Right. They sort of stumbled across the ocean and accidentally landed in a country where everyone is brown.

Moroccans are not fucking brown.

da

the "slaves" actors are most definitely brown. brown skin, black hair, dark eyes. Here is the scene: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sYqa3eAAYNI

I'm tan, black hair, dark brown ayes. Still not fucking brown.

that's nice. I don't really care. the actors in this scene were still not white, though.

I think the point AYRT was trying to make is that you're calling people "brown" for daring not to look like you.

They landed in a country which matched the scenery required - namely a big desert and a coastline - and a sufficient number of skilled film crew to staff their production. It's what we in the real world call "filming on location"

*gasp* I have never heard this term before, anon. Thank you so much for educating me! You mean, films are not all made in the same place? Crazy! And Morocco is the only location where that type of scenery exists? Equally fascinating. Almost as fascinating as all the people on this thread trying to turn themselves inside out explaining how the actual visuals presented don't feed right into the "white savior" trope.

You know they didn't just film that one scene there, right? You know they film an entire story arc there for months at a time and that keeping idiots on the internet happy by hiring just exactly the right shade of extra cast for one scene doesn't trump every other consideration when it comes to picking a location.

Look, the bloody book is set in a fantasy version of that very location. Where would you suggest? Where has desert, ocean, ruins, and 1000 or more people who are pale enough to be in that scene without offending you? I suppose they should have filmed it in a sandpit in Missouri, with a paddling pool for the seaside bits. Meanwhile, Moroccans can't decide to have jobs in the movies in front of or behind the camera because of loons like you and your daft colour chart.
