Apparently, SLJ commented on the fact that a British actor played the lead in Get Out, and he wondered how an American actor would handle it since race relations are different in the two countries with different histories. John tweeted that that was a stupid thing to say and we didn't have time for that argument.

[(Anonymous)]

I mean... that does seem kind of dumb to say, imo? Yes race relation history is different, but the lead actor didn't write the script? I mean, he was acting in the way he was told to act, so to say an American actor would act it differently seems a weird thing to me...

[(Anonymous)]

You expect an American actor to give that much credit to the writing?

[(Anonymous)]

I think what SLJ said was much more critical and much less sort of idly-wondering-about-acting than you're presenting it here

[(Anonymous)]

Maybe it was, I honestly know very little about what went down.

I wonder if Boyega felt sort of personally attacked.

[(Anonymous)]

Given his recent movie, Detroit, where he played an American and the movie was very much about race in America.

Re: I wonder if Boyega felt sort of personally attacked.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, and Detroit was roundly criticized for being a white depiction of black pain. Maybe if John Boyega was more established in Hollywood, he wouldn't have gone for the role. Or maybe he would have been in a position to have black people behind the camera as well, who would have told the story differently.
