Here, I remember, Zhirinovsky wept that Anna Karenina at the end of Tolstoy's novel (in fact - not at the end, it seems he did not read the novel) throws under the train. Therefore, the novel needs to be rewritten, the movie about Anna to be filmed again, and so on.
And I remember the performance of "Anna Karenina" in London, where Anna is played by a Negro (who can't imagine - plus, enjoy: https://vimeo.com/126356324).
I talk to an Englishman, I complain about the "unnatural color of skin" of the heroine of the classical work. He (white) begins to blow, like "racism", la-la, topol... All races are equal, all actors are equal, have the right to play whoever they want...
I said, “Not a question. Name at least one American film where George Washington is played by an African-American.
The Song.
“Okay. The example is simpler. Name a film in which Martin Luther King is played by a Chinese or Hindu. Or at least white.”
Another singing.
“Well, for the rest, name a movie where the Queen of England is played – no matter whether it’s a Hindu, Chinese, Arab. Again, equality is so equal as it is for gender preferences – where the Queen of England is played by a Hindu, a Chinese, or an Arab.”
Silence and depression.
"Well, what kind of hell is this unknown who (what beautiful actress she was) plays a Russian nobleman from the higher world?"
A compressed whisper and unclear apologies for the English theatre.
