最近Netflix埃及豔后影集找黑人Adele James飾演埃及豔后造成不小爭議
對此導演Tina Gharavi出來說話了
‘Cleopatra was Greek!’ Oh, Lawd! Why would that be a good thing to you,
Amir? You’re Egyptian.”
有個埃及人跟導演說 埃及豔后是個希臘人
對此導演表示 這樣對你有什麼好處 你是埃及人耶
“After 300 years, surely, we can safely say Cleopatra was Egyptian. She
was no more Greek or Macedonian than Rita Wilson or Jennifer Aniston. Both
are one generation from Greece. Why shouldn’t Cleopatra be a melanated
sister? And why do some people need Cleopatra to be white? Her proximity to
whiteness seems to give her value, and for some Egyptians it seems to really
matter.”
導演表示 為什麼埃及豔后不能是黑皮膚的姊妹呢?
“What the historians can confirm is that it is more likely that Cleopatra
looked like Adele than Elizabeth Taylor ever did.”
導演表示 比起伊莉莎白泰勒 埃及豔后一定長得更像我們的黑人女主Adele James
She summed up, “So, was Cleopatra Black? We don’t know for sure, but we can
be certain she wasn’t white like Elizabeth Taylor. We need to have a
conversation with ourselves about our colorism, and the internalized white
supremacy that Hollywood has indoctrinated us with.”
導演表示 雖然不確定埃及豔后一定是黑人 但一定不像於伊莉莎白泰勒那麼白
覺得有問題的一定都是被好萊塢灌輸的白人至上主義害的
Lead actress James took to Twitter on April 13 to respond to backlash at her
casting, writing, “Cleopatra was a queen, not a slave. If you don’t like
the casting don’t watch the show. Or do & engage in (expert) opinion
different to yours. Either way, I’M GASSED and will continue to be!”
最後 這部的女主Adele James也在個人推特表示 不喜歡就不要看
“Queen Cleopatra” is narrated by Jada Pinkett Smith, who told Netflix’s
Tudum that the project was to “represent Black women.”
擔任旁白的Jada Pinkett Smith表示 這部是為了有個黑人女性代表
(那找個真實的黑人女性名人不是比較好嗎?)
