Netflix G20 is Silly

Video movie review:
Want to watch an almost-60 year old girlboss throw stunt men around and do her best to imitate Die Hard? Then G20, the most unintentionally hilarious movie of the year, might just be the film for you!
The USA President is a 60yo Black woman who beats up a team of terrorists, and gets expert computer help from her teenaged daughter.

I wonder what the market is these Black and girl boss movies. Maybe they made the movie when it appeared that Kamala Harris would be he next President, but she is half-Hindu half-Jamaican, has no kids, and is not capable of beating anyone up. Or even playing the role of a competent President.

I don't want to sound racist, but Black people do not show up very well on my tv screen. I can see the facial expressions of White actors much better. Moviemakers should cast actors that are going to look good on the common screens that people have.

In the end, the old Black woman saves the world, and sends her female rival to prison!

Roger,
Yes G20 is hilarious. I thought it was supposed to be parody, I guess it is even more funny if you take it seriously.

As to black actors: Yes, people with darker skin are an issue if you don't light them correctly, this requires special care. This has been pointed out by some theater directors who got into trouble on racial grounds for admitting that you must light black performers faces differently especially when using blue or low light (often used to simulate night or darkness in stage productions) or you will not be able to see their features. This isn't any kind of racism though, it's just how light mixes and refracts. If I can only see the white of your eyes and teeth...it's unsettling.
