"There are many different theories about the ethnicity of the Egyptian people", yeah and one thing for sure is that they weren't white! Scott stop trying to defend your bullshit. We know you just casted the most popular actors people know today just to draw an audience in. Yeah who the heck would want to watch an accurate movie about Moses. Everyone else can simply be a side character including the majority of the coloured actors. The only reason why a film such as Ben-Hur gets a pass is because of the time the film was made in it was very uncommon. This is the 21st century, there is no excuse now. So stop the racist crap and get with the accuracy. Christian Bale as Moses, what a joke.

Did you really just say coloured... 😯

VoiceOfReason on Aug 27, 2014

What?

Stephen Ritchie on Aug 27, 2014

6

“colored” harkens back to an era of exclusion, a time when Jim Crow was in full force, and blacks used water fountains marked “colored” and sat in the “colored” sections of busses, beaches and restaurants. In essence, the term stirs up painful memories.

VoiceOfReason on Aug 27, 2014

I was referring to people of multiple ethnicities apart from whites not just blacks when I said colored! What are you going to call me a racist now just because I didn't say "other ethnicities". It's the same thing.

Well, I guess i cant say im upset about the fact that people are finally taking notice of racial inaccuracy in film, but where was this outcry with the recent Noah film?? or the recent nativity story? Or how in every movie about a racial minority, an a list white actor is always still the lead??? (The Help, The Last Samurai, Blood Diamond, etc.) This isnt the first time this has been an issue, guys.

jay on Aug 27, 2014

14

This is different, in your examples the white characters were written into the story as white characters. Here ethnic characters were just changed to be white.

Daniel Sillitto on Aug 28, 2014

15

Thats definitely a fair point, I think its still just related to how the industry tends to use white leads incorrectly, whether it be inaccurate historically or inappropriate thematically as the case with the examples I used, to appeal to a white american audience.

jay on Aug 28, 2014

16

I agree, it's always the white male (more often than not) American that saves the day.

Daniel Sillitto on Aug 28, 2014

17

I actually did have an issue with the white representation in "Noah". As a black woman (and someone who believes in the Bible, as well), I was disappointed that the image portrayed in "Noah" was that the ancestors of present-day people were all white, and a very specific type of white person: British (although that people group and nation did not exist at that time, but I digress). Even if we cannot fully know what the characters looked and sounded like, the bigger issue is that a lot of white people have the *privilege* of not considering race at all, and that seeing themselves on the big screen (and anywhere else in media) is the norm. I am not making this a black vs. white problem, but the larger concern is that people of color are often told that they don't matter, that they are cry babies when addressing social injustice in the media, and that they should just go make *their own* movies. That latter point suggests to me that white folks are in fact claiming the film industry as *their own*, and thus, it has no place for people of color. That's a tragedy, and I'm frankly tired of having to explain why people of color should want to see themselves represented properly.

Rags2Righteous on Oct 23, 2014

18

I'm not very familiar with the story so I personally don't find it to be a big deal. Maybe because I'm ignorant and don't know how much it hurts people to see their race being misrepresented. I'll be seeing it regardless because I really like what I saw in the trailer and I generally like Scott's movies. I would rather see how the servants, and lower class citizens are handled in the movie, before I comment on the black actors being cast in those roles. There might be a point or a social message in there or a commentary on class, or not, I don't know. I won't be boycotting it.

NathanDewey on Aug 27, 2014

19

A really good social message would be to cast this film, like we live in a world, that understands it's history.

Why? on Aug 28, 2014

20

There may be theories as to what ethnicity the Egyptians were, but I doubt any of them include that they were European/White.

Brian Sleider on Aug 27, 2014

Yeah. He was being silly.

I get why there is/would be an uproar...but honestly I'd rather see good and talented actors...you know to enjoy the movie.

Xerxexx on Aug 27, 2014

30

SO there are not talented ethnic actors? Of course there are and I know you know that. This has every thing to do with having a big name on the poster and nothing to do with ethnic dispersion theories.

Brian Sleider on Aug 27, 2014

31

Honestly it would be refreshing to get an all ethnic cast for a big budget movie but that is very unlikely. Studios would never greenlight it.

Xerxexx on Aug 27, 2014

32

I'm totally onboard with what you're saying. You're not insulting anyone disagreeing with article, you're simply saying you'd prefer to watch a good movie with actors that have a history of performing great than compared to others that don't. Even if Scott cast all ethnically correct roles...if they suck or have a history of performing badly, why cast them in the first place.

JBrotsis on Aug 28, 2014

33

Cause only white actors are good? Well the ethnic actors were "good" enough to play slaves. Lucky them.

Daniel Sillitto on Aug 28, 2014

34

Well said.

Xerxexx on Aug 28, 2014

35

Example: Apocalypto. It was made using an all ethnic cast. Only earned $50 million US and $70 internationally. Cost: $40 million to make. Probably at least another $40 million to market. Directed by Mel Gibson - coming off of his most successful film to date - The Passion of the Christ. So yeah, it made a little bit of money. But it was not the kind of success that a movie like Exodus needs to be considering it's budget will be astronomically greater. Hence: Bigger and more well known stars for Exodus.

Phill Lytle on Aug 28, 2014

36

Exactly. Apocalypto was an excellent movie and an all ethnic cast can work but this is Ridley Scott and Exodus needs the star power to get asses in the seats.

Xerxexx on Aug 28, 2014

37

LOL. What a stupid thing to say Mr. Scott. You simply cast White actors because they were the best for the job.

DAVIDPD on Aug 27, 2014

Sigourney Weaver to play an African Queen. Come on not even an Arab. Christian Bale is from Wales!!!!!!! Ancient Egyptian art. Majority of the wall paintings show them as at least VERY tan if not obviously black. What's the next film. Bruce Lee played by...............Brad Pitt.

An Australian playing a Spaniard...

Steven on Oct 23, 2014

40

When did that happen? To be fair though, people from Spain are European. I doubt a Nigeria would be upset if American Will Smith played a famous West African.

