Referencing Reddit and Morgan Freeman with what seems to be a Pixar clip. I'm boarding this karma train.

[–]akkan 20 points21 points ago

Make that "Reddit's reaction to anything related to : Morgan Freeman, Bill Nye, Bill Murray, Neil DeGrasse, cleavages, Barack Obama and cats."

[–]bfogarty27 4 points5 points ago

How could you forget Zach Braff and the token gay NPH

[–]Odd_nonposter 5 points6 points ago

And Gaben, Skyrim, nintendo, Valve...

And pretty much whatever /r/circlejerk has going on.

Is it the end of Up? I can't figure this out and I'm usually quite good at knowing my animated films...

[–]PabbleDabble 1 point2 points ago

Up (Spoiler)

The opening scene when her side of the family is cheering wildly in the wedding pews, and then it cuts to his side, and they're very calmly smiling.

On a note about this... I honestly don't know if I've ever cried so hard at the end of the opening of this movie. The fact that those type of movies can do so much without any dialogue is amazing...

[–]ahrsnik 4 points5 points ago

which movie is this from ?

[–]Jarpenguin 12 points13 points ago

Up

[–]Isaderp 14 points15 points ago

He's god. Enough said.

[–]comrade_leviathan 25 points26 points ago

I don't believe in god... but I believe in Morgan Freeman.

[–]DutchPrisoner 4 points5 points ago

He is Reddit's version of the magical negro

[–]thaencyder -5 points-4 points ago

And you're a Reddit's version of Super Idiot.

[–]DutchPrisoner 7 points8 points ago

If you read the link, it's not a racist term. It's a term used by black people to describe the way that black people are sometimes used by white audiences as a token perfect human with mystical insights who selflessly helps white people.

[–]Pays4Porn 0 points1 point ago

From your link:

Critics use "negro" because its modern usage is now considered to be archaic and sometimes offensive. This underlines their message that a "magical black character" who goes around selflessly helping white people is an archetypal racial throwback to stereotypes such as the "Sambo" or "Noble savage".

So it's an offensive, racial throwback to stereotypes, but at least it's not a racial term?

[–]DutchPrisoner -1 points0 points ago

I think you might be misunderstanding this passage. It is the fact that "negro" is archaic and offensive that the term is used by those criticizing the use of black actors in this way. Basically, it's a way of saying, "Hollywood is using black characters as 2 dimensional perfect people in this weird way in which they can do no wrong." It's almost as if Hollywood is overcompensating for our history of racism by making the black characters the wisest of all. It's demeaning because it fails to present black people realistically, as 3 dimensional people, perpetuating the problem (in a nice way) of not having regular black people represented all of the qualities and flaws of normal people. Spike Lee uses the term "magical negro" to describe how black characters have been used in a lot of Hollywood films.

So "negro" is potentially racist, but here the term is used ironically.

[–]Pays4Porn 0 points1 point ago

You've got the definition of Magical Negro wrong, there is nothing in the definition about:

perfect people [...] they can do no wrong

Here's the definition from the wiki you linked:

The Magical Negro is typically but not always "in some way outwardly or inwardly disabled, either by discrimination, disability or social constraint," often a janitor or prisoner. He has no past; he simply appears one day to help the white protagonist. He usually has some sort of magical power, "rather vaguely defined but not the sort of thing one typically encounters." He is patient and wise, often dispensing various words of wisdom, and is "closer to the earth."

Notice the complete lack of being "perfect people" or doing "no wrong."

The link to Sambo, and Nobel Savage is key to understanding the nature of the term. If you told Spike Lee he had a Sambo, a Noble Savage, or a Magical Negro in one of his movies, you would be accusing him of using racist imagery.

I really thought that this was what I was coming here for.

[–]AyrJr 11 points12 points ago

I'm just upvoting this because it's related to Morgan Freeman.

[–]Humble_Link_Guy 20 points21 points ago

[–]idownvoteyourmom -4 points-3 points ago

and you sir, can have an upvote for mentioning him again!

[–]The_Hindu_Hammer 4 points5 points ago

[–]thegoodlifeofmusic 4 points5 points ago

Haha yes lets pretend that the Huffington post has never given anybody misleading information.

[–]ishake_well 0 points1 point ago

Not that I disagree, but this was on a lot more sites than Huffington.

[–]JabbitTheRabbit 2 points3 points ago

Yeah because everyone knows that all rumors are true.

