Beauty and the Beast: A 30th Celebration I think is the most colorfully diverse Disney production since Cinderella (1997)

Belle is played by H.E.R., a Biracial Black-Filipino singer!!

the background cast is a rainbow of skin tones!!

the main characters of The Beast’s castle staff are diverse as well!!

Including David Alan Grier as Cogsworth, Martin Short as Lumière, Shania Twain as Mrs. Potts, and Leo Abelo Perry as Chip

Maurice, Belle’s father, is played by Filipino actor, Ernesto Cloma Briones Jr.

Gaston has dreads! And arms as thick as tree trunks! (played by Joshua Henry)

Candace ~ Queen of Clubs: Giving, generous, nurturing, loyal, and protective to the people she loves.

Alan ~ King of Hearts: Represents a man who is good-natured, loving, and gives good advice. Possibly a paternal life figure.

A Soldier's Story (1984). An African-American officer investigates a murder in a racially charged situation in World War II.

While it'll never quite stack up when it comes to the In the Heat of the Night comparisons (the two films share a director and thematic throughline after all), this is still an excellent, intelligent thriller grounded in great performances and a sharp script. Denzel Washington's the clear standout (I can't believe this is only his second feature!), but he's bolstered by a great cast all around. Just a really great watch. 8/10.

I like reserving judgment until I actually see the movie, typically, but the full trailer for The American Society of Magical Negroes, was not. . . was. . . wasn't what I thought. . . didn't go the way I thought it would go.

Hmm.

I was expecting something different. . . less, much less, falling for a white woman. More breaking free of the trope for his own journey infinitely less falling in love with a white woman. What I'm saying is, a white woman! This all hinges on him falling for a white woman. Be fucking for real.

But again, it's just the trailer. Maybe the movie is deeper, different, but I don't feel like it will be. I don't know.

Also, he's light skinned, half white. Is he really having the same danger-inducing, uncomfortable, awkward interactions as a darker person. I know he's still having them, but they'd definitely be different in comparison.

Magical negroes tend to be brown-skin. That's how the trope started as an "apology" for the deluge of racist depictions, the blackface, etc.

That trailer reveal was a real, "You had me in the first half, not gonna lie."
