re: Hollywood replacing white people in true stories with black actors

Have no issue with race of who is cast, really sex either as long as they are true to the source material or history.
Think of it like a school play, all hollywood really is about is playing make believe...let em have it.
What is frustrating is when they lazily remake a film and "rework" for a woke agenda
Also what is really sad, is it's a one way street...GOD forbid if a straight white actor was cast in place of a minority or gay.

With some stories, especially fictional works, race is immaterial.
It should make sense, at least in some way. Hell even in house of the dragon they do a fair bit and it doesn't detract.
But in an actual historical setting...
I think Tom Hardy is a great actor.
I don't want to see him playing Shaka Zulu because
"Oh no! This melodrama set in 17th century Poland doesn't have any 'people of color'!"
You know why? Because

I agree.
If the writing, acting, and directing are good, I really don't care.
Casting shouldn't be a distraction from the storytelling, though.
I haven't seen the new snow white, but my first impression is that I will be distracted (maybe even by the writers trying to make a point about the differences).
The entire point of great acting is to immerse the viewer into the story. To grab attention where the director wants it (which is hopefully the story).
Call out bad acting, writing, and directing. The race/sex shouldn't even be a factor.

True to the source of the material????
So you're saying if there were to be a film concentrating on Adolf Hitler, a German male, it's fine with you if a female Chinese actress has the starring role...
If so, you're beyond a moron and part of the problem.
