Top Gun Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 The movie actually looks really visually spectacular from all appearances and has some great practical effects.

lupin_bebop Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 It's to keep reactions of it purely real and unbiased. Actually, it's to manage expectations of the movie. They don't want reviews swaying public opinion of the movie. A review before the movie comes out can make or break a box office weekend, especially this close to the big blockbuster movies that are coming this year (the couple that ARE coming, at least). You don't want to be tanked before you even get started. Honestly, it's the new form of censorship. The same holds true for gaming reviews. If you don't give Call of Duty at least a 9 out of 10 in your review, then Infinity Ward and Activision have you blacklisted as a reviewer and source. The same holds true for Battlefield and EA. Ask Jim Sterling. He's the living proof of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bouvre Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Star Wars: The Force Awakens considered doing the same thing for most of the months leading up to its release. It's commonly seen as an "element of surprise" approach to a box-office weekend opening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HardcoreHunter Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 I don't even pay attention to critics. The main reason why they aren't going to allow it is because SJWs were going insane over white washing the last year. Even if the movie is good they will piss and moan that the Major and other characters aren't Japanese. I remember reading one a while back when someone was saying how white washing will ruin the movie, and you should cast people by race, but then they were hyping up some all black cast stage play of the founding fathers in another article. Also they suggested Lucy Liu would have been an acceptable Major....Someone of Chinese decent. I don't know if they know but, China and Japan haven't been on the best of terms since WWII (look up unit 731). Really the majority of both sides would be offended if a Chinese person played a Japanese; except liberal arts student bloggers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing that you're talking about Hamilton going out of its way to cast minorities in a medium where they get few big roles. That is not the same as whitewashing in any way. I genuinely don't understand why people are too stupid to understand that different context doesn't produce the same harmful outcomes. I'm also meh on watching this movie because it just sounds dumbed down, and that will annoy me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Chinese and Japanese would have as much of a problem with this as you think. The Karate Kid remake had a black kid with Jackie Chan after all. There were minor complaints, but there wasn't major outrage. Asian Americans generally aren't that concerned about whitewashing and other such things in media. Most of us feel we have far more important things to worry about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HardcoreHunter Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 They changed the character in Dr.Strange from a Tibetan monk to a Celt just because China would have banned it otherwise. China just this year at the UN told Japan that they weren't bombed for no reason and told them to stop trying to wash their hands of the atrocities they committed in WWII. These people weren't even alive then and are still salty. The context was that Japan was giving a speech about atomic bomb guilt; while China was promoting their Atomic Weapons. The remake of Karate kid was a different issue. The story took place in China which is where Jackie Chan was born. Old Karate Kid's Mr Miyagi was born in Okinawa Japan. The only issues that I had ever heard from that film were because Will Smith's kid can't act, and was being forced into a new movie every year. Really I'm surprised that China will even allow a film called Ghost in the Shell to be in their country. They have a strict stance against anything that alludes to the supernatural or existence of an afterlife. The idea of ghosts is an odd trigger for them.

I look at it from the perspective that it would be more offensive to cast the Major as a Japanese woman and then have her appropriate a white woman's big bouncy boobies.
