Context #NewspaperUKBrdshtTheGuardianHannaFlint "With that in mind, the criticism of Gadot's casting is understandable. The film industry has long had a frustrating habit of whitewashing history and movies about Cleopatra - thanks to white actors such as Elizabeth Taylor, Hildegard Neil, Claudette Colbert and Vivien Leigh - have cemented her western appearance on screen. Gadot in the role continues this trend, but it's not as clear-cut as that. The actor does tick the box for Middle Eastern and north African (MENA) representation, so she's not as western a choice as either Angelina Jolie or Lady Gaga would have been - who had both previously been linked to the role. But it still perpetuates a white standard of foreignness. It's a situation similar to that of Naomi Scott, an actor of mixed English and Indian ancestry who was cast as Jasmine in the recent Aladdin remake. Scott is just 'other' enough to mean that the film-makers could not be accused of whitewashing (though it's still unclear which ethnicity anyone is meant to be in Disney's orientalist fantasy), but it's still an example of cultural ventriloquism that sees the continued bias towards light-skinned minorities who adhere to a western aesthetic." https://www.theguardian.com/film/2020/oct/14/gal-gadot-cleopatra-backwards-step-for-hollywood-representation #IRLActorElizabethTaylor, #IRLActorHildegardNeil, #IRLActorClaudetteColbert and #IRLActorVivienLeigh #IdentityMiddleEasternAndNorthAfricanMENA #IRLActorAngelinaJolie #IRLCelebrityLadyGaga #IRLActorNaomiScott #2019_Aladdin [Wikipedia] #FictionalCharacterPrincessJasmine #OtheringCaricatureImperialismOriental #BrandDisney #PowerControlExclusionWhitewashing
