White Man
The premise is interesting, but the execution fails to live up to any of its potential. White Mans 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 mans 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 Travoltas portrayal of the poor black man as violent and uneducated (but family oriented), combined with Belafontes rich white man as just and compassionate (and also family oriented), borders on being truly offensive. The fact that its 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. --Andy Spletzer
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.
