Why a Lone Ranger movie, Hollywood?
Sure, the new Lone Ranger flick has tons of explosions and revenge and justice and train-fight sequences, but you know what else it has?
Helena Bonham Carter?
Johnny Depp. Doing his noble savage impression. In blackface.
Or black-and-white-face, I guess.
WHAT THE HELL HOLLYWOOD.
Apparently, Johnny Depp is either part Cherokee or part Powhatan, which makes it OK, like having Keanu Reeves play a samurai.
Or whatever.
Also: Does anyone want to see a Lone Ranger movie? If so, why?
No, really, I’m curious. What sort of life have you led that you would want this?

Actually it isn’t blackface. Blackface refers to non-people of color portraying a person of color typically with black makeup leading to the name. The more accurate terminology would be redface which is the Native equivalent of blackface. I have not watched the movie however I’m told it is just as mythical as every other ‘native’ story.

Uh, yeah, I was going with the one people would be more familiar with, but thanks for educating the Native American woman here.
