Tragedy
This is a travesty to all of human-kind.
Sean Combs, you are just being disrespectful now.
Wake up from your dream and realize that you are a decent producer and a sub-par rapper, not an actor.
You disgust me.
I might say the same about you. The fact that Mr. Combs wants to bring this important and beautiful play to a new generation of people should be commended, not dismissed. Also, having seen these actors on Broadway, I will be the first to admit that Mr. Combs was the least impressive of the stars, but the Work of Audra McDonald and Phylicia Rashad was Magnificent and the fact that now everyone will have the chance to see their work is simply wonderful. Be very careful about the disrespectful things you say about the work of others
shareI do agree with you.
The other actors and actresses in this piece are wonderful, and this play is an important piece of American history. What I find disrespectful is that Sean Combs is placing himself among these talented and influential actors.
Do you not find that the least bit conceded?
He is putting his untalented self on the same level as these icons.
That is all that I find disrespectful.
I don't think it's conceited at all. I admire his effort. Or would you prefer he were making the typical rapper film stuff, killing people and having indiscriminate sex? This is such a better, more positive vehicle.
shareWell I too saw the performance on Broadway and have seen Monsters Ball and just think that P. Sissy can't act his way out of a cardboard box.
It's disrespectful to the trade of acting for him to keep punishing audiences with his egotistical masturbation. He should stay away from microphones and cameras and keep it in the studio where he, just barely, belongs.
I'm not really sure if they needed to do a remake, but how bad can this one be? Admittedly, they could have picked someone a little better than Combs. But as long as they don't mess with the script, I'm gonna watch it.
