Television Queen of England Actress, WUT?

[esotamoc]

I'm sure per usual people will bitch and whine while ignoring the long history of whitewashing roles in Hollywood. That's always different for.... some reason.

its not different, its just as shit.

They give zero fucks after Black Achilles. Remember when everyone was talking about that. Yeah you won’t remember this either.

The worst example of this is that black guy casually hanging around town in the beauty and the beast remake. Meanwhile the reality of that era was that black people in france were either shunned, killed for witchcraft, or slaves.

Its so fucking insensitive and if i was a reincarnated black frenchman from that era id literally go blow up the disney hq.

This is not progressive, its regressive.

 

[Halge]

She is gorgeous

That's not the point goddamnit!

 

[jefferz]

Is that Joshua Jackson?

 

[Ares Black]

Is that Joshua Jackson?

Yes. They are married.

That article says it's re-imagining and isn't a period piece. I'm not sure if it might be a modern day re-imagining from reading it or not. It's not very clear.

If it's set at the time then it's obviously historically inaccurate (but probably no more so than the amount of American accents British historical characters have had in movies), if it's a modern day version, then they can do what they want with it.

That kind of thing isnt really anything new when it comes to say Shakespear, loads of adaptations/plays that are deliberately not historically accurate.

 

[jefferz]

Yes. They are married.

Does he have cancer? He looks like shit.

That Richard Madden BBC series The Bodyguard came to mind, the police/security services were full of women and ethnic minorities in a fashion I'm guessing not at all reflective of reality.

When does diversity become propaganda? giving the public a false impression of racism/sexism/etc being dealt with via the fiction they consume?

 

[Rimbaud82]

I read something saying that apparently the modern American accent is closer to Medieval/Tudor English accents than modern English accents, so maybe that's more accurate.

Well thats total nonsense.

Thing is, people haven’t. People have been bitching about it for a long time. Hollywood just refused to listen since they thought they had to cast a famous white person in the role or it wouldn’t sell.

Apparently there is a new British TV series on Henry VIII, and they selected Jodie Turner-Smith to play Queen Anne Boleyn. I think they most definitely nailed the casting and the resemblance is uncanny. I'm looking forward to future Malcolm X biopic starring Jacky Chan and Nelson Mandela remakes featuring Mel Gibson.

Wait.... So they are going to do a tv show where an actor pretends to be something they aren't?

I don’t know I mean didn’t people really love black-face stage actors in the 1900s in America.

“Are.” On tv. Were not.

It's definitely questionable, and I think the 'science' behind historical accent study is a little iffy. But there is apparently something to the idea of American accents preserving some older English accents.

Does he have cancer? He looks like shit.

He always did, and now he's old too.