Yes!

[–]FlaredNostrils 1 point2 points ago

I wish I could. Well, really, I wish it just was not true.

[–]Saurolophus -2 points-1 points ago

SERIOUSLY! This is the only thing I can think of when I see Morgan Freeman. Everything he has done professionally is tainted by his personal life for me. Bleh. Gross.

[–]EatingSteak 0 points1 point ago

This is the only thing I can think of

Why don't you "think of" the credibility of the sources instead of being mindlessly disgusted? His ex-wife said some really bad but unproven things about him. An ex-spouse would never do something like that, right?

I'm not a Morgan Freeman fan by any means, but I'm not blind to bullshit.

[–]newtothelyte 2 points3 points ago

I see r/guns is in the building. :)

[–]EatingSteak 0 points1 point ago

He pretty much lost me when he pulled the race card about Obama.

[–]Zeldagon 3 points4 points ago

I think its kinda funny that no one realizes hes married to his ex wifes daughter whom he adopted.

[–]master_of_none 8 points9 points ago

Wikipedia says that some tabloids spread rumors that they were in a relationship, which they both denied. Where are you getting your information from?

[–]Kwyjibo2006 4 points5 points ago

Morgan Freeman isn't married.

[–]Humble_Link_Guy 14 points15 points ago

[–]arnavl 10 points11 points ago

but um.

[–]xudoxis 5 points6 points ago

Woody Allen?

[–]noshowmofo 1 point2 points ago

Watched this for an hours just so i can see all the people that were in that scene

[–]PceOut5o -1 points0 points ago

This is accurate, Morgan Freeman is the ultimate good.

[–]skater296 -1 points0 points ago

Is there any thing wrong with that. Morgan Freeman is G- d mutha fucka.

[–]sapphire22 -1 points0 points ago

Funny that every person in that is white.. just an observation.

[–]SayNo2Kryptonite 1 point2 points ago

love the guy in the far left just shaking his legs

[–]Dumpasaurus_Rex 0 points1 point ago

Because Reddit is a huge circlejerk. When they like something, they cum all over themselves to let everybody know they like it. When they don't like something, they cum all over themselves to let everybody know they don't like it. tl;dr - Lots of cuming

[–]bmorgy 0 points1 point ago

Everyone's* reaction to anything related to Morgan Freeman.

I happen to have the same birthday as Mr. Morgan Freeman. I feel as if I have been blessed, by the Morgan Freeman version of god.

[–]nidalmorra 1 point2 points ago

I fucking love GIFs that loop so seamlessly.

[–]Teh_Ent 0 points1 point ago

mby he'll make a speech like mr. Eastwood

[–]semisimian 0 points1 point ago

I posted some OC with Morgan Freeman this morning and I got nothing. Your argument is invalid.

And it was funny. Real funny.

[–]thegoodlifeofmusic 0 points1 point ago

Agreed, that post would have been front page worthy.

[–]Wippydip 0 points1 point ago

Almost the same as anything related to Barack Obama, amiright?

[–]frostbite795 1 point2 points ago

... Which is funny, because Reddit has the same reaction to anything about Gordon Freeman.

[–]scottagro 1 point2 points ago

HAVE YOU EVER HEARD MORGAN FREEMAN'S OPINIONS ABOUT BLACK HISTORY MONTH?! YES? LET ME POST THEM AGAIN.

[–]goosehysteria 0 points1 point ago

Morgan Freeman is the new 9/11. Say Morgan Freeman and the people applaud.

[–]drjohn69 1 point2 points ago

More like anything about Obama

[–]gensix -1 points0 points ago

Didn't he have some sex scandal with his granddaughter?

I assume they'd have the same reaction regardless.

[–]PublicDecency 0 points1 point ago

*morgon, Mr. President.

Insert obligatory "NUH UHHHH! I DON'T DO THAT! I'M DIFFERENT" comment here.

That obligatory second posting of the same comment

I see what you did there.

Whoops. I didn't mean to post it twice.

[–]lubeinatube -4 points-3 points ago

I dont know why everyone sucks Morgan Freemans dick. Ive got to hand i to him though, hes got a hell of a publicist, because barely anyone knows that he married his step-granddaughter.

[–]thaencyder 1 point2 points ago

You're confusing him with Woody Allen. Nice try tho, since it was never proved.

[–]fennesz 0 points1 point ago

Morgan Freeman is objectively The Best Person.
