I dunno, what was the point in casting Maya Rudolph in a 1 minute scene, that couldn't have been done by someone not famous? Same for all the other famous cameos. Except for maybe demonstrating what a cool guy Anderson is, so much so that super famous people are willing to act in two bit roles in his movies.
Actually the characters didn't find him a racist moron, the most they did was express confusion. Another problem scene is the inclusion of the only gay character as a walking stereotype. I suppose there are ways to interpret their inclusion as realistic to the portrayals of the era. It doesn't help them be any less jarring or uncomfortable for those who are the supposed target of the joke/non-joke.
Although I'm totally not surprised that once again you don't get it... 
P.s. Just read that Maya Rudolph is his partner, lol. The comment stands for the rest though. |
You're so f*cking rule based, it hurts my brain. Rules. Rules. Rules. Can't use cameos. Can't use famous actors sons for lead roles. Can't use a clearly racist character in a funny way because that means you're racist. Can't have a gay character be stereotypical. Can't pay for Tom Waits to be on set for a day. That character exists in the story for one scene...but your rules say the actor can't be TOO famous. Famous people need as much screentime as possible, right?
How can you watch so many movies yet are so confused and offended by the most basic of casting concepts?
