Autism joke in the "21 Jump Street" movie

Post Reply New Topic

IS this in the actual movie or was it cut?

Liked how Tatum said "it is artistic". i HATE Ice Cube now...jk

I'm...still watching it though. Though I know how it feels like to get offended.

It's in the actual movie. Breezed right past me at the time though. I thought the rest of the movie was really funny.

If you don't believe in the criminal justice system then you are autistic.

Looked like a male rip-off of Never Been Kissed, anyway. Glad I didn't see it.

People cannot focus intently on more than a few things at a time, especially in a society as easily distracted as this one.

As for the video, I'm won't be offended by comments like this unless the majority start believing them and legislation or social norms get affected. Stereotypes gain power when we allow them to integrate into what we feel is "common sense" and change society's behavior. It is more difficult for that to happen today than it used to be, given how diverse individual interests have become.

When I saw the movie, I actually found this comment a little bit clever, and certainly not insulting. He was commenting on the fact that the two guys got all bogged down in the details (the relationships between all the students etc.) instead of just getting the basic information that he wanted (who the supplier is).

A more intelligent "mockery" of autism than those you normally hear, that shows the writers actually know a bit about what autism is.

Terrible movie though.

I like this interpretation.

I'd be insulted also if I saw or heard something like that in a movie.

I don't see why ANYONE with Autism should be bothered. The film looks like utter shite anyway, anyone who watches it and enjoys it probably has an IQ of under 75 anyway, so..

I'm more offended that its yet another remake and that millions of people will pay money to go and see another redux of some 30 year old garbage because Hollywood isn't creative enough to come up with anything original any more. People don't value freedom enough and need to grow a backbone if you ask me. If you don't like the movie don't go and see it. I personally won't see it purely on the grounds that its a remake. It seems over the past decade or so its gone from people wanting to be treated fairly into people becoming paranoid fascists. If you don't like a movie, don't watch it. Turn it around and think how it would feel to be forced to watch this!

It's not about creativity, its about money. Investors are not interested in what is new, they are interested in what gets a return. Time-tested formulas that people pay to see or rehashed popular content get green-lighted more than original material.
