Ch 5 - Anne Boleyn

dailymail/tvshowbi...l-5-drama.html

As a black actress is cast to play Anne Boleyn in a Ch 5 programme that they claim will challenge convention... one has ask is this the case or merely “box ticking”?

Imagine if they cast a white actor to play Mandela ? Would that also be a case of challenging convention?

How can history be so easily re-written?

Though to be honest I’d expect something like this from the BBC!

Thoughts?

Cultural appropriation ?

personally i think its crazy to do this... what next Bob Marley biopic with Nicole Kidman in the lead role to 'challenge convention'

fwiw i also found this strange in the musical Hamilton , a black actor playing George Washington...

Im struggling to get my head round it to be honest. Its factually and historically incorrect but that clearly cant be pointed out. Very strange.

I remember there was similar uproar when Matt Damon, a white actor with no antenna played the Martian instead of a green actor with antenna.
