Hail, Caesar! - for whiter than white whites (1 Viewer)

[Cornu Ammonis]

I think you meant of indeterminate age, of equal ability to everyone else, and African American.

I'm trying to imagine Nina Simone singing that but it's not working for me.

 

[Lili Marlene]

I get it. The fact remains though.

The fact remains that it's a conversation worth having. She's literally blacking up for this film. Sure they may as well have hired Jennifer Lawrence.

wait until the internet finds out that daniel day lewis and eddie redmayne are actually perfectly able-bodied

denzel washington dyed his hair red to play malcolm X. fucksake like.

 

[Lili Marlene]

Listen, why don't you lot tell all the African Americans who have an issue with this that you know better about race than them and they're making a big deal about nothing. I'm just pointing you towards the conversation.

Sure racism is over, right? We're all colourblind now.

Because it's open season on the cracker, john. That's why.

So is the film actually any good then? Because the contents of the past 4 pages of thread just hurt my brain - be more inclusive - point made, if it works for your art do it!

P.S - P.O.C is the most ridiculous term ever, whoever started pushing that term hard literally circled back into referring to Black people as "coloured" and somehow got away with it and fooled everyone.

I loved it, @tim . Very funny, great cast, chock full of memorable Coen brothers moments. I left the cinema with a grin on my face.

Good move. You are wise beyond your years.

Go see it, Tim. If you’re a fan of the Coens you won’t be disappointed.

 

[Lili Marlene]

I'm hoping to see it tonight.

Will attempt to write the most infuriating review of it for everyone in here.

Jesus I can't even remember what their last film was. Didn't like the cowboy remake one anyway. I am a fan of theirs though.

It was Inside Llewyn Davis. I quite liked True Grit. This is better than both of them. It reminded me most of Barton Fink and A Serious Man.

Barton Fink is GREAT!
Just remember it was Llewyn Davis just as you posted. I need to see that one again - I basically need to see all their introspective films again - The Man Who Wasn't There, A Serious Man, Inside Llewyn Davis Man!

Yeah, Baron Fink is great, but for me A Serious Man is up there with Fargo and No Country For Old Men. They'd probably be my top 3 with Miller's Crossing and Barton Fink making up the top 5.
