All this misplaced outrage when people really should be outraged that Dr. Bruce Banner is not a medical doctor. He's a nuclear physicist. Boy, I hope someone gets fired over this butchery.

Banner is actually a polymath.

All I have to say is, watch the fucking movie, it makes sense why it is in the slums...

[Evlar]

Yeah I really don't get it. Two no name actors, out of the 1000s and 1000s of actors in Bollywood, claim India wasn't portrayed properly. Out of the two, one even says "BEFORE POINTING THE FINGER AT THE WEST...WE NEED TO FIX OUR PROBLEMS" and yet GAF has gone full hate mode that two people in India dare say something negative. And again I bet more than anything they were just asked a question, probably haven't seen the movie, or if they have don't understand why Banner is where he is. This isn't some deep well thought out argument, just two (well 1 really) actors imagining Hollywood purposely showing Indian in a negative light.

Man, if you think this is GAF in "full hate mode"...

Others have covered the racism thing, but there were a small group of people that worship the norse gods that were upset with the commercialism. There was one blog where the guy got depressed over seeing a toy mjornir in walmart.

In my youth, I had a lot of fun mis-educating my peers by telling them that the Greek Orthodoxy believed that the Clash of the Titans (the one with Harry Hamlin) was a true story.

India always bitches when they show their slums, ive seen them by myself, the movie even made them pretty.

Brazil (specifically Cariocas) also complains when people show the favelas.

I understand some Indians being upset, because in a world where people think that everywhere else is a land of hats, it's hard to get people to believe that they won't encounter wall-to-wall poo and child laborers if they ever decide to tour India. Hell, I have a hard enough time with people being upset that I own neither a horse nor a cowboy hat.

That being said, India does sometimes appear to think "out of sight, out of mind" is a sustainable public policy... as do a lot of places where there are large disparities between upper and lower classes. Like, say... Washington DC.

I have no idea what you just said, sorry

I was being sarcastic. Didn't word it in the best way, I suppose.

"Stop showing our slums so that people will forget they exist and we won't have to do anything about them."

Yeah I was in Thailand when I saw this movie, it looked like they were depicting Thailand of course most in the audience were middle class Thais. I felt a little embarrassed because this is the way American movies depict other countries.
Didn't know it was India.

[crazy monkey]

You should realize that Hollywood does this to most of the US as well. Most of the country to them is "flyover country".

Rich Bollywood stars don't want to face the cognitive dissonance arising from the knowledge that their fellow countrymen live in abhorrent conditions. When you're rich, someone else's suffering is merely part of the "wonderful culture" of your country.

Ding! Ding! Ding! Also, India does have slums. But just because the film shows that, it doesn't imply that India only consists of slums.