Jane Vain on Oct 28, 2014

41

Umm....you know Russell Crowe is Australian right and not one actor looked Italian or Spanish in Gladiator. I totally agree Will Smith would of been great for such a role, but I question which actors of the correct race would have the blockbuster draw for such a film. Scott IMO has simply chosen on talent as popularity, since TBH it's all about the money.

Steven on Oct 29, 2014

42

If it was all about money (you're right, usually is), Will Smith would have been chosen. His films on average gross half a billion....if even if they're bad. Seems more like a white-wash agenda.

Jane Vain on Nov 3, 2014

43

Really......so what was Smith's last box office smash that drew in the crowds? Plus who would act alongside him? Honestly this white agenda is overblown nonsense IMO, end of the day Hollywood is a white majority, just as Bollywood is Indian.

Steven on Nov 4, 2014

44

Hollywood is selling films for the whole world based in a country that was NEVER white. Bollywood makes film in India for Indians. What do you mean by "who would act alongside him"? One more thing, you said Russell did not look Spanish, sorry, but many Spaniards look like him.

Jane Vain on Nov 5, 2014

45

Hollywood is selling films for the whole world.....really....from a Eurepean view it looks aimed more at the American market than the whole world. Who would act alongside him.....well you can't sell a film on just one main actor. Which over ethnic correct actors and actresses will take the other main roles? Just your tone implies you thought I was being racist and thought no one would act alongside him....grow up. Many Spaniards look like Russell Crowe....lol....yeah and many Brits speak with that dodgy accent he used in Robin Hood.....

Steven on Nov 6, 2014

46

Accent is not the same as Ethnicity.

Jane Vain on Nov 20, 2014

47

Yeah ok....but it's an issue just the same for some. Still I stand by most films being aimed at the American market more than the whole world, to suggest otherwise is ludicrous. When a film is judged to be a success it's the US box office sales that really determine it.

Steven on Nov 20, 2014

48

Accent is as important. Why is the 'evil' sheriff in Prince of Thieves clearly English and yet Robin Hood is American? Simply because it's aimed at the American audience. It's a standard joke that evil characters are generally English, not Welsh or Scottish.

Steven on Nov 23, 2014

49

Another issue I have with this casting of huge actors is that it purposefully places that much more scrutiny on them that it's impossible not to see the Hollywood star. It doesn't appear to make any sense in this film to risk how fake making-up actors can potentially be. They don't seem to need it for story purposes; this isn't something like what Cloud Atlas did. It just seems like blatant Hollywood gimmickry, a ploy to attract viewership.

Whatintheduece on Aug 27, 2014

50

Scott always has some of the best looking pictures... in any case, i'll be waiting for Scott's Director's Cut version. It always seems to be better than the theatrical.

nate on Aug 27, 2014

Interesting. That is all.

Quanah on Aug 27, 2014

52

Being multiracial, I didn't really care about the make up of the cast until this article. That bothers me that blacks are just the slaves.I understand about getting big names to fill seats, but if Ridley and the studios just went after white actors only thinking they can only be big names, then screw this film. Most of the folks here who I've had the pleasure of agree or disagreeing with don't base movies solely on faces, but on the story as well. That's why, for the past few years,I have more independent films in my collection than blockbusters; stop thinking we are a bunch of muppets and catch up with the human race.

mooreworthy on Aug 27, 2014

53

Wow the offended race begins again.

Mihkel on Aug 27, 2014

54

My thoughts are this... leave Prince of Egypt out of it since the entire production team was white, the cast is mostly white with a few actors of Jewish heritage and few black actors in the mix, but like literally 99% white. Christian Bale isn't ok but Val Kilmer as Moses is? Oh it's because they drew him as a brown man? Ok... I get it.

Kento on Aug 27, 2014

Jameson Cyr on Aug 28, 2014

That's not being racist, that just us wanting fairness represented in Hollywood. It's been going on for a long time, and not just for blacks. Anyone remember Mickey Rooney's role in Breakfast at Tiffanys?

Xerxexx on Aug 28, 2014

Nonsens. The director chooses who plays what. No need for political correctness, thank you. Plenty of Black actors in major roles everywhere. Great actors! But maybe not for these roles according to Scott. His choice and no-one else's.

Peter T'Sas on Aug 27, 2014

This.

Xerxexx on Aug 28, 2014

67

Plenty of black actors in major roles everywhere? Is this a joke?

James Ball on Sep 6, 2014

68

Oh, do I have to apologise dor NOT watching movies that don't have black leads now? You see, I don't give a fnck. I don't believe in artificial equilibrium. I don't believe in political correctness. I appreciate black actors as much as white if they do a good job. The rest is not my concern.

Peter T'Sas on Sep 7, 2014

69

What you should be concerned about is your complete disconnect from reality. Approximately only about 14% of films in 2013 had a person of color in them. Not as a lead, but as ANY character including non-speaking roles. So for you to say that there are black actors in major roles everywhere is not only a joke but a complete fabrication. So apparently not wanting Hollywood to continue being racist and wanting them to mirror their world with the diverse reality of ours is "political correctness"? Of course you don't care. You're a privileged white dude who gets to turn on the tv, go to the movies, and always see people who look like you. So you don't give a damn about diversity. Everyone else, however, does. So maybe you should just be quiet next time this is being discussed since, you know, it's "none of your concern".

James Ball on Sep 7, 2014

70

My dear fellow, in a democracy, everybody gets their say. You may not like it, but since I am not displaying any insults to anyone, there should be no objection. I am not the kind of guy who cares about everything from behind his TV. I don't even have one, because I consider it poison since it is not objective. If I care about something, I try to do something about it, but it is impossible for any human being to care about everything, so I limit my concerns to those things I can actively affect. Since I live in Thailand, racism really is no part of that. So forgive me for not licking your boots, and go on with your life : instead of criticising others about what they say or do without having a clue who they are, go out and do something useful.

