Listen, unfortunately we share this lump of rock with a lot of hateful idiots. You know that, right? In this way, we arrived at a few things people complain about the movie evil Too “woke”.
one of the most egregious influence Cynthia Erivo got the role of Elphaba because she was black. You probably know Grammy, Emmy, and Tony Award winner Cynthia Erivo. He has had an extensive career on stage and in film.
In a new interview with Elle UKCynthia said, “There was definitely talk of me taking this role as a ‘woke hire’.”
“Like everyone else, I had to audition, and I’m glad I had to,” she added. “I’m qualified for it. I’ve done the job. But I’m glad they’re confident about that choice. That’s why I’m able to take this and I worked really hard for it.” I know I had to work.”
Elsewhere in the interview, Cynthia talked about choosing practical makeup for the role. “I was conscious of not wanting to disappear under the green,” she explained. “For me, it was about using my own experience as the ‘other’, as someone who exists as such. That’s part of the reason why Elphaba has braids instead of straight hair. She That’s why they have long nails.” ”
“I immediately feel connected to her as a black woman because I think Elphaba’s otherness lies in her skin color,” she continued. “Beauty is connecting with everyone who feels other, whether it’s black, queer, or just…different.”
