Isn’t it a fictional book? I don’t see it as historical.
“Isn’t it a fictional book? I don’t see it as historical“
It was written by a particular man at a particular time in a particular place about particular people. You could do a Heart of Darkness>>>Apocalypse Now sort of adaption and be fine but black Robin Hood would grate fatally for me.
They don’t just stop at putting blacks into these films. They also tend to make them smarter better or more moral than anyone else around them.
I was watching some British show set in what looked like the Arthur years. Black early twenties princess who is running the whole show and schooling her 85 year old advisors on the art of warfare. It was compelling to watch just for the schoolgirlish affectation of superior intellect on the part of the princess and the grateful smile on the face of the ancient as the wisdom of her plan finally exploded in his mind. In reality the “deep plans” this princess was dealing up is stuff the old guy would have understood way back when he was an acolyte.
When I got tired of the absolute stupidity I surfed away. But it was funny while it lasted.
