The Banker (12/6/19)

[mson]

I'm so tired of these kinds of movies. We get a few slavery, bipoics, and we shall overcome films every year. I prefer something fresh like Get Out or The Last Black Man in San Francisco. Let's get some new stories.

I'd rather see documentaries or read a book on stories like this because these movies follow the same Hollywood tropes or the story is so b*stardized it's borderline fiction. They'll throw a white savior or magical negro in there somewhere. Look at the Harriet Tubman movie where they threw in a white love interest, a black villain, and still crammed in some magic

I'm not looking to Hollywood to learn about history

You saw Harriet?

 

[Supa]

You saw Harriet?

Hell no

I don't watch slavery movies or biopics.

That shyt was trash and I'm from Oakland
as far as wanting new stories, I never heard about this one so it's new to me. I also doubt you heard about it.

 

[NobodyReally]

Hell no

I don't watch slavery movies or biopics.

Harriet Tubman was a badass.

 

[Supa]

Harriet Tubman was a badass.

In real life.

Was there a white love interest in this movie @King Harlem?

Hell no

What's your main issue with those type of flicks? Been there done that?

Was there a white love interest in this movie @King Harlem?

Lol, I don't know, but its a movie about the first Black Bankers in the United States buying up real estate in white neighborhoods and selling it to Black people in the 1950s.
I'm sure there's going to be some controversy to stop Black people from seeing it. From the previews, I'm guessing people are going to be mad at the White character played by Nicholas Hoult being some kinda White savior. We will see.