Peter T'Sas on Sep 7, 2014

71

My dear friend, I don't feel more comfortable with people from one colour or another. The only people who make me feel uncomfortable are fanatics. As I see it, you walk the edge of fanaticism by making up racism everywhere you look. You see, if there were more black directors, there would likely be more black actors involved, because there is a more fundamental connection through colour of skin that has nothing to do with racism, but with subconscious brotherhood. Good luck with your pogrom against illusionary racism that is very different from real racism.

Peter T'Sas on May 26, 2015

72

bro give it up , if white people can count how many black people they see in Hollywood films on their finger. its to much black people for them in movies. you should know their egos by now.

I am a huge Ridley Scott fan, and plan to see this film! Without the political issues for all like films, what kind of "risk" would it be for a film company to "green-light" an ethical and enthical story? Seems that only films on native americans, and american slavery are appropriate! It like we're back in early cinema! There are tons of great actors, world wide, to closer fill the historical value! If a movie about Hawaiian King Kamehameha had cast a white actor, polynesians would go berserk! (A great roll Dwayne Johnson?)

Grizzled on Aug 28, 2014

79

Its a business and Bale is a "name" so is "Egerton" if they cast unknowns for this would the audience have seen this? Yes its Scott's name on the film but no big actor name no larger audience.. oh yeaone more thing ITS JUST A FUCKING MOVIE! DID ANYONE COMPLAIN ABOUT CHARLTON HESTON? or YUL BRENNER back in the day?????? No The Ten Commandments is a classic!

Lee Seymour on Aug 28, 2014

80

I think people would still see the film even if it didn't have big "name" actors in it. Look at Thor when it first came out, no one knew who Chris Hemsworth was unless you saw his 10 minutes of fame as Kirk's father in the beginning of JJ Abrams "Star Trek". But with a comic following fan base of Thor and with it being a movie never made (to my knowledge) people still went. A true, live action Moses story hasn't been seen since long ago when they did "The Ten Commandments" so yes, with both fans of the original and biblical followers (though they'll probably be the ones to rant more about how accurate it is to the Bible like with "Noah") I believe you'll still get a strong showing no matter who is casted. White, brown, tan, big name, no name, whatever. Plus it's an epic story!

JBrotsis on Aug 28, 2014

James Ball on Sep 6, 2014

83

I'm Iraqi, but you find me a big named Arab star who you can put on a billboard so you can sell this film and I'll give you a trillion dollars. This issue is a wider problem about the lack of Middle Eastern actors in Hollywood, not the fact that Ridley Scott wanted to make a film that people would actually see.

Gazwan Aldafai on Aug 28, 2014

84

Fair enough - though there's several Israeli actors who have some recognition (Oded Fehr, Gil Gadot come quickly to mind). Oded Fehr (and his "Mummy" & ResEvil co-star, Asrnold Vosloo as well) are names that make me & several of my geek friend perk up with interest. And several actors who might be non "Arab" or "Israeli", but at least have a swarthier complexion than Sigourney or Bale. I think that's where some of the outrage lies as well. Not just that they're not from that region, but tend towards the Aryan side of white.

Jane on Aug 28, 2014

91

The Ten Commandments was made in the 1950s. Do you think it would have been common or normal to have the majority of the main cast be of other ethnicities in such a major Hollywood film in that exact time frame? We have moved on from those times.

LOL dream on buddy. Unless of course you are calling everyone who is not considered "white" black. If anything we know that Egypt was a varied mix and so were the Hebrew people. I'm surprised they didn't cast some famous arab looking and israeli actors to play the parts since there are so many. Christian Bale could pass looking like a Hebrew. The others however... WTF?

not in that time period Ancient Egypt began in 3500 B.C. Ancient Egypt was first invaded by the Hyskos in 1700 B.C. The Hyskos were kicked out 100 years later in 1600 B.C. Ancient Egypt wasn't occupied again until 728 B.C. by The Nubians (modern day Sudan). Then the Assyrians (outsiders) came next, followed by The Persians, then the Greeks, then the Romans at the turn of the millennium (30 B.C.) Finally, the Arabs conquered Egypt indefinitely in 642 A.D. The people you see in Egypt today are NOT the people who lived there 5,000 years ago. The Egypt that the entire world is fascinated by.....the PEAK/PRIME period of Ancient Egypt was the New Kingdom (King Tut, Ahmose, Amenhotep, Hatshepsut).....this period was from 1600 BC to 1000 BC.....1000 years before Europeans came and 2,000 years before Arabs came. THEY WERE BLACK. DEAL WITH IT. "

Roman historian Cornelius Tacitus (56-118 A.D.) had these thoughts on the origins and customs of the Hebrews, as the Romans prepared to destroy Jerusalem Quote:. Many, again, say that they were a race of Ethiopian origin, who in the time of king Cepheus were driven by fear and hatred of their neighbours to seek a new dwelling-place. Others describe them as an Assyrian horde who, not having sufficient territory, took possession of part of Egypt, and founded cities of their own in what is called the Hebrew country, lying on the borders of Syria.

Poor reading and context. Read before and after text. People were questioning where the Jews came from.

Testimony of Classical Greek and Roman Historians Virtually all of the early Latin eyewitnesses described the ancient Egyptians as black-skinned with woolly hair. Several ancient Greek historians noted that Egyptians and Ethiopians had complexions that were “melanchroes,” which most scholars translate as black, while some scholars translate it as “dark” or “dark skinned.” Some of the most-often quoted historians are Diodorus Siculus and Herodotus. According to most translations, Herodotus wrote that a Greek oracle was known to be from Egypt because she was “black,” that the natives of the Nile region are “black with heat,’ and that Egyptians were “black skinned with woolly hair.” Diodorus Siculus wrote that the Ethiopians considered the Egyptians their colony. Lucian observes an Egyptian boy and notices that he is not merely black, but has thick lips. Appollodorus called Egypt the country of the black-footed ones. Aeschylus, a Greek poet, wrote that Egyptian seamen had “black limbs.” Gaston Maspero states that “by the almost unanimous testimony of ancient [Greek] historians, they [ancient Egyptians] belonged to the African race, which settled in Ethiopia.”

