>>35278giancarlo esposito is overcasted these days but I don't think he would be terrible. Not that this would normally be important, but Touissant was full black and not mixed, where as Giancarlo Esposito is mixed. Part of what's surprising about Touissant's rise to power is that he was full black. Non white elites in Haiti usually were drawn from the mixed race population. They had a 3 tier race system with "coloreds" (mixed european/african) in the middle, "blacks" at the bottom, and "whites" at the top. L'Ouverture and later Dessalines fought this tiered system, with Dessalines abolishing it altogether, with all Haitian civilians (including, comically, Polish volunteers in Dessalines' army who were
not killed off like the white French were) were granted a legal status of "black."

Personally I think Toussaint would really need to be cast as a fairly unknown actor. It's kind of goofy when you have historical figures cast with famous actors like Daniel Day Lewis as Lincoln or Gary Oldman as Churchill or Joaquin Phoenix as Napoleon.
>>35282Giancarlo Esposito would be a miscast tbh, I just wanted to suggest a Toussaint movie.
>>35283He would have had an interesting take on the character no doubt, but I think a revolutionary might have been a bit outside of his range. Never saw him show the kind of charisma you would expect from that kind of character, especially one who did as many deals as L'Ouverture did. He was good as a leader in Boardwalk Empire but a very different kind of character.
Also that's a posthumous painting like most depictions of him so we don't have a very accurate idea how he looked.

Most well-known movies that aren't capeshit too look forward to right now:
-Toy brand adaptation but it's also Subversive, ooooh
-Cillian Murphy playing epic stoic sigma male from Peaky Blinders but disguised as an equally cheesy historical biopic
-Joaquin Phoenix playing awkward guy with cracking voice but disguised as an equally cheesy historical biopic

>>35292It's the opposite, really. The chinlets have won, at least culturally. Almost everything in the "mainstream" is mediocre trash to their taste now. The only thing they can complain about now is some side character in capeshit being a woman or black or LGBT or whatever.
No.35295
>>35294>The chinlets have won, at least culturally.No, because nobody really likes them. You can't market to both normies and chinlets because anything explicitly for or even associated with chinlets is tainted. For example, having a Gab account means that you're almost certainly a Neo-Nazi. Look at what is happening to Twitter. Elon Musk's attempt to bring the chinlets mainstream has been a disaster because people don't want to be associated with Neo-Nazis.

>>35294the mainstream is a mixture of "chinlet" stuff (western chauvinism, mainly in the form of US foreign policy glowies pulling the strings on hollywood as detailed in the book "national security cinema") and "anti-chinlet" stuff (vulgar anti-billionaire politics, but not really marxist, and pro-radlib idpol representational stuff). That's the liberal hegemony all over. They can't fix class in a bourgeois dictatorship, but they can kick the can down the road with idpol concessions and threatening to become Teddy Roosevelt style trustbusters if the monopolies get too strong. This leaks into the media.
