The SECRET was about Jeremy Renner! I was replying to a comment about this movie specifically. Who or what was I supposed to talk about instead? And casting IS a storytelling decision, which also may or may not be a function of the script, the studio, etc. (Could he have turned it down? Sure. I did not say he should have. I criticized his casting. Last I checked actors don’t cast themselves in things unless they’re also producers or directors or whatever.)

And even if I did for some reason criticize him personally (which I did not), it’s just as important to criticize the actors and movies we like as it is to do so for the ones we don’t like. I am having a hard time understanding why people in this thread can’t recognize they can like the movie and his performance while still acknowledging that telling this story from the perspective of white savior characters is not a good look. If anything, that’s why my comment turned into a much longer thread than necessary. So that’s the last I’m going to say on it.
