doppelganger 4,021 Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 I’m brown and i kind of don’t give a f**k. How authentic can Disney really be telling these kinds of stories? In any case them being able to get 400 out of 500 “brown” extras in the UK seems like a lot no? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
babs 5,093 Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 I do love Disney to death too but seriously how dumb can they be? Ugh just hold an audition, look through Bollywood, There are SO many brown actors trying to get a part anywhere, you take their story and then just have the same ol' white people get the parts? Dude... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SychosSoChic 9,995 Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Are the core cast accurately cast? Yes? Are most of the extras and featured extras cast brown? Yes? Then I can forgive this, and reading the article...I can...Accept their reasoning. But dear God, pray the makeup department did the bronzer well, or we are all going to notice and Disney will have to spend a fortune on PR to recover from what the Internet will do to them Life ain't Hollywood for any one of us.

Head Empty 27,115 Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Disney claims they only did it in instances when they needed actors/extra's with "speciality skills" or certain actors for safety reasons. Aka stuntmen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Temptation 11,209 Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Well it is a big budget, so of course they would waste mo money on: - white actors - lots of brown make up Instead of simply hiring already brown-skinned actors. But no... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mister max 18,480 Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Did anyone read the articles tho? A Disney spokesman told BBC Newsbeatthat cast and crew members were "made up to blend in" only in "a handful of instances when it was a matter of specialty skills, safety and control," such as when stunt artists or animal handlers were required. (...) Disney have stressed that "more than 400 of the 500 background performers were Indian, Middle Eastern, African, Mediterranean and Asian." other article: “Diversity of our cast and background performers was a requirement and only in a handful of instances when it was a matter of specialty skills, safety and control (special effects rigs, stunt performers and handling of animals) were crew made up to blend in.” The media meltdown was because everyone thought all 500 people were put in "brownface" when only 100 people were put in it, which now caused even more stir because people find it weird they could find 400 actual "brown" people and not 500 Buy ARTPOP on itunes or smth?

PsychicGuru 1,592 Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 ... why don’t they hire Arabic/Indian actors instead of doing this crap? Absolutely ridiculous. Gaga's #1 fan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sailor 3,321 Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 I really don't know how I feel about this. On one hand, I think, in the name of art, you should be able to do whatever you want. But, as everyone's pointing out, there's no reason why they can't hire real Indian people. bannedT for life and it's SAD Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was filmed in the U.K., which is predomently white. So of course its not gonna be easy to hire middle eastern people. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
