A girl tries to save an old man's show by going to New York and convincing some of his proteges to help him out. They decide to go to Memphis, where the old man's show is on pause, and put on the show themselves. It was a positive movie with positive gestures until they went and had to be racist.
What was the fascination of white people and blackface? An entire chorus of around thirty people all performed in blackface. And this was the second movie in a row it happened! I had just watched a movie called "Sweetie" and they did the same thing--an entire choir sang in blackface.
I don't wanna hear "It was a different time." That doesn't make it any less offensive nor am I going to excuse it.
