Pierre is frustrated. Pierre is pompous. Pierre is amoral. He proposes a primetime minstrel show, featuring black actors in black face bowing to the racist comedy acts of Amos n Andy and Step n Fetch It. Executives greenlight the project.
Viewers lap it up.
Pierre s sadistic creation, a minstrel show for the new millennium, is a ratings juggernaut. Only in America could such a twisted phenomenon be possible, Mr. Lee, and only an American would dare make a movie imagining it. She cringes as she scrounges up talent for the production. She complains while facilitating the minstrel show s development. Put a quarter in the man s outstretched hand, push a button and watch as he swallows the money.
