I saw this movie a few days ago.
... (I wont spoil it for the people who have not yet seen it!)
Basically the movie is rated 12A
There are two transformers in the movie, who are used to represent the only 'black people' in the WHOLE film, with the exception of Tyrese Gibson.
The two 'black' transformers were kitted out in an afro, gold teeth, chains, rings (basically the wrong stereotype of the average black person).
i wasn't too offended by this and thought it was funny until of course they began swearing profanities at each other (which again was used to portray the black community) ...
..saying: 'you Pus*y etc) and bear in mind this is a 12 movie.
It did bother me but i was able to see the funny side of it
Now, the real shocker in my eyes was when another robot transformer made a comment to the 'black transformers' hair saying: 'who do you think you are, talking to me like that with your PUBIC fro'
This upset me so much. Esp since the fact that i paid to watch a movie and just be insulted like that. It is disrespecting me, my entire family and generations of black people
How do i go about complaining about this?
And no, i dont think i am over reacting.
Madhead
it is not the face that these transformers where made to be black people .. like i said ( i say the funny side of it)
the part i was really offended by was the comment that black peoples hair resembles that of PUBIC HAIRS!!
That is what offended me!!!
OK you people need to learn to read questions before you post your answers!!
i didnt say anything about a film being rasict due to lack of black poeople, i said they were the only black representatives and they used them to portray black people in a rubbish way
Jules....
its the fact that they were representative of the black race.
the texture of black peoples hair is soft and fluffy .. so when it is combed it naturally puffs out into a fro.
therefore, any reference to a fro, is directed at anyone who has this hair type, i.e: black people, i.e: me
