So NOT excited!
So NOT excited about '12 Slaves' getting 9 Oscar nominations. Hollywood love vehicles dealing with racism, stereotypes and oppression, which is why they regard movies like 'The Help, 'Precious', 'The Butler' and '12' as superior stories. Don't you give into the madness. While movies like 'Best Man Holiday, 'Fruitvale Station', 'Love Jones' or'Jumping The Broom' aren't included in their conversation of quality movie making.
'Butler', 'Slave', 'Maid' 'Pimp','N*gger', 'Ho', 'Bitch' or 'Animal' have never been names that I answered to. Its time to take a stand for change. Ijs
Im with you. Makes perfect sense. They have never been interested in us when it mattered.
ReplyDeleteTotally agree, the have been some real good story lines in other types of movies that we never get a nod for... Not even comedies
ReplyDeleteI refused to even watch 12 yas, and I'm embarrassed that so many of us are celebrating this movie. Smh. That said, I haven't seen any real black dominated movies recently that have stellar writing and performances, but don't place us in some variation of a victim's role. Smh