Not all Lad. I have tapestry pending posts from CB from 3rd Century AD. As my Wife is Hebrew actually she says Mr. Bale looks pretty close. One of the ancient taps they have same haircut.

Randall Miller on Aug 28, 2014

109

how does your wife personally know what Moses looks like? She was alive back then? She has a degree in history or religion? Oh right shes just some lady that you are using as an authority. Also those tapestries that are from the 3rd century, who were they painted by and for what? Because I've seen tapestries of a blonde haired jesus, with disciples wearing Renassaince era clothing, it doesn't make it true.

WTF is wrong with you? I will pass the insults on to my Wife. If you would actually take the time to see the other comments, SHE as a HEBREW is not insulted by Mr. Bale portraying the lead.

Your wife is no damn Hebrew. Your wife is probably converted with the rest of the Khazars from Europe.

Randall Miller on Nov 13, 2014

113

Sorry for you but there is nothing insuting nor wrong in what LEE007 said, the actual Hebrew are the descendents of the Khazars (East Europe, Crimea more or less), who were converted to judaism at a time when judaism was a very proselyte religion, that is fact ^^ And actually, you are the one being insensitive to some extent, playing the "Auschwitz" card like that, disgusting... ^^

Waaahh!!! It's a movie. Whatevs. If somebody doesn't like it, don't see it!? OR... make your own friggin' movie. I'll probably Netflix it just to see if it's good enough to make me forget all this whining.

What really sucks is, as a mixed race actor, I probably would've accepted the roles and been thrilled to play a slave cause...that's life?

Why? on Aug 28, 2014

119

i wonder what the Prince of Persia director would say about "We cast major actors from different ethnicities to reflect this diversity of culture, from Iranians to Spaniards to Arabs" they know better and this may actually hurt some pretty good actors and actresses in this movie

Liam Knurtsis on Aug 28, 2014

120

While I agree that the casting is odd and there is no dispute in that - specifically Joel and Weaver and Aaron Paul (WTF), but the black guys mentioned in the tweet all play non slave roles. Way to over exaggerate!

backwardsprogress on Aug 28, 2014

121

I seriously doubt race even crossed his mind when casting. This is a storm in a tea cup that's been raised and shouldn't be given the time of day.

Steven on Aug 28, 2014

122

Well according to the man himself, they did discuss race but decided to go with white actors anyway. So you're wrong.

Daniel Sillitto on Aug 29, 2014

123

After the question of race was raised in an interview..........believe what you like, but he's hardly going to turn round and see he couldn't care less and picked actors on ability.

Steven on Aug 29, 2014

124

If race was not discussed during casting (which it was), then this *should* be given the time of day. Is everything an issue of race? Not at all. But to take a story that has a very specific historical and geographical context and purposely choose people who are not representative of said context is irresponsible. I understand the idea of hiring the "best" person for the job. But for many people of color, it is a reality that they are not even in the running for best because of an a certain physical and cultural ideal. This is part of white privilege, not having to consider race at all and thinking that you are the norm.

Rags2Righteous on Oct 23, 2014

125

I personally don't believe my colour is the "norm" and believe we are all part of a rich and diverse human race. While aware of the harsh realities of the world I do not believe Ridley Scott to be a racist and stand by my belief his casting choices were made on both talent and box office draw. The latter being a demand created by the general public, though I concede this can be manipulated through the selection of high profile roles.

Steven on Oct 23, 2014

126

When I said "thinking that *you* are the norm," I wasn't at all implying you as an individual, or making it personal. It was the collective *you* as in *one*, or even in this case, Ridley. 🙂 I also did not call him a racist, but I do believe that as a white male, he consequently possesses this privilege (in US society). A side note: I don't understand why some people have such a problem when people of color mention that they are not represented or are marginalized? I get it that some people "cry wolf" in life, but EVERYONE? C'mon... this is one of the reasons why people of color get angry, because even those who claim to be colorblind and care about the human race as a whole don't actually seem to listen to the individuals and groups who report not being represented well. It's a privilege to tell people how they should feel, and whether or not they are making mountains out of molehills. The people who are offended by the lack of racial and ethnic representation in this movie have a right to be.

Rags2Righteous on Oct 23, 2014

127

TBH I wasn't sure if you were implying Ridley was a racist for not casting the correct ethnic race. While I understand people have a right to express their views, I just don't think it's understood that the roles are given on as much the actors box office draw as the talent. Let's face it, Ridley's had a bit of a dry run lately, picking Bale for example would be deemed a 'safe' move (though as Terminator Salvation showed, a poor script and direction can still kill a movie). I honestly believe the casting is due to money considerations and not race. Outrage on the misrepresentation would be better focused upon the history books and what is taught in classrooms. A film comes and goes, with even classics not often viewed by the public. A change needs to be made at the grass roots within education, making a song and dance over a movie is not the correct attention the debate needs.

Steven on Oct 24, 2014

128

I hear what you're saying. But change does not just happen in formal education... it happens wherever people are, and some of those people happen to either make films or watch them. History books are not separate from real life events that... will eventually be history. Also, your comment of "making a song and a dance" seems condescending and belittling for the voices who are offended, including for the individuals working in the film industry whose craft and artistry is part of their involvement in social justice. We will just have to agree to disagree.

Rags2Righteous on Oct 24, 2014

129

Making a 'song and dance' implies a 'storm in a tea cup', more of an issue than is needed in terms of a movie being made to make money. I can understand how your upset on that POV, but then we are all guilty of speaking out of turn. The label of 'you' in your first reply for example, some two months after my original comment. Hollywood is still a white majority industry, catering for a white majority population, just as Bollywood is catering for Indian demand. It's all about the money...

