Hey hows it going people? I just saw that movie 2012 yesterday. Rented it on video. I thought it was pretty cool until right at the end when everything faded away to a big picture of the whole world underwater accept the continent of Africa.
Then it started to hit me. All of the minority characters in the movie were golden, they were really good people. All of the white people in the movie were corrupt in some way shape or form. Even the main character who was separated from his wife and kids because he spent too much time writing his book and shut them out.
This stuff didn't start sticking out to me until the very end when the whole damn world was obliterated except Africa which was completely untouched. I don't know it seemed a little biased against white people when you start looking at everything.
That aside I cannot say I didn't enjoy the movie because I did. It was really edge of your seat through all of those stunts and special effects. Very long too. It was like 2 and a half hours long. I think most people who like action type movies will get a bang out of this. You might be a little put off at the end because like I said the ending kind of ties in a lot of little symbolic things that they did through the whole movie that the average person who isn't too sensitive to racial issues probably isn't going to catch until the end when they slam it in your face. But even the weird ending aside I still have to say it was a fun movie.
...but why I gotta be the white devil? that's all I'm sayin' heh heh
I feel a little like that guy in Chasing Amy that said Star Wars was a racist trilogy designed to keep the black man down. That was a funny bit. And maybe I'm being ridiculous but I don't know you'll just have to watch the movie for yourself and see what you think.
