There is a lot of highly critical discourse around the Last Samurai. Not current, because it’s not a current movie, but saying that it’s “okay” suggests
youthey haven’t looked for criticism.Also, weary.
Edit: clarity.
Edit2: I have since been made aware by @SkunkWorkz@lemmy.world of a different perspective that makes a lot more sense, see comments below.
Yup, Last Samourai is 22 years old. Back then a lot of social issues have not been widely discussed.
It’s an actor ACTING as someone else that’s the whole point of ACTING. People need to stop with this bullshit.
How do you act like you have black skin, for instance?
You’re right. We should absolutely, not once, not ever, have a person who doesn’t perfectly, down to the finest detail, match the description of the character they are depicting act for that role.
I saw a local stage play of madame web where a woman played a male character. It literally wasn’t even a distraction and they sold the character well.
Commenter said Black Skin.
You said “finest detail”.
What are you smoking?
Commenter sounds like they would complain about Arial being black because her original character was white.
You really wanna defend that?
How do you act as anyone else ever? Unless you are a genetic clone of the person you must not be allowed to act!
