don't lay that patronizing game on me.

not misdirected passion... one of the worst things about this movie is that it aroused NO passion in me. which i thought was odd, because even the worst movies make me feel SOMETHING... even if it's revulsion.

i'm just puzzled that people can be so... (i don't want to use the word "ignorant," because of its negative and judgmental connotations, but i can't think of another word) about history. this film copies down some of the classic white man/tragic mulatress stereotypes of many old Dorothy Dandridge films (which Halle is SO sad Dorothy had to endure).

but i ain't mad at nobody for liking it. after all, i love the film Belly though just about everybody in the world hates it, and even i have to admit that it is rife with incompetence. but it appeals to me on certain levels and you can't change that, so i won't tell you to hate Monsters Ball.

right. "you people". you and her. you agree with her, right?

"you people"

i don't think you're listening (reading)... i'd rather point you to angel22's or janey's posts, because i'll be the first to admit that my responses on this topic have not been my most coherent because i really didn't like this movie and can hardly even muster the energy to write about it coherently... but i still think i have some valid points in my loose critique if you care to look past your own love for the movie.

yeah. i think Damali is a jerk to claim that i'm making stuff up to support my argument. and if you agree with her on that, i think you're a jerk, too.

disagree with me all you like, but please don't defame my character.

>think

YOU think. all i hear from YOU is passion.
