Is he the next literally me character?
>>35259doesn't look promising tbh
>>35273he regretted doing that tho
>>35278giancarlo esposito is overcasted these days but I don't think he would be terrible. Not that this would normally be important, but Touissant was full black and not mixed, where as Giancarlo Esposito is mixed. Part of what's surprising about Touissant's rise to power is that he was full black. Non white elites in Haiti usually were drawn from the mixed race population. They had a 3 tier race system with "coloreds" (mixed european/african) in the middle, "blacks" at the bottom, and "whites" at the top. L'Ouverture and later Dessalines fought this tiered system, with Dessalines abolishing it altogether, with all Haitian civilians (including, comically, Polish volunteers in Dessalines' army who were
not killed off like the white French were) were granted a legal status of "black."
Personally I think Toussaint would really need to be cast as a fairly unknown actor. It's kind of goofy when you have historical figures cast with famous actors like Daniel Day Lewis as Lincoln or Gary Oldman as Churchill or Joaquin Phoenix as Napoleon.
>>35282Giancarlo Esposito would be a miscast tbh, I just wanted to suggest a Toussaint movie.
>>35283He would have had an interesting take on the character no doubt, but I think a revolutionary might have been a bit outside of his range. Never saw him show the kind of charisma you would expect from that kind of character, especially one who did as many deals as L'Ouverture did. He was good as a leader in Boardwalk Empire but a very different kind of character.
Also that's a posthumous painting like most depictions of him so we don't have a very accurate idea how he looked.
>>35291Never liked Scorsese and The Irishman was a snooze
>>35292It's the opposite, really. The chinlets have won, at least culturally. Almost everything in the "mainstream" is mediocre trash to their taste now. The only thing they can complain about now is some side character in capeshit being a woman or black or LGBT or whatever.
>>35302>Chinlets have psychotic views Meh, sure
>and bland tastesYes, I said this
>>35310What if there was like a black person
That's a good joke, isn't it
Worked for Kramer
>>35289I mean movies that the "masses" want supposedly is capeshit inoffensive shlock or historical biopic.
I'm personally looking forward to that new scifi movie coming out since it seems somewhat original. The one starring the guy who starred in Tenet.
>>35294this comment from 6 months ago was comically accurate. capital has decided to switch common sense from liberal to chvd. even if the average person isn't like that, they still feel like the mainstream is average to bad, and non-whites feel out of place in
normal movies
