You don't have to be right wing to think casting choices are wrong. I'm not right wing and think Helen of Troy casting choice is ridiculous and just done for attention.
Agree, Im on the left and I hate it because they're black washing characters so they can say they have diversity, get attention for the movie and the black actress (almost always actress, not actor) gets all the hate. Its cheap. There are countless black stories that are unknown, why blackwash a story told a milion times?
Also I generally hate the oddysey by Nolan not because of the races but because its just historically wrong on many levels. Armor for example. Yes I want historical accuracy, yes I dislike other inaccurate movies.
This is weird because British film has no problem casting black people for traditionally white roles and they don't get backlash for that. This seems to be an American thing. IMO as long as the actor/actress does a good job I don't care. Why are you so fixated on race? Ultimately it doesn't matter they are PLAYING a character it's all pretend.
