Harriet: il casting dell’attrice Cynthia Erivo continua a scatenare polemiche
Cynthia Erivo nel ruolo di Harriet Tubman nel film biografico “Harriet” continua a suscitare polemiche.
Il casting dell’attrice britannica Cynthia Erivo nel ruolo dell’eroina afroamericana Harriet Tubman un’attrice britannica anziché un’attrice afroamericana nel film biografico Harriet ha scatenato la minaccia di boicottare il film.
Purtroppo alcuni vecchi tweet di Cynthia Erivo che deridono la cultura americana hanno contribuito al lancio dell’hashtag “BoycottHarriet”.
La talentuosa Cynthia Erivo è solo alla sua terza esperienza sul grande schermo, ma ha già vinto diversi premi tra cui Emmy, Grammy e Tony per il suo lavoro nell’adattamento Il colore viola di Broadway.
So once again, Harriet Tubman’s life is an expression of so much that makes African-American descendants of chattel slavery a unique people with a unique lineage, culture & history.
How can you portray her when you dismiss and disrespect that unique lineage, culture and history? pic.twitter.com/oNIqIHUkd9

We will not allow the hype of a prestige film to compromise our sacred ancestor Harriet’s legacy. #HarrietDeservesBetter #ADOShttps://t.co/J7Rffq6hN6

Yea, I ain’t watching this either. We are tired of our American roles going to people who don’t have the same lineage of the characters they are portraying. It’s like a dog playing the role of a cat.

#BoycottHarriet This woman is cast in the lead roll is British (automatic eyeroll to play a sacred ancestor), but she openly mocks our culture. #HarrietDeservesBetter #ADOS https://t.co/zd7iKl34fn
