Casting a known female actor as a male



Casting opposite genders to fulfill a specific aspect of a character is something that has been done for centuries.



The aspect that nolan wished to fit was an easily duped weakling.



He picked a transgender for that.





Please explain how that is pro trans.

Not in context.



He literally cannot hire a transgender by your standards. If that’s what you want so be it but sometimes showing the folly is better than ignoring it. Which Nolan shows the folly in 90mm fashion.

Never done for The Odyssey because Sinon isn't in The Odyssey .

You're interjecting your own head canon of what Nolan was thinking in putting a girl in a man's role. You think he's secretly humiliating her or mocking the trans movement.

Proof you have no clue of what you're seeing.

I’m a conservative and believe every person is fearfully and wonderfully made by God and think it’s incredibly sad that she has been deluded into giving up her life as a woman based on a lie. I have referred to her throughout this thread and others as a woman.


Given what nolan did with that character casting page is about as spot on with the intended storyline as possible.

The only thing that took me out of the movie at all was feeling bad for page the person to have been so twisted to do something like that to herself because this is the first time I had heard her talk or see her act since inception.

You think he’s pro trans in spite of casting a trans to be immediately humiliated.

You said nolan does no casting by accident.



Please explain your stance.


I have explained mine.

How?


Because I am not upset that a transperson got portrayed in a manner befitting of their stature in a rated R movie that is clearly marketed to adults?


I understand there are people who are trans in this world. I also understand that they will never find fulfillment trying to live out a life they weren’t created to do. Which is exactly what happened to Sinon.

This isn’t a movie to groom kids.

It’s a movie marketed to adults with consistent moral themes throughout.

For assuming and attacking anyone who doesn’t like the movie as being that. And you’re dishonest about Nolan’s intent being to humiliate Page. Nothing could be more dishonest.

Saying he’s Woke and DEI because he cast a trans does not equal pro trans in your world?



So there is room to cast a trans but not be pro trans?







And if so how would that manifest itself

They have truly hit rock bottom.

Kaiju has called it DEI and woke and specifically listed page as a reason.

Humiliate?


No not at all.






Cast in a role that is befitting of a small female going to war? Yes.


Honesty. Not humiliation.


Nothing more based and Christian then that.

See trolling isn’t going to get the response you’re looking for. Just another useless and dishonest clown.

Transgendered people exist.


I don’t think preventing them from having a job is a good solution to stop the problem.


Being honest about how there are still genetic differences-maybe a good start.
