Thank you

Jouseph Bologne de Saint-Georges, not Jean. He was Guadeloupeanand his real story was more tragically than this movie shows from the trailer. Hope the whole film would be more correct to his story

I thought it was Anna at first then got confused by the actor credits 😂

Yes! i thought it was Anya in the thumbnail lol

Her uncle is Hugo Weaving, of the Matrix films and Priscilla, Queen of the Desert.

WHEN I SEE THE THUMBNAIL I THOUGHT SHE WAS ANYA TAYLOR JOY

I thought it's Anya when clicked

I think it depends on who knows who. I haven’t heard of Kelvin before but I am looking forward to seeing his work in this :)

Think about it. That's literally how history and people have treated men and women like him.

The upcoming Nick Fury Marvel movie staring Sam Jackson, KZfaq didn't headline Jackson's name either and this is Sam Jackson by the way.😏

Totally agree!

Thanks for speaking up. That is how we will bring attention to this ongoing discriminatory practice and turn it around.

I have never heard of this shaker and mover of a man. I only found this movie by watching beautiful actor Samara Weaving on Corden's show.

The justin bieber of his time.. Another appropriating fiction to saite self esteem problems

I did think that was a bizarre choice

Reminds me of the first trailer I watched for The Crown, which listed Matt Smith and left Claire Foy's name out entirely.

Top billing for these trailers isn't about recognition, it's about eyeballs. For the moment, Samara Weaving gets those, and Kelvin doesn't. His next movie, hopefully this is different.

Incorrect. I’m not commenting on the actors legally negotiated billing but rather the choice of the administrators of this particular site to post the trailer but not list the name of the actor who plays the titular character. Ugly move.

now we know this was posted by that other race

I agree with you about "colorblind" casting for historical characters is annoying, especially because Hollywood has changed historical people of color to white characters since movies existed, for example The Impossible movie with Naomi Watts, the real person wasn't a blonde white woman... so whatever the race change, I agree it's annoying. But "twisting already established fictional characters..." funny that for centuries of filmmaking, no one has ever cared about that when a fictional character of color is turned white, but vice versa there is a bunch of butthurt outrage

@@nwandoe3599 And second: It's okay to do a cultural twist sometimes. Fairy tales change and have been retold anyway. The oldest Cinderella tale is set in Ancient Egypt (Rhodopis). It's always the question about the goals behind art. Art is of course expressing reality, and also getting "updates". It's always that we relate to someone similar, and this audience-focus and target-group-production is always a matter. Expanding a limited story tgrough adaptiond and is okay, but it shouldn't feel like "stolen". That is why "The Princess and the frog" had not get the backlash. It would have been also okay if it had been closer to the original tale. But sometimes it feels also like writing a fictional, illusional fairy tale past. Cultures need fairy tales and people need identification as well "representation". And now, the present is moving together, also the past is getting a "cultural mixture". Because history and fairy tales are mirroring always the present time. But knowledge is a different. Most people in the past didn't know so much about other cultures and projected their own imagination in it. But if we really know how a character looks or a historical character had been, we yearn to keep this image. We're no idiots...

Yes but i cant help but see the political agenda behind it no matter what, im sure the director made it with today racial tensions in mind...

@@F.R.F937 Creating an instance of art that in some way reflects the current times is not a 'political agenda'. This is what art has always done and will always do. If you'd stop indoctrinating yourself with anti-woke hysterical propaganda for a second it might help you not melt like a snowflake everytime you see a person of color in a movie trailer...

@@West-Telecom unpetty? what even is that word? or do you mean unpretty? if so, that's because he does not have the european face structure we expect people to have due to so many white people being on our screens.

A story worth seeing is Alexander Dumas.

@@jamesgoines7663 Definitely!

@@alexanderlamkio9321 my apologies for my ignorance

I'm sorry but I thought you were going to tell a happy story 😭

@@janejane6754 had me in the first half ngl 😭

I would love to see a youthful trend to classical music!

I can't believe it wasn't done a long time ago.

Wait until you find out about Dumas and his son lol happy researching!

Aren't Jewish movies just great

@@tjz7737 I am going to use your comment for my argument in a discussion about intelligence of internet culture. Thank you for this 🙏

@@tjz7737 Aw, man! It seems to have it's disappeared! Don't worry, I'll transcribe it from the screenshot of it that I have, and write it here again for you 😇🤗

Of course, no one would be bothered otherwise.

