[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Two things I’ve read about the movie turned me off from seeing it.

1. The recent interview where the director explained why she made Heathcliff white. She removed race as a theme entirely because that’s how she saw him when she read it as a teenager? Rolled my eyes so hard.

2. Walls made of skin? Eww. Not my thing.[/quote]

Of course she pictured him as white, because she is white. White people always center themselves. Kind of like how in most churches Jesus is blond and blue eyed.  :roll: [/quote]

Bless your heart.  Not enough eye rolls for you.

It's just true. DCUM is really showing its racist ass today, between this thread and the one where everyone is vehemently refuting the idea of microaggressions. [/quote]

Please just stop trying to turn everything into a racist “microaggression.”  Re: this movie, there is no evidence that Heathcliff was actually another race, just that he was dark and “gypsy-like.”  That is widely open to interpretation, as several posters have already explained in detail.  And again, this a FICTIONAL character, unlike those in Hamilton who were indisputably white people but were cast as POC.  Funny how that doesn’t outrage you.

Perhaps someone should make a film or show about Harriet Tubman, Frederick Douglass, et al but cast them with white people.  I’d just love to see your indignation over that.[/quote]
