I certainly don't want to attract a bunch of political discussion, I want to frame this in more of a cultural perspective but what would happen if somebody made a World War 2 movie and had Adolf Hitler played by a black actor?
How would people react?
Could the film be commercially successful if it was executed properly?
Is this simply the natural next step in pop culture?
This is an 18+ board, champ. Best go back to reddit, slugger.

don;t trigger me it's a serious question
It would flop, horribly.
Racists wouldn't see it because they would consider it an insult to portray der fuhrer as some mongrel shitskin ape and liberals wouldn't see it because they would find a black person being racist as unbelievable.
>>63367456
this is probably correct
>>63367456
Are there really people living today who care about 'der fuhrer' besides stormfags?
>>63367456
Who cares what racists think? They're hardly into high concept cinema.
>liberals wouldn't see it
This is why Lars Von Trier should direct; he's got the experimental film cred and should mollify all the artfags.

it would be quite a statement but would Von Trier be willing to go THAT far. Hardcore sex is one thing but this might be a step too far.

Why do you guys think people are so black and white? Would you ever think that? Don't be stupid.

I think that when a character's race is important, like in certain war stories, the actor's should at least portray them in the ethnicity they were/are. However I get tons of entertainment from SJW pandering in most major films. So I want a WWII series where Hitler is a female mexican who frequently takes her hoop earrings off to fight people, Stalin is a Jamaican stoner, Churchill is a small mentally handicapped Indian boy. FDR is an eskimo pulled by a dog-sled and Mussolini is a white redneck.
Maybe like a parody or something because there's no way you can make a serious movie with that scenario

do you not think this might be the next stage in the current lexicon of popular culture? Is the equivalent of Dear White People of 2020 not too far off from the film you just described?
