Johnny C:
except demolition man, that owned

Eh... she didn't write it.
Also isn't it based on actual events? So I don't really see how it's racist.
And if it were, again, why is that being held against Bullock?
Dimmukane:
Yeah, being from Baltimore, all the papers had articles about that. It's about I think the Left Tackle on the Ravens? Fuck if I know. I just didn't care about that movie at all because it seemed like blatant pandering, which it turned out to be.

--- Quote from: wikipedia ---Claims of racism
The film has been subject to claims of supporting racism. Mark Blankenship of The Huffington Post wrote of the trailer, "[It] begs us to feel sorry for black people and feel grateful that there are white people in the world who can take [care] of them."[20]
Melissa Anderson of the Dallas Observer said the film "peddles the most insidious kind of racism, one in which whiteys are virtuous saviors, coming to the rescue of blacks who become superfluous in narratives that are supposed to be about them... The filmmakers would like to lull you to sleep with this milk of amnesia, hiding behind the fact that this bewilderingly condescending movie is based on an actual person—but one who you end up knowing almost nothing about."[21]

Would they be completely fine with the movie if Oher was white?
