Pay it Forward

[DeathToMikeyBay 130]

I don't think there's ever been a more inept movie that was so blatantly going for an oscar grab.

 

Hally Joel Osment (Sixth Sense) is basically Jesus and starts a movement where everyone does good deeds and the recipients "pay it forward" by doing 3 more good deeds. Kevin Spacey plays the teacher with a scarred face mentoring him, which is an exact copy of Mel Gibson's character from The Man Without a Face. Hally goes on to LITERALLY become jesus by dying to inspire others. Instant oscar, right?

 

So the movie is horribly made with a laughable morality tale. I'd almost call it a super inept version of Timothy Green minus any trees.

 

But what really nails the WTF factor is how crazy racist the movie is. All blacks are thugs, the kid who kills Osment is a latino gangbanger, and the moral fiber of all minority characters is judged solely on how subservient they are to whitey.

 

This one clip sums up the whole thing. Keep in mind this is one of the "good blacks" in the movie. We know he is a good black because he knows from watching Nancy Grace that upper middle class white teenage girls are more important than him. But they can't just have him be courteous and let the girl go ahead of him in the emergency room, he has to...well just watch.
