I respected Will's initial response about turning down the role of D'Jango, which allowed the opportunity to open up for Jamie Foxx. Nothing wrong with demanding the lead role to take down these demons.
I don't respect the updated reason, because it sounds like a bunch of soft BS to me to sell his new slavery film.
Will Smith is now saying that D'Jango was a movie about vengeance, not love. Like the majority of his movies are about love and not vengeance. Hell, Badboys 1 had him going after the people who were responsible for one of his girlfriend's dying, right? D'Jango's wife was taken.
Let's be real, Will Smith was too afraid of playing a role like that. The first response he gave nearly a decade ago felt more genuine than the mess he's saying today. Be the lead, but don't lie because you don't want to make non-Black people uncomfortable with you.
Will Smith's upcoming film will most likely be on some North vs South type stuff that showcases him in the Union Army. It doesn't just place a spotlight on the wickedness that is White Supremacy, I assume the enemy will be the Confederate Army. The Confederate flags are still allowed to fly nation wife, along with White Supremacy. Anything below Canada is the South, and you can look at all the anti-Black hate crimes that occur from one section of the country to the next and know that isn't only based in the South. He can find someone else to watch that.
He annoyed me with this shit, all he had to do was keep his damn mouth closed. I'm not the biggest fan of D'Jango, but I don't have a problem seeing Jamie in a role where he's knocking heads off. I only wish he did more of it. I don't want to see an army representing a White savior, and if D'Jango wasn't about love, I don't know what it is. This man put his life on the line to save his woman.
I don't care for Jada Pinkett, but hearing things like this, I can see why she might remain dry like the Sahara when it comes to this dude. Will is safer than Pac. If Pac could be a part of something that motivated his people, he was down for it. She knew how Pac was, she knew what it was like to be in his presence and I just don't think Will could ever fill that void.
I don't know Will's every move, and not all have to be on front street, but he chose to open his mouth.
