She’s an actress. Actors should stay out of politics then they’d avoid this crap
Correct; Cleopatra was the last Ptolemaic ruler of Egypt, descended from Ptolemy I Soter, a Macedonian Greek general and companion of Alexander the Great.)
The Left is dumber than a sack of rocks.
She’s hot.
Andy Garcia did a great job in a bad movie “Godfather III”.
It never occurred to me that he shouldn’t have because he doesn’t have Italian roots.
Al Pacino played a hispanic dude in Carlito’s Way and a Cuban in Scarface.
Who the hell cares?
perhaps we need to repsond to all the ‘critics’ that you don’t like the choices, maybe make your own movie with your own money, otherwise stfu crybully virtue signalling snowflake
Cleopatra also didn’t have stunning legs.
Both the Greeks and the Egyptians were adverse to their women wearing makeup. That was a smart thing because makeup to lighten the skin was derived from mercury.
“Susanna Hoffs is smoking hot.”
Maybe so, but at 61 getting a bit ling in the tooth to play a hot Egyption queen.
Did these same butt sniffers complain about Hamilton?
Correct.
The Ptolemaic dynasty controlled Egypt for almost three centuries (305 – 30 BCE), eventually falling to the Romans. Oddly, while they ruled Egypt, they never became Egyptian. Instead, they isolated themselves in the capital city of Alexandria, a city envisioned by Alexander the Great. The city was Greek both in language and practice. There were no marriages with outsiders; brother married sister or uncle married niece. The last Ptolemaic queen, Cleopatra VII (l. c. 69-30 BCE), remained Macedonian but spoke Egyptian as well as other languages.
Good points. They are actors after all. This reflexive PC crap is just so passe
Since Gal Gadot yeans to Imagine no possessions, I’m sure she is doing this for free, or maybe donating all her salary to feed the poor.
But a black man playing Alexander Hamilton was fine.
What is Ms. Gadot’s ethnicity? Israelis have a wide variety of ancestral and national backgrounds.
Not that it matters. It would be funny that Twitter dopes think Cleopatra was Arab, but ignorantly passionate people can be very dangerous in large groups.
The modern Jewish people are, by and large, the descendants of the Biblical Jews, a Middle Eastern people. The genetic evidence is compelling, even if you choose to deny the strong historical continuity of the Jewish religion and culture from Biblical Judah through the many centuries of exile. Choosing an Israeli Jew to play the role of Cleopatra is not much different than, say, choosing a modern English actress to play the role of a medieval German princess.
“Walk Like An Egyptian”.
I am sure she has the intelligence to let the lunatic fringe know her thinking is right. She can attack Trump, white people, Christianity, Western imperialism, colonialism, etc.
Gadot's family is of Ashkenazi Jewish (Polish-Jewish, Austrian-Jewish, German-Jewish, and Czech-Jewish) descent.
WHY IS IT NOT A ‘TRANS’ ACTOR!!! I’M OUTRAGED!!
Her Wonder Woman movie was actually quite good. Take the time to see it.
