Forest Gump
Starring Sir Lawrence Olivier
"Stupidity is the bane of existence," Forest cries out when his momma compares life to a box of chocolates. He goes on to lecture R. Nixon on the follies of a corrupt leadership. In the end, he marries Ann-Margaret and they fly off to honeymoon in Vegas.
Hope this isn't a "negative" approach. <smile>
The Wind done gone:
Denzel Washington: Rhett Butler
Halle Berry: Scarlett O'Hara
Wesley Snipes: Ashley Wilkes
Rosanne Barr: Mammy
Madonna: Prissy
Rosanne Barr and Madonna in black face? That would indeed be a sight. I would maybe cast George Clooney as Mammy (getting the Oscar!), in drag and black face, to ward off rumors that Hollywood is full of closeted conservatives.
Indeed, Mr. Wizard.
but I would have them remain a pale pink.
I know -- role reversal is the key there. What if America had been dominated by Africans instead of WASPs? Although most of the forefathers were theists and not in the least Protestant, nor, for gawd's sake, Catholic. Curious that the most liberal church is now the Episcopalians/Anglicans.
You know, Mr. Wizard, this has become more than fractured flicks. It has become a study in scarlet. <smile>
You realize, of course, what an ecoplian is do you not.
Thinking about other ethnic movies and their reverse roles.
