okay I wouldn't boycott Annie that's just dumb. but my college theatre program actually did the play last spring and we're not interested in seeing the movie because it feels like they're making into a hip hop thing and only replacing Annie with a black girl because one person somewhere said Annie being white was "racist". so I'm really not interested but boycotting? really?
also personally I think Annie's red hair is kind of important to the show. just me?
You're absolutely right; Annie's red hair and freckles were crucial to the original production. At the time, Irish immigrants in America were pretty unpopular, explaining why nobody would want to adopt a child with red hair like Annie. Nowadays, red hair is desirable and the original Annie would have no trouble getting adopted. So it makes sense to change her into a black girl because that's the kind of orphan that would be undesirable today.
the new movie is absolute horse shit and tbh i love the old version and we really shouldn't have fucked around with something so nice. Legit shit, the songs are so absolutely autotuned and its disgusting, so if anyone's boycotting the movie, it's because its so bad and they toyed around with it, not because she's black. if that is a reason, then they're being ridiculous
The transition into the songs are so cringey. For example:(SPOILERS SORTA KINDA)
Black Annie walks into her new home, women tells her to say something for voice recognition, Annie says "I THINK IM GONNA LIKE IT HERE" and then it goes right into the song.
The movie wasnt terrible, but the jokes and songs were. Dont really reccomend.
People in Egypt at the time of the Pharoes were white. White people were either murdered or ran out by Black Africans and Arabs. Cleopatra was fucking white for god sake. Do your history before you start running your mouth.
I hope this is not serious.
I really hope this is not serious.
I never knew that a member of the most intelligent species to walk the lands of the earth could be so damn stupid. It's like I'm reading words off of a pile of shit.
