How 'Gardening While Black' Almost Landed This Detroit Man in Jail
Depressing movie, and not in a good way.
Fail of all performance scenes.
Fail of all police scenes throughout.
Black men corrupting our beloved White women. Oh dear. Every time an old White man sees a Black man with a White woman and their mixed child, a tear rolls down his cheek. And he thinks back to the good ol’ days when Black people served White people with a smile.
Fail of all scenes. Fail of writing.
Fail of bust scene. Too stupid. Doesn't hold a candle to Straight Outta Compton, 2015.
Every year there's a movie where it's n*gger this and n*gger that. And White actors don't gloss over those lines. They lay into that sh*t. But it's not their fault. It's not even the fault of the director. It's the fault of the producer and studio executives for greenlighting these kinds of movies. The idea that the more we see it, the less we'll hate one another and the more we'll understand each other…is completely false.
See The Conspiracy Against Visible Minorities.
Fail of climax scene.

2 minutes into it and I've already tuned out. F*ck me. And people wonder why I stopped watching Hollywood movies.
Another Illuminati movie. Christ.
What's causing the earthquakes? The battle between good and evil of course.
You know, once in a while, it would be nice if the “chosen one” was a visible minority. You know, just for image, even if it’s not reality. But White Hollywood racists can't allow that now. And Black Panther doesn’t count.
Fail of psychotherapist scene.

Shooting film and digitally. Who do you think you are, Christopher Nolan?
Ah…the recruiting process. Good ol’ casting couch.
Fail of almost all filmmaking scenes throughout.
Fail of climax scene.
Fail of ending.
The plot is not interesting. Artists are constantly making new kinds of films every day. Some are excellent, most are garbage. Sadly, the excellent ones never get a wide release.

Story: Ambition, Relationships
Characters: Fail
Acting: Pass
Comments:
Fail of intro.
Oh dear good, I hope it's not one of those sh*tty imagination is everything movies and the imagination makes up all the scenes.
Living a life indoors because you're too weak to survive? And because liberals believe that evolution should have killed you but medical technology saved you, but they just don't say it to your face? One of those kinds of movies?
I can already guess how this is going to go down.
Cats looking up. Jokes.
I'm sorry, is this Black mother a millionaire? To live in that neighborhood and have that amount of technology is not cheap or easy. Low income Black people wouldn’t be able to relate to this movie.
A Cher movie. That costs money to show.
Fail almost all scenes. Just die already. Joking. Too cruel. I mean...continue with your life that evolution has deemed unworthy. I’m just sayin. I’m not a liberal evolutionist. I believe the crazy new age idea that aliens genetically engineered humanity from ape DNA and spliced it with their DNA. My liberal friends…relax, it’s just a belief…for now.
In terms of the house, what happens if electricity is knocked out for a few days? Diesel generators can't handle that much electricity pull.
Fail of visualized text scenes throughout. Just doesn't work.
No other visitors from 1-18 years except the White boy? Too unbelievable.
Always nice to know that all women, even Black women can be saved by a White boy. Well done Hollywood. I like that subtle racism. Getting sharper are we? The average person wouldn’t understand.
Fail of date scenes throughout.
Fail of mother/nurse anger scene. Too stupid. I've pretty much tuned out.
Fail of almost all scenes. Fail of writing and directing.

Plot: Humans want to exterminate apes.
Story: Survival, Ambition, Family, Character
Characters: Fail
Acting: Fail
Comments:
Fail of intro.
From the beginning, the story is too unbelievable and beyond suspension of disbelief.
Just so you know, the intro text could have been a movie in itself. Humans as an endangered species. What a joke. Even with a full blown nuclear war we wouldn't be endangered. We would adapt and repopulate the planet like crazy. We would put cats and bunnies to shame. If we allowed a policy of polygamy for 10 years, that would be enough. One man having sex with a different woman every day for 10 years. Men are salivating at the very thought right now.
They don't notice them that close? What happened to animal instincts? Too unbelievable.
Fail of attack scene.
Fail of liar scene.
Fail of music content.
How naïve can the apes be?
Fail of farm house scene.
The burgundy ape with the weird face is so cute and loving.
Nice aerial shots.

