To be a black film it needs to appeal to something unique to black ppl or deal with race or deal with issues urban/black ppl relate to.

but Guardians is a white film that was based on a law breaking gang of aliens saving a planet from being destroyed by a tyrant?

the stipulations you put on black films are insurmountable odds for black cinema to overcome to be successful in the eyes of naysayers like you and racist execs

I'm not naysayer.I want black films to do well,but the stats say they don't do numbers outside the country at the rate white films do.

your very conservative about what you consider a black film and very liberal about what you think a white film is...given your biased restrictions its impossible for black films to "do numbers"

IDK why you say that.

I'm the same in both

A white film is a film with mainly white actors

A black film is a film with mostly black actors dealing with something specific to black ppl

There are movies that have black ppl in them that don't have anything to do with the black experience.

If a black guy does country western music would you call what they do black music?

After really thinking on it,even though it's true most Black films don't do well intl,dude was being racist by saying that one of the few blacks who do pretty good Intl doesn't.

Denzel is proven that he can break the color barrier many times,so dude is on some bullshit.

I just wanna point out that if you go to the Youtube homepage right now the movie the interview is at the very very top of the page. In my mind this was all clearly a publicity stunt, and a pretty ingenious one at that
