The Offensive Movie Cliche that won't die


Q. Matt Zoller couldn't define "Magical Negro" better than this. It’s such a cliché always seen the same characters on most movies, that sometimes you know what the actor might say or even do. Matt gave us the definition of "magical negro" a character who acts as a mentor to a questing white hero. In American culture these characters are consider to be like the "Gods" the light of the movie. It’s like having someone telling you what’s wrong or right. I believe that actors shouldn’t get offended, even though it’s a cliché all Hollywood actors are place into categories and they should accept the way their been seen.

   C. Using the president as an example made me understand how people see these types of actors in real. Even though it’s still hard for me to say “negro” on words, I understand how they feel. Theirs words that shouldn’t be said even though they don’t mean to hurt others might take it offensive. Like the tittle said it’s just a cliché and it’s something that Hollywood would always keep going on. No matter what others think I enjoy these types of movies. It always gives some great meanings to the movies and makes us learn a lesson.