Fail of acting all around.
Fail of Dane Dehaan’s acting.
Fail of Cara Delevingne’s acting.
Comments:
Fail of intro. Too stupid.
What is this, the Federation on Star Trek?
I'm sorry, I'm confused. A space station equals the end of racism. Really? Too unbelievable.
Everything beyond suspension of disbelief and I'm less than 5 minutes into it. Sigh.
I can see why this movie was a Commercial Failure.
Fail of jump in time.
And the wise and peaceful aliens are White skinned. Of course. And the two heroes are White? Well done Hollywood. Gotta put visible minorities in their place.
Fail of intro of our two heroes.
Fail of all scenes of both heroes.
Complete fail of writing, acting, dialogue, cinematography, directing. And we're only 13 minutes into it.
Christ, these scenes are painful to watch.
Put your hand back on the joystick. Lovely sexual innuendo.
The residents look like they’re on a set. Please shot at 24 FPS with an adequate depth of field. It’s not rocket science.
Fail of almost all scenes. Fail of cinematography.
Fail of all tour scenes throughout.
Fail of infiltration scene.
Were the studio executives, producers and writer on crack cocaine when making this movie? Because it would explain a lot.

Fail of military council scene.
Fail of attack scene.
Fail of ship chase scene.
Fail of all military/federation scenes throughout. Powerfully stupid.
1 hour into it, still a complete fail of writing, acting, dialogue, cinematography, directing.
Slide your gun into my holster. Oh dear.
Fail of burlesque house scene.
Why is Rihanna in this movie?
Fail of all fight scenes throughout. Just terrible.
"I leave you my kingdom." What?
Fail of flashback scene.
Doesn't make sense that they could live undetected.
Fail of climax scene.
Fail of ending.
***Do not watch this movie. Should only be watched as a reference in how NOT to make a movie.
One of the worst movies of all time. This movie shouldn't have made $1.00. The fact that it made over $200 million proves that God does NOT exist.
This movie is even worse than the Atlas Shrugged movies.
$65 million in China. Sounds about right.

Good FBI house scene.
Never seen a Native American cutting themselves? You're way too green.
Fail of man/father talk scene.
Good bust scene.
Prison as a rite of passage for Native Americans? The same is true in Canada with Aboriginals. This writer knows their shit. Well done.
Good man/FBI agent scenes throughout.
Good standoff scene.
Good flashback scene.
Good realistic scenes.
White trash with nothing to do. What did you expect?
In Canada we have thousands of missing and murdered Aboriginal women, all with politicians bullshitting Canadians about how much they care.
With 1,000 Aboriginal Women Dead Or Missing, Canadians Are Asking #AmINext
Canadian aboriginal women four times more likely to be murdered, police say
Decades of missing Indigenous women a 'Canadian genocide' – leaked report
Good climax scene.
Good ending.

Good neighbors scene.
Good casino scene.
Good recruitment scene.
Good solution.
Bullsh*t charity winnings. Jokes.
Just so everyone's in the loop, no one should go to university. It's just a scam with no knowledge. People do it just for accreditation and going through the hoops. Even chemists and physicists can learn online. And law is one of the most manipulative and corrupt practices on the planet.
Calling his daughter a b*tch. Jokes.
Unbelievable that it could go on for so long, but the comedy is enough to pass.
Unruly women boxing. That actually works.
That's one way to get out of an arm bar.

Every year a new movie comes out with n*gger this and n*gger that. As if these movies are actually helping to empower Black people. On the other hand, it gives White actors the excuse to say n*gger this and that. See The Conspiracy Against Visible Minorities.
That's not accidental. That’s intentional. Hollywood is reminding Black people of their place in the social hierarchy, all while White audiences think that the movies are empowering for Black people. A tragic irony.
And as I mentioned before, they don't just gloss over the n*gger line. They lay into them. You know, if they rehearsed their lines in a crowded mall, I'd bet money that everyone who wasn't Black would join in.
Any who…back to the movie.
