[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry. But I think the remake of the magnificent  seven worked just fine with Denzel and lee byung+hun. I think the new Mary Poppins is fine. Hamilton is great. Drunk History"s diverse casting works for me

Is it really worth your time and energy to rail on about artistic choices?

you don't sound thoughtful or interesting. Even if it is not your intention, it just comes of bigoted and closed-minded[/quote]

It's fascinating how quickly people accuse others with differing views as bigoted and close-minded. Especially as to do so says far more about you than the other poster. How old are you? I find it's kids who have these very black and white views of how the world should be and scream bigotry and racism when someone else takes a more nuanced perspective. It's a bit of a shame as we could have a great discussion on how the past should be portrayed and the inappropriateness of casting different types of people in different historical roles but no, we must resort to childish name callings and typical adolescence style belittlement.

So you would be totally fine and non-judgmental if Disney made a movie with white actors playing Zulu warriors? I suppose to make it even more Hallmark-worthy we could come up with a story of a Boer baby being adopted by a Zulu tribe ;) [/quote]
