racism and Iron Man

Rating: Null/10 (22 October 2011)

As someone who follows American cinema closely, I followed "Iron Man's" marginalized cinema - - how the production apparatus inevitably imbibed the film's own narrative's formula of "using and disposing" stuff. I don't care HOW PRECIOUS Terence Howard was in the negotiating process for the negotiation of Iron Man II. The P.R. debacle of firing a black man and replacing him with another black man (even if that man was/is the most amazing Don Cheadle), was horrific. Such an exchange emerged as an egregious act of exchanging one "black commodity" for another "black commodity." And, I plan to write on the 'white boy' mentality, at end, of this director/writer. Shame on you --- * DS
