And before you come for me, I know that a woman of Gaga's heritage and lineage would be accurate, but the general population believes that Cleopatra was black because she was in Egypt and Egypt is in Africa and of course, Africans are black. We know this isn't the case, but it isn't super clear for most people. So we have to lie for the best? At this point we should just erase Cleo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lighter 15,376 Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 Whatever I’m just excited to hear her say in interviews for the movie “I’ve been dreaming of being Cleopatra since I was 2 years old” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
yes and 4,884 Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 10 hours ago, Dulo Peep said: So Angelina should? Cleopatra was greek and Macedonian, and Gaga is Italian, italians are part Greeks too Look how much backlash Gal Gadot got, even though she looks mediterranean. Imagine what happen when Gaga will get the role. Did you think I'd show up in a limousine? No Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shane_c 480 Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 Im glad Gaga isnt in that other movie with Gadot. That's going to be "a popcorn movie" that could be crap. Its being written by someone that just writes Hollywood movies. Its too bad its being made though because they may think there isn't demand for another one. The Cleopatra movie Gaga may be in is based on a historical novel. It'd be a more serious artistic film that's suppose to be "the true story". So since that's different from the Gadot popcorn movie that may be a good reason to still make it . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bradley 59,150 Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 As tempting as it sounds, I think Gaga will have multiple job offers to choose from so she can choose other roles that won't stir up this controversy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen Bitch 10,513 Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 I never heard that they were making a sci fi Cleopatra movie? All reports say that it's a political thriller, but no one is mentioning sci fi. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This tbh, it wouldnt be problematic per se to me but i would love to see an arab actor. Hollywood's idea of representation is always black/asian but diversity would be nice That said i would love to see Gaga even more in this, i dont care about this stuff enough to forgo it for sickening shots of Gaga as cleopatra. I'll log off twitter and the internet for a week and there wont be any controversy as far as im concerned chaeri pls Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunny 12,736 Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 This movie is such a double-edged sword. It can be one of the biggest movies of recent times (like the Cleopatra with Elizabeth Taylor was), earn massive acclaim and get Gaga everything; at the same time, movies this big have a high chance of critical failure (it will gross big nonetheless), and the movie script can be done badly and can be offensive to marginalized groups. Maybe it's best she stays away from this movie, but Gaga was always known to take risks. I like dancin', and ponies.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
