George Clooney rebukes racism in backdrop of thriller 'Suburbicon'

you are an actor, nobody cares what you think. just make movies.

"The pinnacle of white privilege is my character driving around the neighborhood on a bicycle covered in blood murdering people and nobody's looking at him because they're all focused on the Mayers family and blaming them for all their problems," Damon said.

Did he just spoil the plot?

I thought this movie was going to be a drama exploring deep social issues in American society. It looks more like slapstick comedy garbage. So bad that I stopped watching halfway through the trailer. I wouldn't even watch this on an airplane.

I guess the movie sucks, so the producers are choosing to use the still contracted for actors to promote this movie on some sort of racism/racist level.

yeah can push the liberal narrative while at the same time blaming the “culture that Trump created by his rhetoric” for the fact that few to no people actually care to see this.

What wonderful timing for two of Hollywood’s most prominent virtue-signallers to come out with yet another movie browbeating Americans who live anywhere between NY and LA.

the same week they claim ignorance over Harvey Weinstein despite a 20 year friendship.

You're some guy on the Internet. Nobody cares what you think. Just listen to Alex Jones.

with a story about a black family moving into an affluent white suburban neighborhood as the backdrop.

Now why would a black family want to move into a white neighborhood?

Ridicules anyway, if the neighborhood was "affluent", then the real estate agency would have never sold the home to them.

Ridiculous

George makes full use of his life. He's not just an actor. He stands up and makes moves. LIke all of us should do.

 He stands up and makes moves.

Except when his good buddy and powerful producer is a well known sexual predator and rapist.

Then he stands stone still.

FizzBit: Now why would a black family want to move into a white neighborhood?

I have a better question, why a family would be ban from buying a property for the only reason of being black?

By the way the film is from a real story.

Every single person who goes to see a movie cares what the people who made it think. It is impossible to make a movie without thinking. Every step of the creative process involves thought. Granted, not always deep thought, but thought is a constant in creation. What you're doing is trying to pretend Clooney's career automatically invalidates his ideas that you disagree with but can't be bothered to argue against rationally.

For the same reason anyone else moves into a suburban neighborhood. Why do you think affluence is antithetical to blackness? Why do you think people need a reason to move into an area that is predominantly white?

The guilt is plain in the comments.

It certainly appears that way. I want to see it.

I saw the movie today. One of the worst films Clooney has ever made. 10 rotten tomatoes.

Yet when white people move into a black neighborhood it's called 'gentrification' and condemned by progressives as racist. Sorry, but I don't need to see another Hollywood movie aimed at self-hating white liberals.

Clooney, as well as the other Hollyweird actors, make their living by pretending to be someone else, and speaking lines that they did not write. Financially successful Hollyweird actors, like Clooney, are the ones who can make many people believe that they are someone they are not.

Sincerity - once you have learned to fake that, you'll have it made in Hollyweird.
