Chance The Rapper Criticizes ‘Bright’
Chance The Rapper was not here for Netflix‘s original Sci-Fi cop drama, Bright, starring Will Smith.
The movie got dragged so badly by critics that I watched it with low expectations. While I don’t think it was great, but it wasn’t terrible either…in my humble opinion.

While many on social media praised the film for the way it handled allegorical racism, that’s what irked Chance the most.

I found the way they tried to illustrate americas racism through the mythical creatures to be a little shallow. #Brightmovie

I always feel a lil cheated when I see allegorical racism in movies cause that racism usually stems from human emotion or tolerance but not by law or systems the way it is in real life. The characters in #Bright live in a timeline where racism is gone… cause we hate ork now ?

I think the idea is that they’re a step below bottom of the spectrum blackness. Which is why Will’s character, the Mexican cop and the ork have that dialogue in the street. https://t.co/LaFMysw2WG

I tried to look at it that way but a few minutes into the movie they make wills character say “Fairy Lives don’t Matter” https://t.co/j721N38cdR
