There is a lot of controversy surrounding this film. George Lucas set out to do the “Unthinkable” and put out a movie that provided an ”All Black” cast. With that, he did not have any sponsors who
wanted to back him. Paramount nor Fox and many others did not want to touch this. So Lucas footed the bill himself, he put of $58 million of his own money (self financed). This movie was actually made in 2009 but never released until January 2012. Directed by Anthony Hemingway they both have worked hard to bring this movie to surface. We need to support this movie and go see it at the theaters. Why? Because it’s about the “Cause“. The “Cause” is much greater than the movie itself. If we don’t stand for something we will fall for anything. Why shouldn’t we be able to have an all black cast movie that is supported by the biggest of names? Why must we sit back and play the same roles that is thrown before us? George Lucas who put out one of the biggest movies such as “StarWars” did a tribute the greatest “Airmen” of time “Tuskegee Airmen” and nobody wants to support. Not many wanted to view it because it was an “all black” cast. As a disgrace people would rather get a “bootleg” copy than to support it in the theaters. Granted there will be other ”all black” movies but they will never hit the “Mainstream” unless we support. We must support our own. This isn’t about “George Lucas” or Cuba Gooding Jr. If we don’t support this movie and show that it can stand with the best, then their hard work was in “vain“. Thanks for reading “Wanda Thinks“
