Review of Burnt

. . . it constitutes a partially palatable snack if you can stomach its anti-Black racial bias. Would Andrew Lloyd Webber cast the title character of JEZUS CHR1ST, SUPERSTAR--along with all His disciples--as a Lily White crew, EXCEPT for the betrayer's role (Judas Iscariot), filled by a Black face?! That's exactly what the Weinstein Co. people have done with BURNT, as the only Black character with a speaking part, Michel, turns out to be a sneaky Iago-type biding his time, waiting to gain vengeance against all White People for some perceived wrong in the distant past (maybe his great granddad times nine was kidnapped to Europe in the 1600s). The title for this racist flick seems to single out Michel, referencing his skin tone and intentions toward everyone else, while portraying Blacks as untrustworthy, back-stabbing ticking time bombs. At a Real Life juncture when half of European Whites are engaged in a War against their current influx of darker-skinned refugees, Weintein's Co.'s schedule for releasing a flick set and shot in Europe such as this racist BURNT is tantamount to throwing gasoline on a theater fire!