Les Français n'avaient qu'à faire le film. Après tout, c'est leur histoire. Mais vous savez quoi ? Bizarrement, le sujet n'a pas trouvé preneur…

@@heliedecastanet1882 Pour un énième Astérix et Obélix, il y a du monde et des financement en tout cas..

@@Cassandra-yj5tz Hé oui…

Mappa Studio made anime about Yasuke. And I've heard about live action movie, but I believe it wasn't made. I think they just don't want to explore and research. It's much easier to change race of well-known person than to look for real people of color in history

@@nadezhdaversh i heard Chadwick Boseman was interested in playing Yasuke. His untimely death probably put a stop ( or a big crank) on the process…. ☹️

Qu'est ce que tu racontes t'avais juste à aller à la bibliothèque et faire tes recherches et tu trouvais mdr ne blame personne de ton manque de curiosité

It's not lack of curiousity. If the schools don't teach about different historical figures, it's the fault of the schools for not bringing this information to people's attention. There's only so much a person can learn on their own without guidance. If the information is suppressed or passed over, whose fault is that?

I would love a movie about Alexandre Dumas father Thomas-Alexandre Dumas Davy de la Pailleterie, and I mean the true story of him.

Now people know the truth. Raised in a white city and nation and culture, pampered and privileged he learned to play a violin? Gee, and here i thought France was so intolerant. Is truth so hard to fathom that we must invent farces to boost self esteem?

no it was for French composer Rodolphe Kreutzer, though i thought it was for a romantic piece first

@@johnkelly-zg3mx Technically, we are both right, from Wikipedia: “Beethoven originally dedicated the sonata to George Bridgetower, the violinist at its first performance, but after a quarrel he revised the dedication in favour of Kreutzer.”

Check his music out for sure, it's gorgeous!

History is written by conquerors hence it’s always going to be reshaped by those who take advantage of matters. Doesn’t matter the race, it’s all about power and gain

@@haikaikokoni369_ Well somebody made a way out of no way to get this film to the screen. I hope there'll be more period dramas celebrating minority historical figures.

For french people, only genius is important !! We don't care about the colour or something else!! Lot of American musician or writer went to France to find freedom !! Lot of student went to study art in France because it was forbidden in USA during this time !

Who is history?

Half White, Half Black......but nice try

Hey, Mustavo ! If you are referring to Thomas Alexandre Davy de la Pailleterie, later known as the Général Dumas (name of his mother), he was actually the father, not the grand-father, of Alexandre Dumas the elder (author of "Les Trois Mousquetaires", "Monte Cristo" etc). There is a movie in development by a French production, but I can't tell you when it will be released.

@@heliedecastanet1882 Yes, I stand corrected.

@@mustavogaia2655 You're welcome 🙂

I hope they do all three (maybe four Dumas). Each had a fascinating life and accomplishments. Start with the war hero move on to the two writers then end with an Olympic athlete.

@@BlackDoveNYC Given they are doing the movie in this trailer is almost odd that a Dumas movie hadnt been made yet - I mean, other than 3 musketeers and Monte Cristo which are based on real passages of the first Dumas' life.

The beginning of the trailer has a clean transition between him playing the violin and then using his sword at 0:20

VPN

It's for the benefit of the audience.

See the movie as a catalyst for further research.

Where did you learn that?

@@xXbubbelXx a documentary about Moorish influence on the romantic period. I forgot the name but it made me start listening to him two years ago. You can hear a lot of similarities between him and Mozart in his compositions and he’s older than Wolfgang

@@lilicreature9082 But Amadeus was his fathers idiol when he was just a teen. But Amadeus made his first consert in his six and for royality. But Amadeus was Saliery’s student and he’d never seen Saint George.

@@West-Telecom Yeah, that’s what I read about Wolfgang’s upbringing when I was in the fourth grade. Read about the Moors

@@lilicreature9082 First i know about the moors. Then Mozart really was a mad man. He was in his own world.And what ??? This’s not that new. You couldn’t listen his chedevres or understand Mozarts philosophy just read something what never’would change anything ??? A jeweler knows how much gold is worth, no you.
