'Gods of Egypt' trailer has gods that don't look Egyptian in an Egypt that never existed
Who greenlit this?
By Donna Dickens  @MildlyAmused

After outcry from both critics and movie-goers, Lionsgate and director Alex Proyas have officially apologized for the casting debacle that is “Gods of Egypt.” They addressed the controversy in a statement released to Forbes.

From director Alex Proyas:

“The process of casting a movie has many complicated variables, but it is clear that our casting choices should have been more diverse. I sincerely apologize to those who are offended by the decisions we made.”

From Lionsgate:

“We recognize that it is our responsibility to help ensure that casting decisions reflect the diversity and culture of the time periods portrayed. In this instance we failed to live up to our own standards of sensitivity and diversity, for which we sincerely apologize. Lionsgate is deeply committed to making films that reflect the diversity of our audiences. We have, can and will continue to do better.??”

ORIGINAL ARTICLE BELOW:

Well, it’s here. The trailer for “Gods of Egypt” dropped today and whoo boy, it is a hot mess. I can overlook a lot of the sillier aspects: “Stargate” did the magical animal-headed armor first so fine, the gods being huge compared to the mortals is whatever. I can even overlook the insane visuals of an Egyptian landscape that never existed since the pyramids were built in the desert sands on the West side of the Nile (and later in the Valley of the Kings) and not smack dab in the middle of town and they certainly didn’t have pedestrian superhighways…but hey, the “Rule of Cool” reigns supreme.

(pendapat manja psl paragraph atas ni..come on la...this is a FANTASY movie...NOT a history lesson...)..

What I can’t get behind? How insultingly white the cast is. We have the gods Horus (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) and Set (Gerard Butler) along with Ra (Geoffrey Rush). Thoth (Chadwick Boseman) and Hathor (the half-Cambodian Elodie Yung) are the only actors of color among the immortals. On the mortal side we have the hero Bek (Brenton Thwaites), who looks about as Egyptian as the Pillsbury Doughboy.

Like someone with short-term memory loss, Hollywood seems incapable of learning from their mistakes when it comes to whitewashing characters. Earlier this year Ridley Scott rightfully took flak for casting “Exodus: Gods and Kings” with nothing but white people. “Pan” received blowback for casting Rooney Mara as Tiger Lily. The heat is already on with the announcement that Scarlett Johansson will play the lead in “Ghost in the Shell.” So should we really be surprised that “Gods of Egypt” is rehashing the same problems?

Probably not. But that doesn’t mean we can’t be confounded by it. And the whitewashing extends beyond the main cast and into the background actors. Every shot from the trailer is a sea of white faces in what — based on the pyramids being the height of their glory and the verdant nature of the Nile is the Old Kingdom/Fifth Dynasty (2494 B.C. - 2345 B.C.) — should be a decidedly non-white period of Egyptian culture. And yet…

( manja x kisah sgt...psl kokesen sana sini dlm movie mcm ni...maybe sbb dh terbiase tgk kokesen jadi pak arab...dlm hollywood movies..ok la tu kulit putih hidung mancung..2x5 je)

Kat imdb ... rating teruk bangat sebab most of them tak puas hati ... reason - kisah raja raja mesir telah diputar belitkan ... they expect mobie ni menceritakan kisah benar based on fact ttg raja raja mesir purba kala. Well ... kalo dah dimobiekan ... it's okie kalo fakta tersebut diputar belitkan ... Mobie tanpa imagination dan fantasy mmg membusankan ... afterall it just a mobie. Bukannya based on real story pun ...

Iols mmg rasa tak nyesal nonton mobie ni semalam. Mmg super funtastic. CGI nampak macam real ... jalan citer pun senang nak hadam. Full of action dan memang puas hati sesangat ler.

