2012 the movie is fucking racist !!
Me and my friends went to see this movie this Saturday.If you are unaware of this movie (which i doubt you guys are) this concept of the movie is simple “The world coming to an end (in 2012 of course) , go save your asses !!” If you haven’t seen this movie please don’t read the text ahead as the post contains spoilers.
So this movie shows how an INDIAN scientist discovers that the neutrinos from sun are heating up the earth core, finally destabilizing and causing chaos throughout the world. This movie goes around how humans will save themselves and about how John Cusack will save his family. Seriously this guy is a fucking Superman and too damn lucky. All the stunts he pulled off in the movie, driving Limousine thru crashing buildings , driving Bentley out of crashing plane , staying underwater for like 10 minutes… unbelievable (not to mention he has a look on his face like he wants to give you a blowjob)
Anyways so in the movie the US President gathers all the Heads of the States to discuss this grave situation. But hey wait… where is the Indian President… okay never mind its just a meeting..
So the movies goes by showing some really neat special effects and other stuff. And when the world seems to be coming to an end they send a message to all the important people on earth (basically the ones who paid a billion dollars for the tickets and other important people on earth) to board their Arks , and well guess what yet again none of them is Indian . They have people from Russia , China , UK , Italy , France , the Gulf Countries etc. but yeah no Indian.
To this i would like to add , when the Indian Scientist says to his wife “Hamein hamara saaman pack karna hai” —-> wtf ? dude ? that is not how we Indians talk. The guy is an Indian why are you giving him the American accent ? and yeah he dies in the movie as well like the other Indians
Now to summarize you are giving no recognition to the guy or his country who discovered the phenomena and on top of that you are mocking the whole country by giving him a funny accent. This is not cool people , not cool at all.

My blog gets into it in more detail but
It is so pro African it’s scary.
“AFRICA HAS RISEN”
2 Black men save the world.
Sailing toward “The Cape of Good Hops) & change ?
Your observances are noted as well.
This movie REEKS of political messages.

Anyone know who the actor is that played the Indian scientist? Seemed maddeningly familiar…
I agree that this movie was American ethnocentricism as usual – “If you want to give up your ticket for a Chinese worker, go ahead…”
the african american scientist is weak and ineffective because after all his displays of conscience, he gets on board and DOES Not give up the ticket for anyone else.
Amanda Peet and the kids were really annoying too

The Indian Scientist is Jimi Mistry. The same guy who played Ramu in The Guru (one crap movie if you ask me).. here is his imdb page

racist? yeah. I guess. Im malay, i dont even c anything bout malays. Apparently were wiped out of the world.
But chill you guys. The message, like you said, is – the world is ending save yourself- so lets not go into racial matters.

Of course its a racist in nature. Africa was excluded in the proceedings. Africa was considered irrelevant. There was no indication whatsoever that africa would survive during the whole chaos. This is a bad movie!

Exactly my point.. and guess what Africa Survives..

I just saw this movie. As soon as I finished watching the movie the first thing I googled was, why there is no Indian prime minister in the movie? . And this is how I found out this blog. I was glad to see that someone thinks like me that the movie is good but its not fair on the part of India or Indians, one of who saved everyone’s asses by discovering about neutrinos whom these racist people did not even consider. I was so freaked out too when that Indian guy says ““Hamein hamara saaman pack karna hai””..wtf dude? get an ass!

So true..

Is this another spike lee joint?? yeah the movie is a bit racist. In the end of the movie africa is the only continent remaining on earth. All other countries are obliterated by the giant earthquakes , super floods and mega tsunamis.Africa receives not even a scratch! In reality africa would be flooded and destroyed just like the rest of the world.

OK. First of all: It’s just a movie, and for that matter an American movie, and a ridiculous, lowest common denominator ‘blockbuster’ at that . If Emmerich wanted to, he could have written a part for a Pakistani to make the crucial discovery, without drastically affecting the storyline, but he wrote it for an Indian, so what are you guys talking about? India got represented.
There are a whole bunch of countries whose heads of state didn’t feature, or didn’t get repped at all. The world is a big place, and this movie is good for little more than entertainment
I couldn’t help but notice that Europe still seemed to be okay at the end as well.

People are blowing this out of propotion, its just a movie for cring out loud. And in reality it is possible for Africa not to be flooded, especially South Africa since most of it is way above sea level. Im South African, and seeing that Africa made it without a scratch and RSA was acknowledged made the movie worth watching, its about time Africa got credit for something good and not bad things like war and poverty for a change.

They made the continent of Africa survive b/c first human life began in Africa. It only makes sense that the NEW age of humanity starts there also.

seriously though…
at least the other continents got some representation as heads of state, but africa got nothing. im pretty sure i only saw about 4 black guys the entire movie.
did the film makers feel bad at the end, and thats why they had to make africa all okay? did they realize at the very end ‘oh shit, what about all the black people?’ ‘meh, i guess well just say that africa survived. then thatll be how africans DONT go extinct.’
whatever. i hate black people anyway. i liked the movie better without them.
