Northern Africans in ancient Egypt definitely looked like that

Are you referring to the light skin? If so, I thought they really were light skinned. Not the average Egyptian but I thought that to be a higher ranking person in the ancient Egyptian society you needed to be white.
not true at all.Are you referring to the light skin? If so, I thought they really were light skinned. Not the average Egyptian but I thought that to be a higher ranking person in the ancient Egyptian society you needed to be white.
Stop Hollywood by turning off ur TV and not paying use to that succubus.
Wake me up when they make a flick on mansa musa or the moors taking Italy
I...I just don't care. It's a movie, for the most part I accept its not historically accurate, if it is that's amazing footage. How'd they get all those sweeping angles? Didn't know they even had cameras back then. Question, was there always dramatic music playing? Most importantly Bale looks great to be over a thousand years old.
It's a movie.
No, it's not just a movie. It's movies, it's tv, it's comics, it's video games. It's every aspect of our lives as minorities, we see whites playing roles that can be played by anyone. Movies like lord of the rings? you can't have a black elf, but you got trees that walk and talk, **** outta here. Noah? You can't have minorities, because then it will look like we're trying too hard, so the white man is the every man. ****, I can't even take my kids to see a black santa claus but one day out of the week during christmas time. Every major video game character is white unless I'm playing a sport, or can create my own. This is since childhood, minorities don't get to see themselves in fictitious roles. It's crap.
I feel like that's a failure on your part. Jimmy Hendrix and James Brown both have major studio release movies coming out. Lets Be Cops. Think Like a Man Too, Ride Along, About Lastnight...all major studio releases, the Equalizer, Lego Movie, Belle...Major releases.
It's clear more people are hip to race in 2014, can't have it both ways. Either, everyone is more aware or people are still looking to Hollywood for history. If it was 1955 then I'd feel this thread, but in 2014, we are more aware so the influence Hollywood has is minimal. Worldstar/Instagram/twitter/Facebook does more harm than Hollywood at this point.
As such, personally I don't care. Petition, do whatever you feel is right, but you trying to take Christian Bale off screen because of his race?(which can easily be construed as racists in itself 'an Arab actor can play Moses better than a white actor' because he's Arab') we got problems.
