Exaggerated rather than enormous.
I also hate it when actors act.
Did I understand well? Somebody said that only a Jew can play a historical figure of Jewish nationality?
Would it also be a problem if a non-Ukrainian Jewish person played her?
“she “disagreed” with Mirren’s casting “because the Jewishness of the character is so integral. I’m sure she will be marvellous, but it would never be allowed for Ben Kingsley to play Nelson Mandela. You just couldn’t even go there.”
I don’t remember Black Anne Boleyn being an issue for anyone in the industry.
That’s quite a nerve on them, because the directors and producers constantly replace characters with established ethnicity with ‘diversity’ castings all the time. Black Anne Boleyn anybody?
[Or the strange case with loads of fictional redhead characters being replaced with blacks in new renditions and reboots contrary to the source material.](https://i.imgur.com/e80A62p.png)
