Racist film

Again, we are talking specifically about THIS film and the zero representation in THIS film and the poor excuse of historical "accuracy". All in a film featuring Mel Gibson and hundreds of Scots in kilts when there weren't any at that time! But, hey that's ok, as long as there aren't any non whites in it, eh? 😂

Seriously, by this logic are you equally offended by seeing white actors in futuristic sci-fi productions?

Are you spitting your chips out in the same manner, waaaaahing about that too, going "but, but... There won't be any racially pure white people hundreds of years in the future, so this is unrealistic to the time period, bla, bla, boo, hoo..."

I didn't miss what you were saying, I was attempting to lampoon the stupidity of it (no offense).

We are not making films in the fourteenth century, we are making them now.

Funnily enough, I made that very point about Zulu in another thread months ago:-

Exactly. This is what these good, honest, guardians of history / definitely not racists need to understand.

Just wait until the inevitable remake of Zulu comes along and Michael Caine and all the rest of his heroic Imperialist British Empire Officer buddies have been replaced by Michael B Jordan, John David Washington, etc.

When we are all cheering them on as they blast down hordes of white spear wielding savages, they will be spraying out their coffee, proclaiming "No, no, stop the film! This is an affront to historic accuracy! These chaps would have been the blacks and the officers gunning them down would have been white, this is ALL WRONG! For historical accuracy's sake we simply MUST see whites gunning down blacks!!!" but by then it will be too late.

No one will even listen to their genuine argument of the merits of racial segregation of actors for the sacred good of historical accuracy as they will long since have been discredited by any remotely moderate thinking person as racists for moping over the casting in fantasy productions such as this.

One which has the girl from Stranger Things playing the later day fabricated teenage sister of the world's most famous Detective; adapted from a children's novel which itself rips off fictional works from over a century ago
