My black co-worker asked me today to reccomend him a white people movie, and he’d give me a black people movie.

At first I reccomended Live Die Repeat (also known as Edge of Tomorrow) then remembered Wes Anderson exists and said anything by him maybe.

He reccomended Salt and The Tourist. I intend to watch them on the weekend.

    Uh oh. I’m starting to notice that they’re ALL white movies. It’s almost as if the entire industry has been dominated by a single voice since it’s inception. 🤔

      Yeah. I thought it was bizarre when some people complained about a black actor playing the little mermaid. We could list Americans of northern European ancestry playing almost every other race, ethnicity and nationality without anyone blinking an eye and we could do it for days without being close to a complete list.

    I’m pretty sure Fight Club is a white movie, and it’s actually good, or I’ maybe m just that white.

    I am not really sure what is “white” and “black” movies, but I was born in Vilnius, Lithuania myself, with “white” skin color if that makes sense.
    In this case, I had around 30 titles in the mind for the “white”, but for some reason, the first 5 that I recalled and imagined was:
    - Run Lola Run (1998);
    - Suicide Room (2011);
    - The Place Beyond the Pines (2012);
    - The Book Thief (2013);
    - Head Full of Honey" (2018);
