>>64306955
And so what if they do have a black actor? Are you really that fucking bothered?
>>64307038
it was an example of a previous classic novel adaptation by the bbc that did such a thing.
Obviously I have not seen this one.
I'm looking forward to Dolokhov and his hilarious antics like tying an officer to a bear.

Actually should be okay, Napoleonic battles were just SMOKE FUCKING EVERYWHERE SMOKE, you can barely see what is going on. They can use some CGI for when Andrei is scouting around in Austerlitz, it'll be fine.
Will it be jusr as bad as The last kingdom. A lot of talk and hardly anything happening and when it does it is short compared to all the shit you have to hear.
>>64307423
I dont want black people in my 19th century russian costume drama
I would fully expect them in a drama set in modern london, or historical Jamaica.

>Greatest book even written
Awww, this isn't The Karamazhov Brothers, senpai
>>64307542
Well, like I said, parts of it are basically WRITTEN as Smoke and shakeycam, or the literally equivalent. Borodino could be rendered perfectly that way, also most of Nikolai's experiences. Andrei in Austerlitz is the only time you even should see large troop movements.
The most budget sapping shit should be the large crowd scenes in Moscow.
>>64307514
>I would fully expect them in a drama set in modern london
You do know black people didn't spring into existence in Europe n the 20th century, right?

Well that would be kind of in line with the book. Its really 90% Peace (read: parties) and 10% war.
>>64306045
I don't' like the tradition of casting big square jawed handsome men as Andrey. He should be tall but with a kind of lithe face imo
Pierre is hard to fuck up though, its all in the costume

Anglos don't really have souls or hearts so this is going to be a train wreck of a movie. Also since it's BBC production you can expect some blacks and packis forced in.
>>64306955
When it comes to minorities, BBC usually cast them in ridiculous ways for the more family friendly shows (Doctor Who, The Musketeers).
For extensive period dramas like this where they put in some budget, or post-watershed dramas, they tend to be a little more realistic.
The recent Ten Little Niggers/And Then There Were None drama that was on showed the BBC "does" have some restraint here and there.

Hello reddit
I don't get the anger over minorities in historical shows/films.
History is just a story and stories change over time, if you can improve on history why not? You're supposed to learn from history and altering it to add values that we all now hold as important should be celebrated.

I wouldn't choose to do it either, but if you're writing off an entire network just because of some shit tier meme that you're only even aware of because you spend 8 hours a day on 4chan than you are in no position to criticise anyone for anything. I bet you didn't watch Wolf Hall, or Great Expectations, or any other of the excellent adaptations that the BBC has made over the last couple of years that featured exactly 0 displaced minorities.
And yet you have the tenacity to call me Reddit when your only exposure to British TV is Dr Who?
>complains about the possibility of niggers in a tv show he hasn't even watched yet
>wanks furiously over blue-eyed anglo robert powell playing jesus
>>64311709
He's right though, history and the past are not the same thing. History is the medium we use to discuss the past.
Its just that your wikipedia educated brain can't deal with things presented even slightly in a complex way
>>64311653
It doesnt improve if you slap a few niggers in there
There's one black person in War and Peace, if I remember correctly. They find him intriguing and refer to him as being grey, and he's only mentioned in passing.

>>64312022
And you were conceived with hopes of making something of your life beyond crying about ethnic minorities on TV shows but here we are.

No, I'm going to entertain the thought that Dr Who is a light entertainment show and you are way out of your depth by being as clearly emotionally affected by it as you are.
I'll also suggest that you are clearly unintelligent and think that reading a few select wikipedia articles makes you intelligent when actually you're incapable of thinking beyond awful 4chan memes.
Its not that you're stupid, its just that you're so stupid in such a bland and unoriginal way. You may call people Reddit, but you are 4chan. You are everything which is awful about this site.

So are miniseries made by HBO and BBC purely Emmy bait and for prestige purposes?
I like miniseries more than tv shows because they are more focused but I won't deny that nobody really gives a shit about them. For a TV show its generally an investment for producers which spans several seasons.
For a miniseries they have way better acting, directing and production values like costumes and props. Yet their ratings are generally really fucking low but BBC and HBO keep on shitting them out. I just don't see them as financially successful.

British tv shows have way lower production values than regular Murrican shows. What the fuck you talking about
>>64323739
Why would they need to be financially successful. I don't think you know how the BBC works.

How does it work?
>>64323832
It's financed by the British public through the TV license, not through commercial activities.

So its literally paid for by the government?
That's pretty nice of them
I mean citizens who pay Taxes can claim to be Producers now.

"literally", no.

If by regular shows you mean some 24 episode network shit that you need a reality check.
American tv shows have high production values only if they are a mini (10 to 12 episodes) and even then it's not guaranteed.
British shows are usually minis so while they have a lot of low budget shows there are always some gems.
This year there was 'And then there were none' for example which looked stunning in my opinion.
Also I find that British shows are often more visually interesting.

Some countries value the arts as a public good of necesssity.
If Cameron gets his way, the UK won't

>paid for by the government
No, it's paid by citizens directly as a license fee.
And if I understand correctly they don't really have a choice.

There is topless nudity from the main females in some eps apparently, but I doubt any full frontal nudity. Most actresses are probably fully shaved, which makes it hard for historical accuracy

This looks fucking shit. Just like the book.

Black Mirror is great though. For all its flaws, there is no show doing anything even remotely similar.
God I fucking love Dano lads

That doesn't make it good, which it isn't. It's pleb-tier garbage.
