Don't claim people in here are calling you a minstrel or whatever you said and then when asked about it ignore it cause it never happened the way you presented it.

I'm not the one citing made up interviews and behind the scenes footage only my uncle from nintendo saw where George and Ahmed conspired to hide old timey racism in their star wars.

Here's a cool vid https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rNYK5lhAzvg (Start at 5m0s) Ahmed Best posted:A lot of Jar Jar Binks comes from Buster Keaton. George and I would watch a lot of Buster Keaton. [...] A lot of the things that I did, I would do my own version of a Keaton movement.

I hate to be the rear end in a top hat who rains on everyone's parade, but doesn't this seem like the kind of thing that could easily get the thread shut down, at least temporarily? Maybe a course correction is needed...

Star Wars TPM is racist and you should feel bad for so tenaciously trying to deflect its obvious defamation of several minority and ethnic groups I narrow my focus to TPM because these things disappear after TPM. Jar Jar changes drastically afterward. Almost as if the wave of criticisms of antisemitism and racism made Lucas change his poo poo fast

Is that enough for you you pendantic idiot

There is no such implication. In fact Ruddiger is trying to pass off minstrel performance as an accent. An accent that, despite whatever Ruddiger says, does not exist in the real world. Such an accent Jar Jar uses was used in minstrel shows and is deragatory

Again, the actor himself has responded really eloquently to the criticism. That aside, here's a compilation someone made of all of Jar Jar's scenes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_FLhO7ZnKHs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5bebyFYIhIk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YR_ow1HYrts When is he "jive walking"? It looks like he's just...walking? Also he's self-describedly "clumsy", which isn't a racial trait I'm aware of, but is otherwise a character not unlike Finn or 3PO, who themselves get into awkward situations. He proves to be a valuable, loyal and insightful companion once the characters see past their own bigotry Much like one would think audiences would. But apparently nerds have a deep seated hatred of characters who talk with a funny voice Waffles Inc. fucked around with this message at 17:37 on Oct 19, 2016 |

temple posted:Ahmed Best is dead. Context matters. Performances don't exist in a vacuum. Then we agree even more completely! If you're talking purely about context, then Jar Jar is an even better mirror to hold up against the audience He's a guy who's fallen on hard times who gets saved by a chance encounter by people who think he's an idiot because he doesn't have a standard way of speaking. They (and by extension the audience) are shamed by Jar Jar when it turns out that he's an emotionally and genuinely intelligent dude who helps them beat the Trade Federation
