People are complaining about a lack of good American actors? Huh. Guess I don't visit enough fandom places.

[(Anonymous)]

America has obliterated almost every other nations' movie and television industry with its cultural warfare, it is only fare that the actors from those nations takeover Hollywood in return.

[(Anonymous)]

I didn't know there was handwringing. Is it coming from Americans? If so, that might be because people are much more aware of international cinema and television. I mean, honestly, there was a time that if you watched a few British shows on PBS, you were 'cultured'. I do think there are fewer American superstars, but I think that's down to the evolving nature of media and marketing.

[tabaqui]

This is a concern that was nowhere on my radar.

[(Anonymous)]

Is there?

[(Anonymous)]

The only handwringing I've seen is over hiring Black British actors to play important American roles such as MLK, not over American stars in general. And there is an interesting cultural problem there - white Americans not seeing African Americans as worthy of respect but assuming Black British actors have gravitas.

You know, I do remember there being a kerfuffle about Christian Bale playing Batman when he first got cast and how Batman is an American comic book character, but I have to think that was at least partly an excuse because some people always seem to get up in arms about anyone getting cast as Batman, but I will say there actually were a lot of British actors playing American in The Dark Knight Rises. But it did come up again, because for the next movie Heath Ledger was Joker and at around the same time Andrew Garfield was Spider-Man. It is kind of interesting how often they go outside the US when casting American comic book characters.

I joked about this when I went to see Greta Gerwig's Little Women and noticed that the four lead actresses were English, Irish or Australian. They couldn't find four American actresses for this classic American story???

I was also weirdly amused to notice that two recent-ish movies involving The Manson Family (Charlie Says and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood) had Charlie portrayed by English and Australian actors. Are Americans not good enough to portray our most notorious criminals? LOL.

[(Anonymous)]

I don't think there is or ever has been a dearth of quality American actors and if there were, how would it be a problem? As long as there are decent actors (of whatever nationality) appearing in decent quality media then everyone gets their entertainment fix and no one cares.

Maybe this is a Sturgeon's Law most of everything is crap kind of deal where there are a lot of crap actors and that blinds us to the fact that there are also good ones.

Or maybe it's like when 20% of the room is women people percieve the crowd as having gender parity and if it's more that 20% people think the crowd is majority women when it quantifiably is not. People might be emotionally overestimating the "market share" of foreign media in the US and foreign actors in US media.

Anyone who recs the plagiarized piece of trash on the bottom deserves a slap in general.

[(Anonymous)]

There are quite a few c-dramas I enjoyed, but Nirvana in Fire was my first and I feel like nothing has reached it so far. Haven't seen either of those two.

[(Anonymous)]

Oh wow, yeah these two are... nothing like NiF or TU lol, I even like Ashes of Love but I wouldn't rec it to people who were after something like NiF, it's not the same genre at all.

This movie was so tragic. Me sitting there crying into my popcorn over a fucking Godzilla movie. (even knowing the history of Godzilla/the allegory stuff etc, it still ripped my heart out)

Aw! Damn he's a handsome man!
I agree. I didn't like his hair in later seasons (5-6) I didn't think it suited him as much.
I also have opinions on Scully's hair and they're not particularly positive.
