#1 BOX OFFICE

DUDE WTF THEY MADE A MOVIE ABOUT HOW SOME OF PEOPLE THAT WORKED ON THE MOON MISSIONS WEREN'T WHITE WTF FUCKING KIKE RUN HOLLYWOOD HOW DARE THEY MAKE A FILM THAT MAKES ME FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE

Lad, chill. It's a movie about some people involved in the US space program.

What is fun about minorities is that they don't care about this stuff until some Jew makes a movie signalling 1 or 2 minorities involved with whatever they previously did not care about.

WE WUZ ASTRONOTS N' SHIIIEEEET

So true.

It turns out that people don't really care about stuff they don't know about. Once they know about it, or at least receive some incentive to learn about it, they care about that. Funny how that works, huh? I'm pretty sure that a good number of even those that have a recreational interest in the history of NASA and the American space program might not have known about the individuals around which the film is based, let alone the general public. As such, after being made aware, people begin to care.

that's some nice mental gymnastics, fagtron. fact is that if you care about something, like the accomplishments of blacks, you would know about this. it's not an obscured fact.

that's like saying you can't have interest in sex before you watch porn, fucking moron.

How long until movie about black mathematician David Blackwell?

being a black male isn't trendy enough anymore. you have to at least be a black female or gay black male. get with the times, gramps.

>that's like saying you can't have interest in sex before you watch porn, fucking moron.

thats a fucking retarded analogy. neck yourself pham.

that's exactly what he's saying, dipshit. that somehow some retarded hollywood drivel was needed to get people interested in black's contribution to NASA. mind you, that the primary people this targets is the WE WUZ KANGZ crowd that should already know this.

This poster is retarded. how the fuck can you care about something you don't know happened? It's just a movie to spread awareness about a little known fact. Only on this /pol/ infested site could such a harmless movie be an issue.

You really are a special type of retarded, aren't you? You don't instantly know everything about any given topic when you take interest in it, and you still won't know everything about it after studying it for years. Also, you fail to understand that this film is not made for only the people interested in rockets and space, but for the general public. Therefore, it is much more understandable that they would not necessarily care about the subject matter of the story, because they weren't really interested in the topic from the getgo.

Skin color is irrelevant so what's the problem with depicting black people's success against all odds?
I always cringe when I see someone complain about historic "misrepresentation" in movies. They complain about things like black people being in medieval europe when it's historical fact, while completely ignoring the use of modern language.
I wish someone would make a cure for that sickness as education alone clearly isn't working.

When a white actor plays a black role, it's "whitewashing". When a black actor plays a white role, it's "diversity".

You could argue that's a societal double standard, but that's not what's happening here. Last time I checked, the people it's about were actually real, authentic African Americans.

I know what you mean, but they more or less have to use modern language so that we can consume the media.

>When a black actor plays a white role, it's "diversity".
I was going ask how often that happens, but then I remembered that you probably think of anything that requires literacy to be a 'white role'.

>that's like saying you can't have interest in sex before you watch porn, fucking moron.

No it isn't. The interest in, and desire to have, sex arises from an innate biological predisposition, not because you were put into a position of knowledge with which to form an opinion from.

I'm sure a lot more people would have been 'interested' in the viability of Hillary Clinton candidacy had they popped an anvil-strength erection every time she told a lie or deleted a swath of emails from a private server.

Do you Americans not realize that these kind of films are EXACTLY what your shitty country needs?
You've had affirmative action for decades now and your niggers are still largely uneducated and poor. Do you know why? Because DeShawn and Tanisha idolize, not great scientists and artists, but the rapping thugs they see on TV and hear everywhere.
Even if the movie overemphasizes the role of these women in NASA, it's still a positive for your society. Your black people need to realize that there are greater things in life to aspire to than fried chicken and having sex with women with oversized asses.

>american space program is pretty much due to nazi scientists and white male americans
>make a movie how black females had a significant role in it
I know america is pretty good at historical revisionism, but really?

I kekked

lol

Actually the nogs simply use media like this as a justification for their current shortcomings.
>AYO WE WUZ KANGZ N SHIET WHITEY, DAS WHY WE MURDA YOU NIGGA... DA GOOD OLD WHITE DAYS IS OVER

They're a failed race lashing out and ensuring we all share in their misery.

* ,as a Latinx, *

The women involved weren't actually black though.

wow ice cube really stepped his acting game up

Does the movie touch at all in the fact that the primaey reason women, black women especially, were hired as calculators, and no higher position, was because they were significantly cheaper than men? It seems like an important exploitative aspect to recognize, but it seems to go against the movie's glorifying narrative mode.

This is the woman IRL:

Tell me how there isn't some very noticeable degree of "blackwashing" in the film.

Is it any good?

I wouldn't watch anything on that list except Rogue One. But that's just for nostalgia.

>thinly veiled race bait thread

Nice, just what I wanted to read today.
