A black Cleopatra is “rewriting history” in the same way an English speaking Cleopatra is.
Oh man, a production with historically-accurate Latin, Egyptian, and Greek would be so awesome.
How do you think a Cleopatra which didn’t “rewrite history” would look?
Like someone who's 3/4 Greek and 1/4 Egyptian. Not that most people are genuine about it anyway. I have doubts the people angry about whitewashing in Aloha, Dr. Strange, Lone Ranger, and Ghost in the Shell are the same set angry about blackwashing in Cleopatra, Little Mermaid, and Anne Boleyn.
