Sorry to Bother You Trailer (Lakeith Stanfield From Atlanta, and Tessa Thompson)

[GoldenGlove]

Not pleased about the movie. Thought the first hour was dope. Then it lost direction.

Spoiler: Spoiler

How flippant they were with race didn't sit well with me. There was no payoff for the freestyle scene, so it should not have been in the movie at all. The racial aspect of the movie disappeared after that scene. I agree with others who mentioned that the movie turning into a labor propaganda piece.

The freestyle scene was further driving home the point that Cassius' was letting his corporate success change his morality and the shyt he stood for. He was trying to impress that crowd by all means possible which was completely a 180 from where his character started in the film. Another scene that hit on this was where they showed him coming up from the shytty car and living in the garage, then getting the Masarati and the new place... he wakes up and starts talking to his girl with his white voice on without even realizing it.

It was pretty straight forward what the movie was displaying about the dude. He was getting money and losing himself and forgetting where he came from.

This was this year's Get Out.

Awesome movie

For several reasons of course, but I immediately saw parallels between when the "grand scheme" was explained to Cash in this movie, and when the scheme in Get Out was explained to Chris.

I wish ”N!gga N!gga N!gga” wasn’t the example of him selling out if race was no longer going to be addressed as a major factor in the movie. It was cheap and lacked the nuance of the first hour of the movie.

Incredible film

Right after that is when he gets the offer. Dude saw he was willing to sell out on an alarming level and right after that gets an offer to sell out on a scale unimaginable. He is BROKEN after that and only then does Omari Hardwick talk to him in his real voice to send him to the offer. He sells out his race for Lift for nothing other than the promise of some social currency. It's that that lets Lift believe he's the right person to sell out another race.

I felt like that scene also served as a shot at the mindstate of plenty of rappers in the music industry right now. Reminded me of when I saw the clips Bobby Schmurda and Blac Youngsta performing at their record label offices







That's why I didn't feel like it was off base or cheap, because nikkas really be out here doing "nikka shyt" like that

DUDe saw casisus was willing to sell out his race, then he had Omari reel him in with talking to him in husband non white voice to see if he’d be willing to sell out the lower & middle class...

I can’t even look at a horse the same anymore

Isn’t this the EXACT reason Paperboi wasn’t trying to hear that when they tried to get him to perform at the YouTube like place?

 

[blankstairz]

It was a solid movie.

A little weird at the end.


Tessa all throughout the movie.


Her earrings.

 

[MrWestGrand]

Movie was great comedic satire, and touched on a lot of issues. Showing the side of Oakland that gentrification has disenfranchised was

Just came from seeing this movie, it was great

I wonder if Tessas white voice meant that she cared about the art performance more than the message

She was hustling just like Cash was.

 

[Rollie Forbes]

She was hustling just like Cash was.

When she was taking cell phones to the face, though.

You gotta do what you gotta do, breh.

Everybody was struggling to make it,breh. Cash's uncle too.

That was the essence of the movie.

Decisions.

How far are you willing to go to make it. From Cash to Steve Lift.

I really think that a lot of people missed this point. The theme of the movie was capitalism vs morality.
