OMG, so, like. 47 Ronin looks incredibly racist and White Savior-y, but RINKO KIKUCHI. I mean, she plays a literal lady who turns into a dragon, and that's kind of racist too and I care absolutely zero for Keanu Reeves. Hmm. This might be a movie to pirate.

Yeah, it's like, the weirdest fantasy remake of The 47 Ronin, which is super strange. At least Keanu isn't a white actor playing a half-Japanese guy, though. Like at least they went with racially plausible casting, sort of? That's all I got.

My problem is--besides not particularly caring for Keanu Reeves' acting--is that he's passed as white his entire career. So even though he's not technically a white actor, it still kind of reads off to me. IDK.

yeah, he's definitely white-passing, but at least he's not. IDK. Tom Cruise.
