Admittedly Shia does do a good job in this film. msmariahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15486729990673366769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7401903779540158679.post-32595837370311060252014-10-27T22:18:02.514-04:002014-10-27T22:18:02.514-04:00I haven't seen this yet but I totally get what...I haven't seen this yet but I totally get what you mean about the diversity thing. I'm not from the US and my race is barely represented in Hollywood and the few characters portrayed are often stereotypes. I really think that most of the films/shows only do it for the quota, just like in US corporations. That said, I'm still curious to check this out. I'm actually more curious to check out Shia's performance here.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06313168799746450979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7401903779540158679.post-2556546930665509822014-10-25T12:12:03.724-04:002014-10-25T12:12:03.724-04:00Ha, yes.
