This movie seemed like it had the potential to be a good satire

Michael Harriot's version of this movie would be funnier and more realistic, especially if it starred Umar Johnson.

I haven’t seen the movie, but I suspect its most redeeming quality is that it created the impetus for a conversation between two intelligent black men on social media that didn’t involve sports, the n-word or cursing, which doesn’t happen often enough. Thank you.

I didn't even enjoy it. It was horrible. I didn't want to see it, but my stupid family wanted to so I finally caved..., and regretted it.., and so did they.

Why go see this movie when I could just watch "Black" anchors on CNN, MSNBC, and Fox. 😂😂😂

I think the point of the movie was to say "Dont have biracial kids" they end up confused ,not truly accepted by either race and often end up hating both sides which ultimately leads to them hating themselves and this movie seems to be a direct reflection of that and we all had to suffer through this as a result. The writer inserted himself into this movie and it was all down hill from there.😂

I definitely agree they are working through some biracial problems. I saw it clear as day and I’m also a biracial person. I will say these dudes need a lot of therapy because they are really struggling with thier black side. They are so desperate for white attention and it bleeds through and makes them look pathetic. Because it is.

@@tristanband4003 I sure hope not! That’s the crap argument certain people make to discourage “race mixing”. However, as a biracial person, I wish we could have a more open discourse about the issues some of us face and how alone we can end up. I wonder if they had white mom’s, because I had a white mom and from what I hear things would’ve been much better for me if it had been my dad who was white. I hear that us biracial a with the white mom’s are all full of mixed people problems 🤣😂

This whole damn movie feels too online. This movie needs to log off and touch grass. I was curious about the premise. Now that I have seen the trailer in full, I am disappointed. This looks like the failure that was Antebellum.

The Key and Peele sketch on Magical Negroes was awesome. They should have went the satirical route. At least, I was hoping they did.

You don’t need to wait for streaming to ignore this bad film....ignore it now.

How did we go backwards from Spike Lee and Do the Right Thing and Jungle Fever or Robert Townsend Hollywood Shuffle?

It's the NAACP....

Looking at the trailer, I get the feeling that someone wrote and pitched a script that was supposed to make some kind of statement or commentary on society. Who knows. But after the execs, producers and casting got to it we end up with the movie we have today: someone’s mutilated baby

I just saw the movie. It was good. I enjoyed it. The message is not that black people need to be "magical" for white people to accept them. The message is, that black folk shouldn't have to be something, that is impossible to be, just to be alive. Good message.

I'm 2:47 in / I can't ... if it concludes w/a way for Black ppl to 'appease' white ppl, my head may explode ... lol I can't believe, David Allen Grier, would star in such a movie. The title alone, I'd given the side eye, if what I suspect is the story line, 'the world is ending!!'

How many times did you all watch this movie?

I never even heard of this movie before this video came up in my feed. I have heard the term used before in another video but it wasn't in reference to this movie so now I'm really curious to see where this all ends up going. And especially faced with this new rise in racism that our country seems to be gripped with in ways that this whole topic directly addresses.

I would be interested in watching Michael Harriot's version.📽

Very weird movie title, strange.

Movie went over people's heads. When merging a Rom Com with serious racial issues in the form of satire it gets hard to find direction. But it was a very entertaining film

😂😂😂The theories spun sounds better than the movie itself

WE CAN MAKE OUR OWN MOVIES ETC!

16:50 "Well, you know the police could kill me" happens historically to have always been the real bottom line, seeing that, as Dr. Gerald Horne explains, the British consciously expanded the success of their weapons industry against the Irish to subjugate Africa and the Americas.

The point was everyone is delusional !

3:50 why throw the black lead in there? Black topics maybe because WP arent BP after all, but lead? Will Smith movies sold like hot cakes. Eddy Murphy, Idris Elba, you name them... plenty of black leads

They should have just given this movie to Keenan and that would have made it better.😅

I have a regal unlimited membership so I saw this movie in the theaters for free. I'm not sure if its common for Black people to try and pass as white anymore. David Alan Grier's character didn't have a failure in the 19th Century. I assume was born around the same time David Alan Grier. His failure was losing the women he loved to his white client.

Damn, I would DIFINETLY go to see Michael Harriot's "Magical Negro" film. Sounds dope...

I agree that it wasn’t for POC aka Black folks and it’s taken me 3 times to watch it in its entirety. It’s seems a little disconnected. I happy I didn’t pay to see it, and the title compared to the movie was disappointing

I don’t go to a theatre (white dude here) to see like Tyler Perry garbage but I’d go to see a black lead movie.. whatever to that dude

This movie seems like click bait like said who black isn't gonna see it but the light skinned dude claims he pays to see regardless

After you ran down your revised treatment of this movie and then cause me to start laughing uncontrollably I had to stop and say this movie must be made it's a refined version of Blazing Saddles with a Twist it must be done if this doesn't happen what is the point of Hollywood? To be honest any big Studio that isn't willing to back it is clearly racist because it would be the biggest money maker and probably go down in history, but that's just me

“I don’t want to sound too, (Umar-ish).😅 I think you can still legally remake this movie. 1st, Titles can’t be copyrighted, so you can use the same title. But for content, you can get permission from the producers/ writers of the original. Sell it’s a sequel, an extension like a part ll. Of course, they probably would want a percentage. I am sure something could be negotiated. To the question of the immortality of the “magical negro”, I think yes. Immortal, not in the sense of individuals, but in the conceptualization, purpose and need of his existence in the first place. For as long as there are people with racist thought and implicit biases, the (M N) has and or will exist for it is a survival technique. So he lives on from generation to generation.

Movie was GREAT, I don't see how people missed the premise. If you think a movie made in Hollywood is gonna fix racism then think again. Very entertaining.

Who is upset about this movie. It was boring? It missed a lot of good opportunities.

You could rename this movie, Ode to the White Women Whom I Adore

The movie was spot on..... just showcasing the psyche of most so called blks

I haven't seen the movie but I think the way it's advertised is a slap in our face. Like we have to cater to white folks and not make them mad. What about when they make us mad!?

Please make the movie Guys😂

Michael H. sooo gets it… Of course. The perspective of a Black man with a full-Black experience would have created a much better movie. I believe the writer’s proximity to whiteness diluted the possibility of a powerful movie.

I wanna be in this remake

Maybe it’s a crtique of identity politics.

Please , no one appoint a singular author and cultural critic without a preface nor data nor rigorous study- to have permission to declare what Black people fear or what they care about most when violence by the state is among the choices... It sounds elitist and very ignorant... There is statistical evidence that shows Black men do not seek counseling for mental health as a reasonable rate. If true, why would he know what concerns Black people when the data on attending to mental health through counseling is so low... A clip board at the mall?... Where police brutality is high, people will have a response likely different than where it does not happen... like on Mars... Everywhere except Mars, ya dig. I was with you til then... Then u made a Big Bird, Daffy Duck point.

That's it. If they solve the problem {Paying much due Reparations to the ADOS} they lose their ginormous bag and the gatekeepers lose their jobs. Much money is made in creating problems and not solving problems. Such an un-Righteous system. 👀👁👁
