Carbon Copy is one of the most racially offensive movies made.
Before asking why Denzel Washington agreed to appear in it, you must understand his career was at the nascent stage. He
had to take the role in order to move up the ladder before he would become Denzel Washington as we know him today. So far,
he won't talk about this film.
What's surprising is the year it was made in. I thought Hollywood was wise enough to
move past that point. Worse yet, it was directed by a black director. Didn't he have the foresight that it was a terrible racist
piece of work? Shame on everybody, especially George Segal, for taking part in this.
All in all, Carbon Copy isn't funny.
