“There are the American accents, gleaming body suits and a muddy Dunkirk palette. And then there is Lupita Nyong’o as Helen of Troy, a casting choice that recently drew racist attacks from the usual moaners of the internet, including Elon Musk, who complained it wasn’t authentic. Authenticity matters. He’s just focusing entirely in the wrong place. To many Greeks, what concerns us most about the first look at Christopher Nolan’s adaptation of Homer’s Odyssey is the whereabouts of Billy Zane (who is Greek)” Guardian UK.
Recently a Jewish actress complained about non-jewface Helen Mirren playing Golda Meir! Would it be okay if Tom Hanks played Malcom X? If Jewish and black actors complained would they be accused of being racist also or is it only white folks like Musk who can be so accused? Nobel Prize winning economist Milton Friedman said that people vote with their dollars and so if Will Smith is ever cast as Abraham Lincoln and you have an issue with that just stay home! Very likely you won’t be alone!
And that is all I’m going to say about that!
