It was the big Discourse movie of the year, everyone had an opinion about it and about what it meant for Black representation

And it's especially ridiculous bc everyone analyzed it as Spielberg's first big attempt to go "serious" and "artistic"

Is it worth noting that Danny Glover was first-billed in Color Purple, and Whoopi got a "and introducing" credit?

the "and introducing" thing is for people making their 1st feature when the studio thinks they will be a big star: "you saw them here first"

Although "is" should probably be "was", since it isn't really used, and aside from Goldberg and Robin Wright (Princess Bride) (more)

...I can't think of many who had that credit who we really ever heard from again :)

I remember them using that to introduce the lead girl in Hairspray (the movie musical, not the original w Rikki Lake)
