I'll be honest, this really does feel like the media and/or studio is trying really hard to push this as some sort of black "breakthrough" movie, or whatever, and it just seems like they're trying way too hard. That Kendrick Lamar tweet about the album, Octavia Spencer renting out a whole theater, that kind of thing.
It almost feels like they want to replicate or capitalize on what Get Out did last year, except that happened organically, and this feels manufactured.
I don't know, it just feels a bit cheap to me. I realize I'll get blasted for saying it, but that's kind of where I am right now.
it's not get out they are trying to replicate at least not entirely. It's wonder woman
Get Out was also very specifically about race and tackled it in an incredibly novel and shocking way.
I think you have some people who are just excited for this film because it is a breakthrough in terms of the hero and cast for a film of this scale. Other folks are going to want to turn it into a bigger political statement, which is their prerogative.
If nothing else I hope it starts to make the point that the general film audience doesn't care about race so much as they do really good movies. And this one is looking awesome.
