Bamboozled

In this satirical comedy-drama, Pierre Delacroix, a disillusioned television producer, finds himself at a crossroads when his unique sitcom idea is rejected by the network. Rather than continuing to fight an uphill battle, he decides to concoct an outrageous proposal - a modern minstrel show - hoping that it will promptly get him fired. To Pierre's surprise and chagrin, the network not only greenlights his ill-conceived idea but the show unexpectedly becomes a cultural phenomenon. This witty film explores themes of race, popularity, and the absurdity of mass media through the lens of Pierre's struggle to reconcile his principles with career success.
