You mean like this?I'm ok with a smidge of retelling as translation from ancient texts can be tedious for sure, but overall I just was hoping for a different epic feel. I think generally the long standing interpretation was a good one with very good themes that stand the test of time. Could still be very surprised, but Ill try to temper my expectations a bit.
I dont know if I can handle another Argos moment though.
He's not playing achilles, but he is in the movie so the incels can still justify their rage and cancel the movie.
This outrage is nothing new. I remember a huge dustup when Welsh actor Jonathon Pryce was cast as The Engineer in the original Broadway production of Miss Saigon in 1990/91. "How could they cast a European as this Asian?!" Everyone seemed to ignore that The Engineer was a half-French/half-Vietnamese character who was desperately trying to get out of Vietnam for the West. Pryce had also debuted the role in the original London production in the late '80s.
But surely, from a sheer volume of opportunities perspective, you can understand how minority actors being denied roles is more sympathetic than white actors being denied roles
That is the argument though. John is saying that there aren't many Cuban roles, it should go to a Cuban. That isn't the case for white roles and actors. Is your issue that it isn't spelled out for you explicitly? You'd have to be willfully ignorant to interpret it any other way
