Ghost in the Shell ‘considered CGI to make white actors look Asian’
The filmmakers allegedly ran tests to ‘shift ethnicity’.
Scarlett Johansson
Is it really so hard to cast a Asian actor to play the lead anime character Major Motoko Kusanagi in Ghost in the Shell? Hollywood would rather spends millions of dollars on CGI (Computer generated imagery) to make a white actress Scarlett Johansson ; cast look Asian then to audition well known or not well known Asian actors;actresses to play Asian people in this film adaptation? Do you Hollywood BIG WHITE BOYS; WOMEN understand that your BIGGEST movie goers who spend much money are the hard working Black folks; other minorities? THANK GOD they allegedly considered using CGI to make white actors look Asian. This is how Paramount responded claiming the CGI tests were for a “background actor” rather than for Johansson. YEAH RIGHT!
Do you remember that Movie Gods of Egypt? You cast all WHITE (all but one) actors and tried to pass them off as historically accurate not to mention the WACK CGI effects. Your movie FLOPPED at the box office. We as ethnic people are not really wanted in their movies but they know they have to have a token black, Asian, Latino, Latina, Puerto Rican. When we are cast we are the criminal, drug addict, the angry black (FAT) black woman, oh I forgot if they do cast a black woman as the lead (Stacy Dash) they have to be light bright and damn near right with the good hair that can be easily flat ironed to be straight as a stick. White Hollywood only sees us as dollar signs, they steal our culture then water it down to suit they taste.
White Hollywood has found away and maybe even a dangerous way to totally get rid of what they see as threat develop technology where we can change the ethnicity of the actresses; actors to WHITE people to fit THEIR vision? We people of color will always be that token unless we stand up and do something about it!
We need to make our OWN tv;movie production companies produce our OWN movies; tv series just like the white hollywood juggernauts. Sadly, BET was OWNED and operated by Black people from 1980-1997 until it was sold to a white owned an operated Corporation Viacom ever since then BET is watered down with nothing but fast money reality shows with black people who have NO control of content there are a lot of our people that are content as long as millions of dollars are thrown at them.
Okay to my 1 trillion dollar spenders in order to make change we must hit ‘em where it hurts it is so true money makes the world go round the world would stop and LISTEN and ACT if we as a people STOPPED spending money where are we are NOT shown as the main character, if we are shown ALWAYS stereotypes then boycott that shit! DON’T SPEND MONEY WHERE YOU ARE NOT UPLIFTED AND SUPPORTED!
REMEMBER NEVER CALL AN ANIME A CARTOON!
