[quote=Anonymous]I'm annoyed by it, too -- partly because I think it reflects studios' assumption that white people won't watch a movie unless there's a white person at the center of the story. Plenty of people were irritated by "the blind side." There was also the movie about Steve Biko that focused on a white journalist rather than Biki himself, or "last king of Scotland," the movie about Idi Amin (w/a powerhouse performance by Forrest Whitaker) that was from the POV of his white doctor. Compare it with "42," the Jackie Robinson movie - there's no doubt a white guy is instrumental in events, & Harrison Ford does a great job in the role, but he's still clearly secondary to Robinson himself as far as the story is concerned.[/quote]
