The Race Card: it’s the new Joker.
I will not take orders from anyone - not from Bush, and not from the usurper. Even if Governor Palin takes office, I will not take orders from her. It's not a race thing, it's about freedom - the president works for me, not the reverse. Also, it is not the president's place to teach me a lesson. It's his (and hopefully soon her) place to faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States and to the best of his ability to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.
From what I've read, Smith made the movie specifically as a vehicle to introduce his teenaged son, who can't act.
From the descriptions of the movie, it sounds like Will Smith became a soul-less automaton - not loving or caring about the child. And losing the subtle humor that made him popular.
And the movie bombed in part because it is a Scientology lesson wrapped in a boring two hour movie.
“Some Euro friends were very surprised to learn that blacks are only about 13% of the general population in the US. They thought it was 50/50 just from watching American TV and enterttainment...”
I’ve had family from over there say the same thing...bizarro world!
“Most people fervently desire to see any men acting like responsible men, especially black men. Why do you think the Cosby show was so popular during the 80s/90s? One of the reasons that Obama was elected was precisely because many people, especially liberals, wanted this affirmation/image of a responsible family man who happens to be black, that they voted in somebody with no qualifications and a questionable background to achieve it.”
So true...
“From what I’ve read, Smith made the movie specifically as a vehicle to introduce his teenaged son, who can’t act.”
Racist!/s
The Wall Street Journal crushed the movie, basically saying it sucks.
The space ship has crashed and only two survive. The scenes between the father and son to me did seem a little long and protracted. The incredible horror of the vicious wild life that proliferated on our beautiful earth was repeated very often. One has seen scenes like this many, many times on horror movies. The mountain lions and orangutans with some sort of creepy crawly abomination of a prehistoric beast were technically very well done. Of course, they were after a 14 year old lad, who had to beat his way through sixty miles through a now primordial forest. He had to get a special device that would signal to the planet occupied by humans. They would rescue father and son from our once beautiful earth. The forest scenes were very good here. Nature rules.
Somehow when I chance see old films of Sydney Portier and Harry Belafonte, I turn off the T/V. These men are racialists and some might say racists. I cannot object to Will Smith, but perhaps I am missing something. My main criticism of this 1 hour 43 minute film is that the scenes seemed far too long in the interaction between father and son.
Nothing wrong with enjoying a movie for the pure enjoyment of it. I liked Dances with smurfs for the beauty of it despite the idiocy of the premise it pushed. I’m a big boy and won’t be converted to a liberal by a movie.
As far as Smith is concerned I’ve seen some interviews lately and he obviously loves his son but may be trying a bit too hard to push the boy to stardom.
delusional
Crap is Brown. I don’t like crap. Thus I’m a racist.