Apa yang iols paham ttg mobie nie ..:
~ Raja raja mesir yang dikatakan keturunan tuhan. Saiz badan mereka lebih besar daripada manusia biasa... berdarah emas dan berkemampuan menukar diri mereka menjadi binatang. Raja-raja ini lah yang disembah oleh rakyat marhaien.
~ Pada era pemerintahan Osiris .. rakyat rakyat kena mengumpul harta kekayaan sebanyak yang mungkin untuk membolehkan mereka melepas pintu perbicaraan. Sekiranya mencukupi, mereka akan dilahirkan semula ... kalo kurang ... maka akan dihapuskan .. masuk neraka...
~ Seth pula very ambitious. Dia nak menjadi The One. Dia nak menjadi tuhan kepada tuhan dan manusia ... dek tak puah hati kerana disuruh menjadi pemerintah kat gurun, sebab itulah seth membunuh abangnya ... untuk mengambil alih tampuk pemerintahan kat lembah nil ... lembah kepada segala benda benda hidup. Sanggup membunuh bapanya sekali i.e. tuhan ra...
~ Biler Horus berjaya mengalahkan Seth ... dia telah menukar rules. Instead of reta kekayaan .... manusia akan dibicarakan afterlife berdasarkan kepada 'pahala-pahala' dan 'dosa-dosa' yang telah mereka lakukan semasa hidup...
~ Kacian tuhan ra ... ingat dah pencen .. sekali nengok .. masih lagi gegeh bekerja kat langit utk menghalau binatang hitam (black hole i guess) yang memakan apa jer yang berada dalam laluannya. Yang ni iols rasa kelakar sesangat
~ Dewa dewi mesir ni pun macam manusia jugek ... ada nepsew ... ada emosi ... beranak pinak etc. Ingat mereka yang paling berkuasa .. ghuper2nya .. mereka pun percaya ada lagi tuhan yang lebih power

Overall ... mmg agak menarik ler mobie nie. Sesuai utk tontonan orang dewasa. Bebudak ... kena ada parent yang guide ... takut nanti akidah mereka terpseong biler nonton mobie ni.

dah bagi rebiu tadi .. tapi ciput jer ...

munafik mmg best ... leh lak iols layan sampai habis sebab iols ni not really into malay mobies ...

citer berkisar pasai ustaz adam .. dan maria serta keluarganya ... ustaz adam ni pengamal perubatan islam ... maria ni lak kena sampuk hantu/setan ... so, ustaz adam ni datang ler nak mengubat si maria. Pada masa yang sama, ustaz adam pun menghadapi masalah jiwa/dalaman sebab bini dia baru meninggal dalam kemalangan ...

mmg banyak ler unsur unsur suspen ... dan sepanjang citer berjalan, mmg kepala asik speku .. sapa yang jahat sebenarnya sampai membuat si maria sakit cenggitu sekali .. even sampai menganggu kehidupan ustaz adam dan membunuh tok imam kampung ...

tetapi sumanya terungkai toward end of the movie ... sumanya berkaitan antara  satu sama lain ... dan yang pasti ... expect unexpected ... sebab jawapan kepada kesemua tu mmg unsungkerable langsung ...

Seth or Set was the god of desert and storms who later also became associated with chaos and darkness. He was painted as a man with the head of a dog with a long snout and forked tail but he was sometimes also depicted as pig, crocodile, scorpion and hippopotamus. Seth is also one of the leading characters of the legend of Osiris and Isis, and as a result of the growing popularity of the Osiris cult, Seth became demonized and his images were removed from the temples. In some parts of ancient Egypt, however, he continued to be worshiped as one the chief deities.

Hathor was the cow goddess who was associated with dancing and music but she was also known as the Lady of Heaven, Earth and the Underworld. She was very popular among ancient Egyptians and was seen as wise, gentle and affectionate to both the living and dead. She protected women during pregnancy and childbirth, and was also worshiped as goddess as fertility. Hathor was most often portrayed as a woman with cow horns featuring uraneus (Wadjet and sun disc).
