i mean Pierfrancesco Favino's comments at venice film fest
Oh I was just reading an article about that. To be honest my opinion on this matter is that, setting aside the movie and the actors. I agree with the cultural appropriation argument.
Now, will Adam Driver pull his weight and deliver a performance? Yes, I love him for his craft and talent.
But could they have given the role to an Italian actor to portray a pivotal and important person in Italian history? Yes, I believe so.
The world isn't scarce for talent, and it works for any role that is based off an ethnicity or race. Cause if that isn't done right, it just feels like an attempt at mocking the people who belong to a particular ethnicity or race.
