[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Love the diversity of the cast, too!

I read that Julian Fellows (Downton, Belgravia) defends only casting white people. This shows that a diverse cast in a period piece works![/quote]

New poster.

I STRONGLY recommend you stream the 2019 movie "The Personal History of David Copperfield" if you want to see colorblind castithat is so well done it...doesn't even draw attention to itself. It's a gorgeous film in every way -- the script, the cast, the visuals. I'm a big admirer of Dickens novels and think the casting is great. Dev Patel is David and there is a LOT of other colorblind casting. It. Doesn't. Matter. Maybe it helps that the style of the movie is such that it's got surreal touches, so it's not obviously going for any "we're accurately reproducing actual history here" vibe. It really is a lovely film and the performances are terrific.

Full disclosure, I haven't seen any of "Bridgerton" yet so this isn't a comment on that series or its casting. Just wanting to let people know about this film.

You can stream it legit but cheaply on Vudu. I'm becoming a big fan of Vudu-- you do NOT have to pay for a subscription but just pay per movie or TV show and it can be quite inexpensive![/quote]

Off-topic I know, but I HATED this version of David Copperfield. I have no issues with colorblind casting and like Dev Patel pretty well in it. His David was a little manic, but overall well done. But oh what they did to Agnes. I loved Agnes because she was smart, steady, but had a backbone when she needed to. And in the end she won the day. Agnes in this movie was some alternate character. And I didn't care for how Dora was written out. I just thought it was a mess - an attempted improvement on a story that didn't need it.[/quote]
