Bright: Chance the Rapper criticises Will Smith film over 'allegorical racism'

Chance the Rapper has criticised the underlying racial messages in the Netflix film Bright. The hip-hop star turned to Twitter to initiate a discussion with fans about Bright and said using “mythical creatures” to express America’s racial issues in the film were “a little shallow.” [caption id=“attachment_4268937” align=“alignnone” width=“992”] Will Smith and Joel Edgerton in Bright.

Directed by David Ayer, and starring Will Smith, Noomi Rapace and Joel Edgerton, Bright revolves around a human LAPD officer and his Orc companion as they patrol the streets. They battle their prejudice and mistrust to protect a relic, which in the wrong hands, could destroy the world.
