Why Diversity is Ruining Movies

 

[Johan]

Diversity is not ruining movies.
Yes there are some cases in which movies producers choose to hire a black acor even though the character they are supposed to play is white. But for decades we've seen the opposite and no one complained.

When Auda Abu Tayi, an arab leader, was played by Alec Guiness, an english actor, no one complained.
When Liz Taylor was hired to play Egyptian Queen Cleopatra, no one complained.
But don't you dare have blacvk actors playing WW2 english soldiers, the alt-right won't accept it...

You're wrong. Also, Egyptians are not and were not black.

 

[Johan]

I'm wrong ?
Explain. What is wrong ?
Am I rong to say that, for decades white actors have played roles of non-white people. A I wrong ot think that, because of that, non-white actors playing roles of white characters is no big deal ?

Egyptiens are not blacks, that's true. But they aren't whites either


These are egptian women

As you can see, Liz doesn't have the exact skin tone of an egyptian woman

That video is nothing but logical fallacies. All the surviving DNA and artwork is only from that hundredth of a percent that ruled Egypt! Nowhere on the video is anything from 99.99% that made up the rest of ancient Egyptian life. And the few hundred years after Alexander conquered Egypt the Pharoahs were 100% Greek and so inbred that Cleopatra had only 2 great grandparents, where most people have 16.

The video was created by someone who is an actual Egyptian.

You mean kinda like having Charlton Heston and Jeffery Hunter portray Jesus? lol
Blue-eyed Charlton was also cast as Moses lol

Actually watch the video.

Actually watch the video.

Sorry but I don't have any particular interest in what some nobody on the internet posts to youtube from the comfort of his mother's basement.
How about you address my point instead. Or not. This is such a tempest in a teapot "issue" it doesn't move the blood pressure meter one iota.

How do you know he's a "nobody" and he lives in his parents home?


Unless you watch the video you really don't have an opinion.

Probably because anybody with a webcam can become a youtube warrior, which is a terrific reason to avoid much of what gets uploaded there.
But perhaps I'm wrong. Are you aware of him having notable journalistic credentials?
At least he has the good sense to cover his chest hair, unlike that other guy you and meester are so enamored with.

I watched the first two minutes. That was more than plenty. Have heard the same song before. Tempest in a teapot.

Now go watch Heston part the Red Sea

What he says is much different than you would think.
