Comments by "Ember Fist" (@emberfist8347) on "Candyman \"Updated\" To Address Social Justice Issues Like Gentrification! Woke Horror By Jordan Peele" video.

Candman wasn’t made to be political. It was an American transplantation of a British horror story.

@hamboningmaster You fail to realize it is an adaptation of a work that didn’t deal with politics.
17
@ComradeDrake You need to look up the forbidden the story the film was based on
15
@FKP_1510 Candyman was an American remake of a British Horror short story
10
@ComradeDrake You are dodging the question
8
@hamboningmaster How was Helen being accused for his murders based on politics?
7
@audiomancytv4984 Not race politics
7
@audiomancytv4984 I haven’t read every Clive Barker book but The Forebidden wasn’t based on race politics.
6
@ComradeDrake I asked if you read the story the movie was based on.
5
@hamboningmaster You assume an awful lot.
5
Only to a smooth brain
5
Coming from someone who hasn’t seen the video
4
@audiomancytv4984 Except how is it about racial politics? Where are the racial politics of Helen getting accused for Candyman's murders?
4
@Artof8limbs2099 Not from someone who uses all caps.
4
@LMAODOODZ Where is the systemic racism in a white woman being accused of the murders Candyman did? That is the opposite of systemic racism
4
He wasn’t falsely accused. It was just he had a relationship with a white woman back when slavery was still legal.
3
@ghostface6901 That is not racist.
2
Night of the Living Dead wasn’t written about racism. Ben was cast because the black man gave the best Audition.
2
@Ozymandias_1818 The Shining wasn't about white guilt. It was about Alcoholism
2
@Ozymandias_1818 Except not really. The Indian Burial Ground was a minor detail. Steven King was pretty clear about Alcoholism being the main theme.
2
You are making a pretty idiotic assumption
2
Really because how is having a white woman being wrongly accused for Candyman’s crimes a real life racial issue
2
Nah when the sequels come around the budgets get bigger and more elaborate. For reference the original Friday the 13th had a budget of 550,000. The final stand alone entry Jason X was made on a 11-14 million dollar budget
2
@aeringothyk5445 Where was theme of racism in Helen getting accused for Candyman’s murders
2
@audiomancytv4984 Because the lynching happened in the mid to late 1800’s.
2
@OthelloSilvermoon Yes but those aren’t racial politics and the story doesn’t mention his race
2
@IsaTehGothicMando Have you read the story it was based on?
2
If it was about racism why was a white woman accused of being the killer?
1
@emptyblank099a Except he wasn't. He banged a white woman and they had a mixed child. This was a plot point in the sequels.
1
What is woke about a white woman being accused of a black man’s crimes?
1
The Simpsons actually a did a joke about that. Bart goes into a tattoo parlor where every store is either a Starbucks or being made into a Starbucks three guesses what the sign for the tattoo parlor says when he leaves.
1
@Redeemedentertainment Slavery being mentioned in a work set after the Civil War isn’t automatically political
1
@Rcurtis777 His backstory has changed. Candyman’s old origin was completely different he wasn’t some dude from the projects who was accused of performing something that is a long debunked urban legend.
1
@Rcurtis777 because that is an asspull. The movie had three sequels where it was the same Candyman each time
1
@Kiddo_williams What is the racial theme behind a white woman being framed for a black dude’s killing spree)
1
Twitter and common sense are antonyms. Also the original film wasn’t woke. It was an adaptation of a British story
1
@makiaveli1997 Really not all movies that require you to think are political. Inception isn’t political but it requires plenty of thought so does Total Recall.
1
@Ozymandias_1818 Yes a subtext about Acoholism.
1
@venus3056 An adaptation of a British horror story inspired by real life urban legends
1
They changed the original ending because they thought it was too similar to what the BLM was claiming was happening
1
Well how was Helen getting framed for Candyman’s murders political?
1
@baemaxlpz4689 The son of a slave not a slave himself
1
@baemaxlpz4689 The son of one.
1
@baemaxlpz4689 It is a pretty big difference
1
@Caradoc g No I keep asking that because it is a significant plot point and it isn't a reversal to the black experience. The movie never had a black character something about the tabes being turned. It is one of the oldest horror cliches in the book.
1
@OthelloSilvermoon The Forbidden wasn’t based on racial politics.
1
@someguywithnochallenger8178 The original wasn't overtly political.
1
@makiaveli1997 Except the thing is the police end up accusing a white woman for the killings. If the film really wanted to show that claim was true, they would be on a manhunt like in The Terminator
1
There were two sequels already
1
You clearly haven’t if you think it was woke.
1
@joshuab9226 Except you forget that his backstory was just that a backstory:
1
@andyb6400 Joker wasn’t woke though. It was applicable. It never went one way or the other about politics saying one things is bad or something like that
1
@syafiqjabar Except that really isn’t the case. Arthur wasn’t against the rich he just hated one rich dude who may or may not be his father and killed three guys on a subway who happened to work for said rich dude
1
@rjtransform It was about a white woman being framed for murders done by an urban legend
1
@ghostface6901 You are one to talk if you think statistics are racist
1
@syafiqjabar You are grasping at straws. Arthur was always messed up. The social worker was only delaying the inevitable
1
No it wasn’t. It was about Urban Legends
1
@coldoutinteractive A conversation. 1. The movie had several references to urban legends
1
@rickardkaufman3988 But not race politics neither was the film.
1
@prehistoriccreator9600 He is a businessman. Business is politics and not every President held a political position before taking the Oval Office.
1
Really name a horror film from the 20th century that isn’t Candyman and was about racism. And speaking of which how was mentioning slavery making the original about racism?
1
@mdover2948 Art isn’t always political
1
@debstherottie472 No it wasn’t. It literally had a blonde white woman being accused for stuff a black man did.
1
@mr.garbage5825 You haven't seen the movie.
1
@eveningstar7812 Nope there is no black oppression message when the movie does the opposite.
1
@LDuke-pc7kq The movie used the old horror film trope that the police don't believe the protagonist and in the case of this movie and others, believe they are the person behind the killings.
1
@rrobyv Where was the police brutality. Did the police lead a manhunt and attack every black man in the projects? No they arrested the white final girl of the film thinking she was the killer.
1
Yeah I kinda got the movie was woke from seeing the trailer where they gave a new origin for Candyman. The original motivation of the Lynch mob that killed him was because he impregnated a white woman in the 1800’s back when racism was an issue. The new movie is using a different origin based on the razor apples urban legend which he got blamed for.
1
Really the cops weren’t evil in the first movie just the same useless cops you get in any horror film.
1
@Blast2224 Because it was delayed to oblivion and targeted both sides
1
@aaronrivera6732 No he did that was the dude’s origin