Steven on Oct 25, 2014

130

The main problem, is that they chose to cast only white European actors in all of the main speaking roles, and gave them spray tans and makeup to pass them off as Egyptians, as if they ran out of actual actors of color to play those roles. In movies like Guardians of the Galaxy, green, blue, and pink people dont exist, thus the need for the actors to wear makeup to change their race. For Exodus, actual brown and black people exist in the world, so there is no excuse to cast white people in these main roles, other than the fact that they could sell more tickets with these white actors. Maybe that is the excuse to why it happened, but its still doesn't make it right.

Since we're letting the suspension of disbelief do it's work with the biblical moments of hail, blood strewn rivers and splitting rivers, I'll continue to let it do it's job with the actors. Haven't even touched on the religious aspects of the film and people are already up in arms. Chill folks. They had a Russian playing the Pharaoh back in the 50s version - did you care as much then??

Hollywood has been racist since the beginning of film so why would this film be any different? Lol seriously all the big A-listers are all white. How many Asian actors are the stars in a big budget movie? What's that? None? Yep that's what I thought. It's just the way of the business sad to say.

Daniel Sillitto on Aug 29, 2014

As a black man the only thing that really "offends me" is that it's basically a live action rehash of Prince of Egypt. Also 99.9% of religion is fiction anyway so I really don't care all that much.

John Doe on Aug 29, 2014

139

I'm not white and I could care less what color skin the actors have as long as they can bring the role to life successfully. Do people care that Al Pacino wasn't Cuban in Scarface? This is only a controversy because the press chooses to focus on the vocal minority on the internet.

David Diaz on Aug 29, 2014

140

That's because scarface isn't real

SwannyZone1_5 on Sep 16, 2014

141

Think you missed the point of my comment. Regardless of whether the character is from history or not, it still shouldn't be a big deal what color skin they have as long as they bring the role to life in a great way. Do you know of a lot of amazing Egyptian actors to fill all the main roles? I sure don't, and neither did the casting directors. So they went with talent and gave them tans to pass for Egyptians. Big deal. That's all I'm saying. Also, I'm not sure where the proof of Moses' or Ramses' skin color comes from but ok.

David Diaz on Sep 22, 2014

142

Yes it should matter what color the character is because if the character is black in real life but white in the movie that is a blatent distortion of history. the actors don't necessarily have to be Egyptian but they should at least b black as the ancient Egyptians depicted themselves through their art. exodus chapter 4 verses 6 n 7 depict Moses as a black man if u were wondering where the proof was

SwannyZone1_5 on Sep 23, 2014

143

I'm not to sure it's trying to be massively historically accurate, more concentrating on being bloody good entertainment and looking amazing which it does, they've picked actors and actresses they know can do what they want, like Sigourney Weaver, some one Ridley Scott knows and has worked with ,Oscar Isaacs apparently turned now Ramses and he's not exactly white not like they have a list of white actors they might happen to have a list of good reliable popular actors but hay maybe they should go out to egypt and pick. What I also don't get oh it's different as it's a historical real life character, so Henry the VI of England looked like David Oyelowo?

mph1959 on Oct 1, 2014

144

Lol massively historically accurate? Portraying the characters to what they really looked like in real life sounds like the basis to me. I wouldn't consider that being massively historically accurate, that's the easy part. don't you think being historically accurate AND being bloody good entertainment makes for a better movie? instead of one without the other. not only would it be fun to watch, the viewer would be learning something as well. if you watched the movie as it is without knowing the real history, the viewer would be misinformed. also the Egypt today is not like ancient Egypt. Ancient Egypt was inhabited by pure africans. the Egypt today is inhabited by mostly Arabs and palestinians. idk about ur reference to henry of england

SwannyZone1_5 on Oct 2, 2014

145

A historically accurate movie which is good entertainment is a great thing, but that doesn't detract from the fact that a non-historically accurate is good entertainment, which is just common sense really. Also, watching a movie without prior knowledge of the history and being misinformed as you said is a problem that can be rectified easily by simply researching on the internet if it bothers someone that much, I mean its not as if someone will become completely ignorant due to a movie considering the age we live in so your argument is an exaggeration. A movie is a form of entertainment, and that's what it should be taken as, if you want historically accurate go watch a documentary, but aside from that I think people care too much about the "white-washing" of a mere movie, since there are records and scientific studies that can dispute it.

mira on Mar 7, 2015

146

Plz help me understand how portraying an ancient ppl as white instead of black makes for better entertainment. N the ppl that care too much about the whitewashing of the movie, r the ones who made it. If whitewashing didn't matter, y whitewash a movie? Most ppl don't read history books, most ppl don't research shit. Nowadays we watch shit. They're ppl that still deny that the Egyptians were black to this day n they been denying it. This information has been covered up nd this movie contributes to that. Your whole argument is the problem with the world today. Ppl want what's appealing to them. Ppl want "entertainment" more than truth. If u can't see the problem with portraying something as something that its not then don't even waste ya time on replying to me

SwannyZone15 on Mar 7, 2015

147

Ramses was a real black pharoh n ppl consider Moses to b real. Moses was black as well

SwannyZone1_5 on Sep 16, 2014

148

Moses was far from black matter of fact if you read the Hebrew bible it clearly states that Moses married a black woman a Cushi which in hebrew refers to black from the tribe of Cush. Moses sister Miriam and his brother Aron laughed at Moses for taking a different race wife and Miriam was punished by God for disrespecting Moses. There is nothing in the entire bible which indicates that the ancient Israelites were black, the Jews in Israel today are the children of the Israelites, to deny this is to deny God it's as though you are saying God made a mistake cause the State of Israel is nothing short of a miracle, what Israel became in 60 years no nation surrounding it has achieved till this day.

Jane Vain on Sep 30, 2014

169

Nah, not at all. People would complain under the guise of 'historical accuracy', but we all know it would actually be a bit of racism talking I think. Speaking of Shakespeare though, I saw an incredible production of Julius Caesar that had an all-black cast and oh man, it was insane; just wonderful. Alas, people complained of course but the quality won out in the end and most agreed how good a performance it was.

