Okay I’m sure this will get me killed around here but do we allow for context in flicks? It’s a movie about the 50s where they said colored and it was acceptable. So is it wrong to portray the era as it was? It’s a movie about the past not being as rosy as you think. So there’s racism, sexism, and biff does try to date rape Loraine like the shyt is cool.

As viewers we know how stupid the shyt is because we’ve already seen Goldie is mayor so clearly his white boss was ignorant and wrong. But that doesn’t mean that the behavior of ignorant people shouldn’t be shown because it’s real shyt.

If a movie is real about the past we’re mad but if they sugarcoat it we’re mad too. Can’t have it both ways
@Milk N Cookies he's right.

I prefer they make the movie about the most realistic narrative film than false bs shyt.
I know... I know guys... I know... it just still makes me snarl. Can’t ignore or erase history. It still just sucks.

Yeah I get that. But I’m not mad at Zemeckis or Gale or Spielberg for it. That’s how the shyt was and they’re being true to the era. They ain’t saying the shyt was cool. Even the scene that sparked this whole discussion, we’re saying that shyt didn’t happen in the 80s? We’re saying it doesn’t happen now?

Developers of all races don’t go into bad communities to try to scare black people out so they can gentrify? You live in Chicago so I’m sure you know all about that. I’ve seen it all around dc; people are trying to move my grandmother out of her house. That’s real shyt

We all felt the same way but we prefer they be honest about it. Cause I would feel more offended and angry if they lied about it.

You have the same people be mad about Quentin Tarantino or Martin Scorsese for using the N word in their films but they honest about it what white people think of us. The same way Spike Lee made the film about Do The Right Thing, etc.

Marty travels to an alternative 1985 and attempts to sneak into his own bedroom only to realize its now the home of a black family and his neighborhood is now what you would label a "bad one"

Wasn't a bad neighborhood when your cac ass family resided in it on Earth 1 was it tho'?

:mjpls:



What about how they "retconned" Marty inventing Rock and Roll? :mjpls:

:mjcry: A young black man couldn’t even have aspirations. A young Goldie dreamed to be mayor , who grew up to be mayor... y’all think Goldie met Obama when he was running for the first time in the Back to the Future universe??

I know they won't be remaking while Zemeckis is still alive, but if they ever do, I guarantee we'll get a scene where Marty meets a young Barry and is like "THAT'S RIGHT, HE'S GOING TO BE PRESIDENT!" and I'm sure someone will reply "A black President? That'll be the day. :russ:"
