Daniel Kaluuya's accent in this Fred Hampton movie bothers me...

[old boy]

He's a fukking actor

Buddy from snowfall is not from the USA but he plays a 80s drug dealer.

Get the fukk over it and support the movie.

bad faith preemptive shaming. the topic was not his lineage but his accent. why is it wrong all of a sudden to cite a bad accent from an actor in a flick?

and what is this blind "support the movie" nonsense like it's above criticism or beyond reproach, nikka why?

Calm down, nikka. We have the right to disagree and form our own opinions.


@neotheflyingone , This breh is madder than a mug, isn’t he?

You said it not me OP

Not saying I wasn’t thinking it and may agree

But you said it OP

Either way movie finna be

Exactly. How many of us felt this way? I'm not the only one thinking it. I'm just the one who made the thread



and tbh, I waited like 3 weeks to make this thread cause I been feeling like this for a min. It took me seeing an extended preview today that had me like

now wait a minute. I've had enough of this

fukk it...I've tried to reply to the same post 3 times.

The reason Daniel was casted besides his skill is obviously his box office draw. What other young black actor could have done it? I’m sure people like David Washington was in contention but honestly I’m not mad at the casting.

I don't care about him having the role. Literally the only thing I said is that his accent is off

This board does the same glitchy shyt to me too sometimes. You gotta restart your phone.

HDude from Snowfall sounds good (after season 1)...but WC helped him.

Another bad actor. He was terrible in that new Netflix movie with Antony Mackie.

Typically black actors gotta be way better than their white counterparts to get put on. I wonder why it seems like these wack British nikkas keep getting put on without not really being that talented?

 

[Professor Emeritus]

Shut the fukk up.

Shoulda got someone else,At the very least someone who looks like him, preferably someone of African American descent that can atleast relate to the role and dosent have to take 100 voice acting classes just to still come up short.


This the equivalent of Marlon Wayans putting on a fake Jamaican accent and playing Garvey.
Its disrespectful and lazy.
Wouldn't expect a goofy like you to understand this tho.

Except a Nigerian Brit is gonna play Marley in the upcoming biopic.

Like someone pointed out, it ain't like American actors have that 1960s Chicago accent either, ALL actors use a fake accent for their roles. That's why is "acting", it's always fake.

Did anyone have this energy when Forrest Whitaker played Idi Amin or when Daniel Day-Lewis played Abraham Lincoln? When Denzel Washington played a British soldier or, hell, when Sidney Poitier started in multiple major CRM roles including as a young black man from Chicago?

No, #NotmyFredHampton

Daniel was too tired to talk about race, that's why his performance is ass.

That movie is trash and will likely flop

Yeah, anyone who posts something and then sees "Swagnificent and CHICAGO dapped this" really need to question themselves.

Swag says it's okay for White women to say n----- but thinks it disrespectful for Black British actors to play Americans.

 

[Ugo Ogugwa]

Dude literally sounds like a black brit trying to sound like an american black man. The accent is fake as hell

He sounds like Robert Downey Jr in Tropic Thunder

You in yo bytchy mood

I'm not supporting him at all. I'm not gonna watch a film with a guy in the main role who said he's tired of talking about race and proceeds to accept a role that's about race.

I don't get why they recruited an African with a heavy British accent to play an African American revolutionary

Almost disrespectful

It's completely disrespectful to me. I love how people (not you) are telling us to shut up and support. I don't have to support Daniel Kaluuya in ish. He's not that good of an actor if he can't even capture even a smidgen of the person's essence that he's supposed to be portraying.

Box office draw???
Who tryna see this nikka??

Women don't think he cute, nor is anyone going to see his movie because he has charisma. This nikka is the chicken noodle soup of actors, not great but not bad.
