How is this so different from Shawn Wayans and Marlon Wayans plaing a couple of white chicks......

#3

they played black men TRYING to act like white chicks.

in a comedy that was silly.

she is playing a real life woman who is black, in a TRUE STORY, and there is no reason or means by which this role should be handed to her when many black actresses would far more than qualify for the part than a white chick in black face; even if she is a white chick who can really act.

I think Angelina is a great actress, and no doubt she will do good a portrayal, but PLEASE!!! does this have any cooincidence with her donation of 100,000 dollars to the foundation formed after this woman's husband was killed.

why don't they just say it. "Angelina Jolie pays 100,000 in donations to play widow of famed journalist killed in middle east, for the controversy, recognition, and noblility of his widow."

i just want to see some new faces in hollywood...

Don't start taking me seriously now, raum, it was sarcasm. My point was that selecting a white chick for this role is both laughable and needless when there are plenty of talented black actresses available.

In other words...I happen to agree with you on ALL points made above. Hell, if you aren't going to give us a new face, at least give us an oscar winning black actress (Halle Berry) in the role.

Thandie Newton looks so much like this woman, and she can drop her accent in a minute...
and she is a great dramatic actress. ever seen Crash?

#6

Loved her in crash (hard not to love anyone in that film...) and you are right... she would play this role well....

#7

This is pretty stupid to have her play a black women. The movie loses credibility with me if they aren't even willing to cast the characters right

#8

I agree, tt...

I mean, I have an issue when these types of things are done, even when the characters are not black...I have been following another story, in which Monica Bellucci is supposed to be playing Ghandi's wife in a move I believe...

But, I think at least his wife was maybe Italian born, even if she didn't look like it...I'll have to refresh my memory, lol...

I agree.

Also, Angelina has never really appealed to me. I know she's got those pouty lips, but she's like an overdone BratZ doll....

Why can't they get Halle Berry? She's got the right complexion, the talent, AND she's smokin' hot!