Ashlea Marshall on Sep 30, 2014

170

I heard about that. I guess with theatre it would be fine. However, Hollywood does WAY too much white washing in an already low African representation as it is. So I think the complaints about Exodus are valid. It reminds me of those who complain about "Hunger Games " movie even though, in the book the character are black.

Jane Vain on Oct 1, 2014

Actually, you need to research more on cinema history...not current cinema. Once you do, you will see that your comment makes no since.

Oh please don't give me more of this ridiculous argument are you talking about all the little "Token" roles blacks get on the side for a only a few minutes of sc rene time like "idris Elba" in Thor?! 98ercent of all leading roles in hollywood are done by White actors. The reason hollywood has to cast little side white roles with a black actor or two is Becuase hollywood films are lacking in so much diversity already. So your comment is nonsensical.

Rags2Righteous on Oct 23, 2014

178

Apart from the racial aspects of the casting, the film is severely flawed in factual content. Ridley Scott has Seti as the pharaoh of the Exodus, where as it was Merneptah, as the latest book 'Where Moses Stood' spells out in detaill. Nor can the film portray the correct Mount Sinai, as it has only recently been poisitvely identified.

Robert Feather on Oct 30, 2014

179

I could understand more "white" characters if they were portraying this in Ptolemaic Egypt, when primarily most of the leaders were of Greek descent. However, this is Old/Middle Kingdom Egypt, and most people would have been brown to black hued. The directors of the film know their casting is flawed, otherwise they wouldn't have spent extra money on heavily tanning these actors.

Brittani on Nov 3, 2014

When I see Egyptians, they look Spanish like me, some are pale with blue eyes, I no offense to Africans , but I don't see to many Egyptians that look black.

Sandra guglielmo on Nov 9, 2014

181

That's because the egyptians you see today are persian. They swept in to Africa during the Persian influx in 700ad. The ancient egyptians/Kemets/Kushites were a black race of people. Ugh. Education sucks in this country.

Cliff Postell on Nov 18, 2014

182

NO! The Arabs were from Arabia. The ancient Egyptians were of Greek origin, like the Philistines. They were invaders who turned the indigenous black Africans into slaves. The Jews grew in number over 400 years from the 12 sons of Jacob (Israel) and their families into the hundreds of thousands that left Egypt for the Promised Land. But the Jews were originally from where Turkey/Syria is now so would be on the pales side, yet tanned. The problem with the film is the use of 'A' listers who don't look right even with beards! But then neither did the The Ten Commandments with Vincent Price, Edward G Robinson and Cedric Hardwicke - LOL!

John Fiftytwo on Dec 14, 2014

183

Your ignorance is beyond laughable. I won't even argue the idiocy of your post. I'll just let you explain to me how many "Greek" pharohs have been found with dreedlocks and dark brown skin. Your history is laughable. The Greek empire was in it's infancy at the height of the Kushite Empire. This is sad. Do you people have to whitewash everything? None of the peoples you're referring to are caucasian (beside the Greeks who were in the process of being educated by the Moors, also black peoples). Smh. The racists always come out when these movies are made. Sorry sir, but the truth is coming to light. Claim your own heritage. Not ours,

Cliff Postell on Dec 23, 2014

Greek origin??? LOLOLOLOLOLOL The Egyptians migrated to Greece through Crete. Egypt was a country when LONG before Greeks formed a society. ANYONE WHO PAID ATTENTION IN MIDDLE SCHOOL LEARNED THAT! lololololol

Dood on Dec 26, 2014

185

Want to know how the Ancient Egyptians looked? LOOK AT THE HIEROGLYPHICS! Hieroglyphics clearly show the Ancient Egyptians being comprised of black and brown skin tones. Were there SOME white people in Ancient Egypt? Of course, like all world Superpowers during their times (ancient babylon, greek, rome, etc.) various cultures and races would live under their influence. But for the most part, the Ancient Egyptians themselves (especially the rulers) were black and brown.

CodeREd on Nov 9, 2014

186

People it's all about money. I'm sorry but an ALL black cast wouldn't bring in the money that these actors and actresses will bring in. If you have issues just don't go see it. Yeah it sucks but it will still be a knockout at the box office. Regardless of what anyone says this movie is all about the green dollar. P.S. You guys also have to remember soooo many people think Jesus was a white man with blondish colored hair and blue eyes. Hollywood will never cast an accurate biblical movie.

Nerdygrrl30 on Nov 9, 2014

187

Ridley was correct to use white actors. Adam, Esau, King David and Jesus were all said to be 'red', in the biblical texts. This has traditionally been thought to imply they were redheads. And all the Greek heroes were 'golden haired'. Which is why Muslims dye their hair red. They do so to look like Muhummad, and yet Muhummad was simply trying to look like the previous prophet, Jesus. The Talmud also says Jesus had freckles, which is a trait of redheads. And redheads in Syria are called 'Issa'. But Issa is the Arabic name for Jesus. Take a look at any Medieval illustration of Mary Magdalene, and she is a red head. This is not simply a Western stereotype, this is what the texts said. Ralph Please see: Jesus, Last of the Pharaohs Tempest and Exodus Scota, Egyptian Queen of the Scots

Ralph Ellis on Nov 10, 2014

188

Is your argument that only white people can have red hair?

