Q: Should live-action movie remakes stay true to the ethnicity of the original characters?
โI donโt think so, because you donโt have to be a certain way or look a certain type to be good at something. And I donโt think that your race, or your color, or whatever, determines what you can do or what you canโt do.โ โ
โYes. It keeps the story intact and helps you visualize it better, I guess.โ
โPues yo pienso la verdad que muchos niรฑos como vemos son diferentes tipos de colores, diferentes nacionalidades, diferentes culturas. Asรญ que si ellos se sienten identificados con cierto carรกcter, pues, ยฟpor quรฉ no deberรญan ser las nuevas asรญโ?
โThat is, like, a tricky question, because at the same time you are doing what you saw. However, if you are, like, redoing it, itโs because you want to, like, include everyone as well. So, like, I feel like there is a limit. However, like, the production, sometimes they [donโt] know how to stay right in that limit instead of, like, passing that limit, you know?โ
โI feel like if the ethnicity of the character doesnโt necessarily influence the plot of the movie, it shouldnโt really be important. But if the ethnicity of the character is something that defines the character, then they should keep it as it is.โ
