Hollywood Whitewashing: Last Week Tonight, Feb2016

gorillaman says...

Well, at the risk of stating the blindingly obvious, there are more white people in america than other colours.

Would we really care if a bollywood joan of arc or hamlet was played by an indian actor?

Whenever this sort of thing comes up, I'm always reminded of the vital question of Columbo's right eye. Does Columbo have a glass eye, or is Peter Falk's glass eye playing the role of a real eye?

Which would be fine if it wasn't so one-sided, or (in lots of cases) just fucking terrible.

I mean, Mickey Rooney in Breakfast at Tiffanys? Even if that a horrible caricature, it would still be just horrible.

Funnily enough, The Last Samurai is probably the least offensive on the list since it's primarily a story ABOUT an outsider learning a new culture (the idea that he would equal one of them with a sword is laughable, but that's a standard narrative trope anyway).

Old What?? Is this NSFW? You decide...

Nicole Faires is the wife and she's authored a few books which I must say all look intriguing. I'm going through these videos now and they're just really awesome, what a great way to live.

I thought his Robin Williams and Peter Falk were the best. Some were ok. Some were... off. Seems to all be in one take, which makes even the average ones more impressive. The Jackie Chan was horrendous, though.

RIP Peter Falk AKA "Columbo", 1927-2011
