Black Entertainment : Another slave movie (Belle) (Black female British writer and film director)

[Kemetstry]

because screen writers , actors, and directors understand marketing or allow them selves to be convinced that only white is right flicks will sell, and so they write these corny tales. Or this writer truly feels this way, or the screen play was altered from its original form drastically.

What ever the case I turned the trailer off 3/4 of the way through.

No, this isn't a matter of being convinced for them. They don't ever want the idea out there that any other group could get by without them. There is a reason Jesus, in spite of evidence to the contrary, is given a white skin. They have it right. They are using media to convince the world that neither you or I could live without them

we're in agreement , I am speaking more to why these shows are green lighted . Writers will write what sells, and they have been convinced that this what brings in bodies to sit in seats . After all 12 years a slave and Django have won various awards including Oscars.

These Projects are produced because of the reasons you mention.

12 years a slave had an $18 million budget, and grossed over $177. Domestic sales were over $56 Million,while international sales were over $121 million. White people love slave movies. http://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=twelveyearsaslave.htm . Writers and producers study the numbers and follow the trends.
