Tiptoes – Key Points
- How did this movie get made?
- Seriously, how in the hell did this movie 1. attain actors with very distinguished careers and 2. attain the funding for it.
- The studio tried to dress up this movie with a trailer that reframes it as a “Romantic Comedy” yet it still is a very unbalanced and offensive drama.
- This was one of the crap roles that Peter Dinklage referred to in a recent commencement address.
- Oh and you really can only watch this movie drunk to get past the plot holes the size of the grand canyon.
- Actual lines of dialogue from the film
- Rolfe: “Little People Shit.”
- Carol: “So you had a circle jerk with a bunch of little people? I would have loved to see that.”
- Steven: “I need new chromosomes!!” **Punches wall**
- This is quite literally black face with little people
- Gary Oldman is a fantastic actor but this portrayal of a little person is just down right offensive.
- It is extremely difficult to watch the performance and take anything Oldman says seriously due to the fact that he is pretending to be a little person.
- This is another example of white washing in Hollywood. Look at Mickey Rooney in Breakfast at Tiffany’s and the modern film, Gods of Egypt; putting name recognition above character/story.
