I'm sorry, denim. I just thought the Jim Crow comparison was a bit too much, like you were trying to take a shot at me for liking the movie.

Sorry I don't agree with you.
It's called acting, buddy. Brits doing American accents, Americans doing British accents, it happens in every other movie. What you saw as a caricature I thought was a believable performance that made me invested in the character. It's not like he dressed up in redface and everyone gave an approving thumbs up.
While I'm thinking about Green Book...
How is Mortensen's caricature of an Italian American acceptable either? At least Maniscalco is real.

Speaking of The Mahershalalhashbaz Ali.

I'm bright enough to know, you can't bait the tension of racial inequality without adding any weight to the proceedings.
You can keep the happy go-lucky Jim Crow movies.
I was kinda surprised to see Jeremy Jahns underscribe the movie. I didn't think the main character was "cold" or hard to connect to at all. He does try to keep a straight face, but there are definitely parts where Armstrong loses it as well.
Kind of sad that something as meticulously crafted, character centered and daringly recontextualizing as First Man seems to only be drawing attention for it’s (brilliant, make no mistake) score.