No on Nov 10, 2014

189

Redheads are naturally lighter skinned, due to a reduction in eumelanin. That is a fact. And the presence of freckles again points to a lighter skin. The biblical texts confirm that the Jews lived in, and came out of, Egypt. That was the point of the film. But the Jewish Historian Josephus Flavius goes on to say that the Jews were actually the Hyksos Pharaohs of Egypt. And the biblical Exodus was therefore the Hyksos Exodus out of Egypt. And the predominant phenotype of Judaism is of a lighter skin pigment, with many Ashkenazi Jews being redheads. These are light-skinned Jews, like the redheaded Woody Allen, Seth Green and Art Garfunkel, whose ancestors came out of Egypt. These are Jews who look like - errr - the white actors in "Exodus". And yet they came from Egypt. Ralph

John Fiftytwo on Dec 14, 2014

192

You do realize that Black people naturally carry the gene to produce fairer skinned individuals? A loss in pigmentation is possible for us. Further inbreeding as was practiced by Kmetian royals to maintain the bloodline easily explains a line of people with the same hair color. There were no White Africans that magically ruled Egypt. They were Brown and Black skinned people who filled the lands and you obviously have done nothing beyond copy and paste the same article over and again about ONE red haired pharoah. You have no point, no research and no argument that bares substantial proof to back up your own bigotry. You throw out the term racist and show that you clearly have ZERO understanding that social economic control of a people is NOT the same as making a statement about genetic lineage. YOu are not that bright and you should learn MUCH before you come to public arenas and toss around how little you know.

Dood on Dec 26, 2014

193

Your grasping at straws, to protect the lie of Afro-centrism, is beginning to look like desperation. The pharaohs of Egypt were redheads, and the science has proven that that is the truth. The mummies of the New Kingdom all show reddish hair, and a rigorous scientific analysis has demonstrated that this is real red hair and not an artifact of mummification. What is the matter, are you an anti-ginger racist? Ralph

Rich Garriques on Apr 21, 2015

That is absolutly asinine. The Pharohs, as was all of Eygpt/Kemet/Kush were a black race of people. I can't believe I still have to explain this to people in 2014. Even the excavated tombs found them with "nappy" or "black peoples" hair. Ugh. Are ya'll really that insecure? Whitewashing everything. In 50 years Muhammad Ali and Micheal Jordan will be played by white actors too. Smh. #Pathetic.

Cliff Postell on Nov 18, 2014

196

Nonsense. The Egyptians clearly depicted themselves as sun-tanned, and African Negros as black. In addition, the present population of Egypt is NOT black. Are you saying they all died out? Likewise, the Jews, who Josephus Flavius says were the Hyksos pharaohs of Egypt, are clearly not a black race. And lastly, ancient Scottish and Irish history (Sotichronicon and the Labor Gabala) say the Scots and Irish came from Egypt, and these peoples are not black either. The data clearly demonstrates that the Egyptians were not a black race. R

The Hyksos were Asian invaders, so of course they were not Black. I notice people like you always pick and choose which period in Dynastic Egypt you want to inject whiteness into. For example, questioning whether or not Cleopatra was Black or White when in reality she came late in Egyptian history and AFTER all of the major structures were built. BUT....you never ask whether or not Queen Tiye was Black or not. I wonder why? SMDH

Mr. Holipsism on Nov 19, 2014

The Hyksos are portrayed in Egyptian art, in exactly the same way as the Upper Egyptians. There was precious little between these people, in religion, culture or ethnicity. Regards Queen Tiye, she was the daughter of Yuya. This is Yuya: http://www.spiritweb.us/egypt/Mummies-Yuya.jpg And this is who he looks like: http://www.latimes.com/includes/projects/hollywood/portraits/charlton_heston.jpg Yeah - pure Western. The black statue of Tiye is a death-mask, which were always black for obvious reasons. And yes, she was wearing the fashionable Nubian wig. Why? Because Moses married Queen Tharbis of Nubia, and it is likely that Moses was TuthMoses, the son of Queen Tiye. Thus a Nubian fashion was established, within the Armarna court. Ralph

Ramesses II was not Hyksos, and he was ginger haired, and the science has proved that beyond doubt. So if you will not accept the science, and continue to claim that the pharaohs were black, you are a racist. A pure and simple racist. And I do hope that the social services make contact, to question you about your racism.

Nonsense. The Hyksos were the Israelites, and their Exodus went in completely the opposite direction - and they became the Jews (who are not black at all). The Hyksos Exodus is identical to the Israelite Exodus, in every respect. If you don't believe me, then read Josephus Flavius, Judaism's greatest historian and chronicler, who says that the Hyksos were indeed the Israelites. Anyone who says that the Hyksos were black Africans, is a racist. R

Ralph Ellis on Nov 24, 2014

203

Sorry, but the written history of the region conclusively shows that the Hyksos were the Israelites. That is why their 'two' exodus events were identical. And the primary historian of these people, Josephus Flavius, says that - that the Hyksos were the Israelites. (See Contra Apion). And the Israelites are not black, and never have been. Why are you being so racist? Do you enjoy being a racist?

For the love of whatever god you believe in, do your research next time. That way, in the future, you won't embarrass yourself. "A common Eurocentric tactic to prove that various famous civlizations were blonde or red haired is to point out that mummies have blonde or red hair. Little do most Eurocentrists know that blonde and redhair in mummies can sometimes be explained by enviromental and archaeological reasons.You can also get such hair coloring from dying. Ancinet Egyptian women and men often used henna which turned their natural hair color reddish colors. This is not only common in Egypt but across Eastern Africa and parts of the so-called Middle East. Microscopic study tells more about the original hair color,which may have faded or been changed by enviromental conditions,the mummification process,or the use of dyes The red hair, on the contrary, seems represented, at least by some individuals, in all known races, whether equatorial or boreal... From what precedes, we arrive at the conclusion that the colour of the hair alone is insufficient to characterise a race..."

