Disney's ‘Aladdin’ Remake Casts White Actor, And The Twitterverse Isn't Happy
《阿拉丁神灯》真人版新增白人角色引网友不满
A recent casting choice in Disney's live-action remake of the cartoon classic, “Aladdin,” is making waves ... and not in a good way.
迪士尼最近决定重拍经典动画《阿拉丁神灯》的真人版,但在选角方面引起了轩然大波…还是负面的。
Billy Magnussen has been cast as “an original character not seen in the 1992 animated pic,” according to The Hollywood Reporter.
据《好莱坞记者报》称,电影即将加入一个由比利·马格努森饰演的全新角色,该角色并没有出现在1992的动画版中。
The character, named Prince Anders, has drawn criticism because of Magnussen’s ethnicity and the clear change to the film’s original narrative his casting entails.
新角色名为安德斯王子,该角色之所以饱受差评,是因为比利·马格努森是一个金发碧眼的白人,他的加入很明显地改变了原著的叙述。
Fans on Twitter have been sharing their unhappiness:

for the Aladdin live action they created a new character just so they could cast a white wtf
迪士尼创造新角色的目的就是为了插进一个白人演员?

Y'all can't even let brown people have their own fake kingdom?
能不能给棕色人种留点幻想的余地?

so they “couldn’t find” a middle Eastern Jasmine but they can add a completely new made up WHITE GUY
剧组找不到中东的茉莉花,却可以创造一个虚幻的白人角色。

I liked Billy Magnussen just fine as the Not Chris Pine Prince in Into the Woods, but his casting here seems wholly unnecessary.
我喜欢比利·马格努森在《魔法黑森林》中的表演,但《阿拉丁》中的这个新角色完全没有必要。

So millions of people have seen the Aladdin cartoon.They couldn't trust the live action to work enough without creating this?!
大家都看过《阿拉丁神灯》的动画版,难道迪士尼觉得不插进来一个白人这个电影就不会成功吗?
