I remember a movie from a few years back with Margot Robbie playing Queen Elizabeth I. Her ladies in waiting were asian and black. I’m not the most historically literate but I’m pretty sure QE1’s court was not comprised of Chinese and sub-saharan courtiers. It ruined the whole movie, there was no way you could feel you were watching an accurate depiction of historical events with such silliness on display. The movie flopped, largely for that reason I’d argue. I’m sure the producers high fived themselves over their diversity stance but to most normal people it’s just ridiculous and makes us lose interest quickly.
It ruins movies for me, too. I’d rather have historical accuracy than political correctness. But I guess too many people will scream and holler if there isn’t diversity in the movie. Liberals have ruined movies like everything else.