Yeah, we know that. But for the love of whatever evil devil you believe in, why do you not read the ancient texts before committing your racial prejudices to paper?? The kings of Mycenae were described as blonde, Alexander the Great was a redhead, while the patriarchs are also described as redheads. Likewise the ancient chronicles of Ireland and Scotland (Lebor Gabala and Scotichronicon) say that the redheads of Scotland came from Egypt. Taken together, with the evidence from mummy remains, the evidence strongly suggests that these people were indeed blonde and redheads. R

I would also like to point out that the tables have been turned in the past, and the "outrage" was unwarranted and just plain stupid. Don't believe me? Google "Hunger games outrage". Those sure are some hateful comments. Perhaps someone should have told those people to actually read the books. But of course.... maybe I'm the dumb one for expecting any racist or intellectually challenged human to be able to grasp the concept of common sense. The fact is, people are upset about this Exodus casting because when a historian thinks "Ancient Egyptian" they don't see "Sigourney Weaver" or "insert obviously pale, white actor in very dark makeup here". Ancient Egyptians were diverse as far as skin color goes, but phenotypically they most certainly did not look European. Most had dark hair, medium to dark skin which was very much representative of the climate and areas they lived in. How do we know all of this? Because they showed us. Look at their art. Look at their busts. Look at their statues. These people left pictures for us yet we insult their legacy by making some sort of scientifically inaccurate mockery out of it. Every ethnicity out there has contributed something great to this world as far as civilizations go. People who try to "change" history by recreating an entire civilization in a way that matches theirs screams poor self esteem. Be proud of your heritage regardless of what it is and respect those who are obviously different yet just as proud.

You are using Wiki as a source? Geezzz. In contrast, the science says that the original colour of Ramesses II's hair was red. In conclusion they said: Quote: "The anthropological study and the microscopic analysis of hair, carried out by four laboratories: Judiciary Medecine (Professor Ceccaldi), Société L'Oréal, Atomic Energy Commission, and Institut Textile de France showed that Ramses II was a 'leucoderm', that is a fair-skinned man, near to the Prehistoric and Antiquity Mediterraneans."

And please, they are not mixed with white people, they had these features way before the arrival of the European settlers.

The notion that Egyptian royals were black is silly. They didn't have "nappy" hair (check out the mummy of Ramses the Great...looks like my granddad...very straight, fine hair). Egyptian art typically depicted men as light to dark red but women as white/yellowish white (now why would they do that??), and as one comment notes below, Egyptians very clearly denoted the difference between themselves and Africans/Nubians (that too can be found online). More proof? After the Nubians were ousted from their century-long occupation of Egypt (ca. 700 B.C.), the Egyptians were so embarrassed by this that they tried to eradicate those Nubian pharoahs from their records...this is a known fact. The fact is, Egyptians looked down on the peoples south of them, and these people were much darker (among other things). Egypt was always a melting pot...all the tribes (white, black, and proto-Asian) that lived in the Eden that used to be the Sahara were forced east as the climate dried out...congregating in the Nile Valley. They were always racially mixed...deal with it. Maybe they should have cast some Arabs and southern Europeans...maybe a Tuareg or Berber. But the notion that they should have cast black actors in this roles would be no less ahistorical.

I'm not disagreeing with what you're saying except that it would be better to avoid generalizing; not all white people think that way, just the same as not all Arabs are Muslims and not all Muslims are terrorists and not all black people are whatever kind of stupid shit SOME people think. Ignorance has no color and doesn't discriminate, we all know that. I see that you did not say 'all' whites so maybe you aren't meaning to imply hat but it sounds ambiguous so I'm really not sure. But in my experience generalizing is dangerous because whether you mean to or not it alters your perception and you start to believe in it and write off an entire race of people like it's nothing and don't realize what you're really doing, and by you I mean any of us, I have had to stop myself from saying/thinking like this.

White people are going to push back and it's going to be because people like you are pushing forward specious arguments and misinterpreting your own stupidity for racial discrimination. The Egyptian Pharaohs were DEFINITELY not Congoid, they may have been dark or mid skinned but they were NOT Congoids - which is where the African-American slave trade displaced people from. Africa is a CONTINENT - it is not summed up by African Americans and their ancestors, at best you have claim to a sliver of the western shores of Sub Saharan Africa - you have nothing to do with South Africa, East Africa, North Africa - let alone Egypt in the North East. Congoid peoples are not the grand ancestors of the Human race - they are as much an offshoot as Europeans are - just because the superficial skin color makes you think you are the original peoples does not make it true.

Ethiopians consider themselves non black. Talk to any ethiopian and they will say they aren't black. They aren't prognathous, have white features. True negroids have a a small brain about 1000 cc, Ethiopians have a larger brain, avg 1300 cc. They are probably more Indian than black.

Ok the people in that picture you posted are NOT Congoid people - which is what you, if you're African American, are. It's possible that European people are more closely related to the black people in this photo than modern Congoid or Congoid-Transplants in America are. There is ZERO contention that White Europeans trace their lineage back to chimpanzee common ancestors through what would have been black skinned African inhabiting Human beings - White skin is NOT the defining characteristic of my genetics, it is a shorthand. It's ironic because American Congoids sometimes do look like White Europeans last Black ancestors - but only because American Congoids are a mixed race already, many American Black Congoids have white DNA to some degree, when they have a good fraction of white european ancestors they look like OUR ancestors from the European side rather than the Congoid side. Ancient Egyptian Pharaohs were definitely not Congoids - there is a contention over whether they were Nubian level black skinned or Arabic level skinned or European white Tanned skinned (I am as white as it gets but lived for short times in Spain, Canary Islands off the coast of Africa - and just being there for a month I have a very Bronzed semi dark skinned color - this is exactly how White people would look living in Egypt - and exactly as Pharaohs are depicted in skin tone.

We have their DNA. They were 100% white, not just whitish, their DNA is Western European. Negroes are just angry at being non humans. Negroids are angry science has proven blacks are an obsolete hominid not related to modern humans.

Ramesses III, the last great pharaoh of the New Kingdom, DNA analysis proves sub-Saharan African ancestry. Live in your white supremacist la-la land all you want, but I'm fact-checking your trolling a** anyway. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramesses_III

He was the last pharoah of a dying Egyptian kingdom for a reason... I believe there were black pharoahs during the time of Egypt's decay. Perhaps the absence of white peoples had an effect on intelligence levels?
