Yes, what I'm saying is that the technology exists to make people look like a different race, why can't it be here? I really doubt anyone should be that angry that a movie directer wants his black actor to look like a traditionally white god from a region with no genuine connections to black people.Technicka said:RDJ's role in Tropic Thunder was a satire of method acting. The whole joke was that he was that serious about his roles that he went and made himself black in the name of being authentic to his character. His use of blackface was a nod to some of the more outlandish things method actors have done. It was also taking a pot shot at Hollywood's lack of diversity - the pool of big names for the fake movie to pull from for ethnic actors was so empty that they had no choice but to cast a white guy for a black character.
We've already done it with white people like them becoming a Persian or an Asian warrior, how would this be offensive?
