[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is it. I am done. Aladdin is a famous tale from the Middle East. Casting an Indian kid in the biggest Western backed retelling of this classic Muslim tale is a slap in the face of the thousands of Muslims worldwide. It was such a pivotal moment in pop culture history, to have this movie be made now with the geopolitical context of today. An Arab-American actor in the lead was not bring authenticity and understanding to this classic tale of a poor muslim boy who encounters a Jinn but also send a powerful message in cultural diplomacy by having a positive image of a Muslim in pop-culture. I am appalled and deeply saddened.[b] We are not even allowed to tell our own tales![/b][/quote] Nothing is stopping you from directing and producing your own movie. [/quote] Seriously. [/quote]
