Brad & Angelina to do the Cannes Cannes

My major objection is that you NEVER hear of a talented Black or Latino/a actor/actress that plays the role of a real life White person. I mean, I personally would love to see Will Smith (in whiteface, of course) playing George W. Bush in a movie, or Gabrielle Union in whiteface playing Hillary Clinton, but you just don’t see that. So why is it really “ok” to allow a white actress to (so freakin’ poorly too - she looks nothing like Marianne Pearl) play a person of color??????

It looks like modern day black face, to me. What did they do, put white make-up on Halle. I think not!

jolie has NO Black DNA!

dragonfly, ARE YOU BLACK?

See what happens when you give time to nobody.

thanks for the history lesson konnitiwa err dragonfly errr Cliniquia! Only a black woman would understand where i coming from.

Oh please let’s not start the same bullshit arguments that we have discussed already when the first stills of AMH with Angie appeared on the internet. We have discussed all of it. Their problem is that Brad and Angie will shine with all their glory at Cannes while their idol will take her dogs for a walk.

And just to set the record straight once and for all:

A Brad Article from 2004 promoting Troy

Quote:

IFQ: Jennifer Anniston and you are producing a movie about Daniel Pearl. Will you act in it, as well?

BP: Yes, we’re developing Mariane Pearl’s book A Mighty Heart. We won’t be in it we’re just developing it as a script. It’s a story that I’m very much drawn to. As you read the book what you see is this horrible scenario and they’re trying to trace his steps and save Daniel. They form in this house, this little microcosm of world peace in a way, all working to save someone, to help someone. You have a Pakistani, you have an Indian, Persian, and American, on and on it goes and that little microcosm is what really sets a great example for me.

She was never going to star in this movie. NEVER!!! She was just in Plan B when Brad was developing the project but as soon as her ass got out of the complany she has absolutely nothing to do with it.

Get than in your tiny brains..

I think that A Mighty Heart will be a success because it is a history on tragities that still they happen today and also will appeal to the women.

Popped back in to see who might be about, and konnitiwa, I have to say your post #108 was great! And yes, you and think positive! are right, people jump here without knowing any backstory or actually reading the thread at all and want to give their oh-so informed opinions…..gmafb!

Thanks for re-posting Brad’s own words that neither he or JA ever planned on being in AMH.

I really can’t wait to see this movie. I haven’t read the book, but the story is certainly pertinent to our owrld today. Angie has bee described as being “fearless” in front of the camera, and from what she said in the EW article, about having to close the door on Winterbottom’s camera to cry by herself tells me she really tapped into a deep emotional well when filming this. I am expecting to blown away. I can’t wait to see it, even though it is a very painful story with a sad ending.

Well Angie is pretty but everytime I look at her I see a woman who admits to loving girls, calling her baby a “blob” and making Brad Pitt look 10 years older! Interesting person…no?

Hmmmmm, let’s see, then that makes you a homophobe, functionally illiterate, and badly in need of glasses, all in that order. Sounds like YOU are the one with problems.

Angie remains interesting and engaging.

LMAO!!!!

“We didn’t want it to be too melodramatic or too polished.” What a convenient excuse when that’s the way it turned out but not by intent. The British crews had trouble working with the Indian crews and the whole production was short on time because of a lot of red tape. Of course it wasn’t polished. And I suspect that the acting might not have been as good as hoped either. (Just because acting is polished and perfected does not mean it is melodramatic.)
