Shia LaBeouf anklages for at spille mexicansk karakter – men det gør han ikke, svarer instruktør David Ayer.
Traileren til David Ayers nye film “The Tax Collector” blev straks efter dens online debut mødt med kritik – #Brownface begyndte at trende på Twitter.
Det skyldes, at “The Tax Collector” udspiller sig i et mexicansk miljø i Los Angeles, men med hvide Shia LaBeouf i hovedrollen.
Den kombination satte straks gang i anklager om såkaldt ‘Brownfacing’, hvor en brun karakter spilles af en hvid – det er dog ikke tilfældet.
Instruktør David Ayer tager nu til genmæle over for kritikerne, der har misforstået præmissen i “The Tax Collector”, hvor LaBeouf netop spiller en hvid karakter – i øvrigt den eneste hvide i hele filmen.

You just told them. It ain’t a cop movie. And Shia is playing something very specific. Not brown face. https://t.co/MZMugrPu9r

Really important answer – Shia is playing a whiteboy who grew up in the hood. This is a Jewish dude playing a white character. Also the only white dude in the movie 💁♂️ https://t.co/PS6foJwQXV

"Jews were beaten in the streets, not by Nazi soldiers, but by their neighbours - even by children. I condemns all that Nazis did and stood for, but because history is edited, most people today don't realize, that to get to the point where Nazi soldiers could easily round up thousands of Jews, the government first made their own neighbours hate them simply because they were Jews. How is that any different from hating someone for their political views - left or right?"

Kunne aldrig drømme om at kalde en hvid mand i en hvid rolle for "brownfacing". Det er jo bare for dumt. Generelt er det et vanvittigt begreb.
