I wouldnt go that far. There are some great Chinese films, even if you have to take their political content with a grain of salt.

Agreed, though I would have nominated him over Kenneth Lonergan.

While I don't entirely disagree with you the hypocrisy, what Mel did was a bit more than a drunken rant. He also beat the shit out of his ex and told her that she should be raped by a "pack of n*ggers".

My main problem was that every single X-Men movie until First Class turned into The Wolverine Show, mainly because Jackman and Halle Berry were the big names in the cast, to the detriment of the other characters.

I'm not even American. In the face of your utterly remoreless logic I must concede my unconditional surrender in this debate.

Sorry, but I'll take the word of one of the writers of the actual film over your smug condescension.

That was me. Thanks.

The movie has an 8.3 ranking on IMDB and I've seen it ranked among the best crime films of all time by serious publications like The Guardian. I think it's definitely more beloved than it deserves to be.

It gets treated seriously like it's a masterpiece of the crime genre when it really is an overblown cartoon.

No, it's an awful film. I like Brian DePalma as a director, but his version of Scarface basically the 80s equivalent of modern day Hollywood remakes that everyone complains about. Where the love for it comes I will never understand.

"The point of the Dr Strange character isn't that he/she is Asian/Tibetan/Chinese. Literally all the character has to be is an ancient tutor archetype. They could have been an old crone in a German forest for all the difference that makes."

" Other POCs hello. Asia is huge. India and Pakistan are in Asia. It doesn't have to be someone from China."

The I get the point that The Ancient One in Dr Strange was a racist stereotype, but it honestly comes across to me as very weak excuse. I somehow doubt that they'd refuse to cast a black actor as Black Panther because he might be seen as 'a stereotypical African warlord' or something. All you have to do is cast an…

Also his attempt to play a samurai in 47 Rounin was pretty amusing.

Even beyond slavery, your ignorance of the role of Chinese laborers in the US's industrialization is noted.

Oh yes. Don't get me wrong I accept your point about whitewashing in Hollywood films.

Ghandi was played by an actor of Zanzibar Indian descent to be fair.

The definition in CRT is with respect to who holds power, not majority status. South Africa is obviously the best example of a minority oppressing a majority along ethnic/racial lines. or pre-independence Rwanda and the Kingdom of Yugoslavia.

" Nor should anyone. But you also shouldn't employ people based on their color of skin (whether Black,Caucasian,Asian…etc.), forced diversity isn't the answer."

Well, most Japanese really don't care that much and just assumed that a white actor would be cast in America (plus she does look like the character). It's less of a problem for Japanese people, and more of a problem for Japanese-Americans. Japan has a strong independent film culture that regularly produces quality…
