Comments on: Jodie Foster as Bernhard Goetz Proves Popular http://www.racismreview.com/blog/2007/09/17/jodie-foster-as-bernhard-goetz-proves-popular/ Thu, 09 Sep 2010 22:05:31 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Jessie http://www.racismreview.com/blog/2007/09/17/jodie-foster-as-bernhard-goetz-proves-popular/comment-page-1/#comment-6101 Jessie Fri, 19 Dec 2008 21:35:04 +0000 http://www.racismreview.com/blog/?p=34#comment-6101 Thanks, NJCher ~ I appreciate your comments and I'm glad you found the review useful. (It's always handy, too, when someone shares how they got here!) I hope you'll come back and comment again. Your comment reminds me that I should update that review with the new info that Jodie Foster has since come out publicly as a lesbian. Her racial politics, at least as reflected in that film, remain deplorable. Thanks, NJCher ~ I appreciate your comments and I’m glad you found the review useful.

I was even more disappointed when I learned she has credentials as executive producer. At first I didn't understand the casting. Her fiance' is not what one would expect for a Caucasian woman, so I looked for some plot-related reason for it. It soon became apparent that it was a foil all right--a foil so the protagonist herself would not appear racist. Your points are on target in this review which I found, btw, by Googling "Jodie Foster racism." I was disgusted with the stereotypes in this movie and I was disappointed in Jodie Foster.
