Casting a black actor as a Lehman brother would have confused the actual story of particular immigrants and how they dealt with their particular situation. Why? I wondered that too. Surely the audience is sopisticated enough to understand that in this scene Adrian Lester is playing a Jewish Lehman brother and in the next scene he is playing one of their slaves? After all, we all accepted that Adam Godley was sometimes a Brother and sometimes a Wife Meanwhile, on another note, I am thrilled to see that diverse casting is finally reaching the cinema with this new film of David Copperfield starring Dev Patel, Benedict Wong and Peter Capaldi www.theguardian.com/film/2018/aug/17/why-dev-patel-in-dickens-could-change-film-for-ever |
