash hit in part because no one had seen something like that. My argument would be that nearly every "black film" that has come after it has been what you describe. A poor imitation, attempting to turn black trauma into a cinematic universe of oppression where white people are the monster. Which isn't at all what Get Out is. I'd compare it to the way Hollywood pumped out scores of Tarantino-esque rip offs after the success of Pulp Fiction.

To me we're in an era where two great black films - Get Out and Moonlight - have been used by hack black writers to create films that advance the black trauma "genre" while simultaneously appealing to white liberal guilts. Get Out wasn't appealing to those people, if anything it skewered them in a way I've never seen done in a major film ("I would have voted for Obama three times"). In short since then we've been getting films that shoot black actors (especially darker skinned black actors) incredibly beautifully, like Moonlight, while adding horror motifs from Get Out taken to an extreme, parody level. Which is how you get shyt like Lovecraft Country.

Is that the best insult you could come up with? Surely you can do better than that
