White Man's Burden Summary
From The Producer Of "pulp Fiction" --set In A Time Where Color Roles Have Been Reversed, John Travolta Is Louis Pinnock--a Poor Man Struggling To Keep His Wife And Children Fed And Clothed. But When He Loses His Job, Pinnock Snaps And Decides To Fight Back The Only Way He Knows How.
The premise is interesting, but the execution fails to live up to any of its potential.
White Man's Burden
imagines an America where black people are the ruling class and whites are underprivileged minorities. John Travolta stars as a factory worker who is fired after making a delivery to the house of the factory owner (Harry Belafonte) and accidentally peeping the man's naked wife through a window. Now jobless and unable to support his family, his wife (Kelly Lynch) leaves him. In desperation he kidnaps Belafonte. The best part of the film is seeing African American actors filling the smaller, background roles that usually go to white actors (such as police officers and wealthy suburbanites), but the movie fails in its poorly thought-out ideas. Transposing the characters' skin color out of the thinly veiled metaphor, John Travolta's portrayal of the poor black man as violent and uneducated (but family oriented), combined with Belafonte's rich white man as just and compassionate (and also family oriented), borders on being truly offensive. The fact that it's helmed by an Asian American director, Desmond Nakano, only makes you wonder why Asian Americans are conspicuously absent (as are Hispanics) and where the heck they would fit into this world, anyway.
