| Laurence Olivier in full makeup as Othello, opposite Frank Finlay's Iago in Stuart Burge's 1965 film version, based on their National Theatre production. |
This is a story that really caught my attention not only because the article is related to my field of work but also by the fact that it is amazing how even now acts like this can happen today.
The article mainly talks how in Germany until to
this day used for roles in plays which would correspond to race
people used white actors with black makeup.
Although in Germany is a sensitive issue the fact of
the discriminationbut in the article notes that even in this country
these things are being done.
This also speaks of this practice as happening in
other countries but over time has been exceded.
Personally I find it
horrible that these practices are not accepted where people of color continue
to be used.
I will not have the assurance that this practice have been occurred in Chile of use the makeup as a form of discrimination but as a classic way of characterization.
I hardly think that at least in this country exist this kind of racial discrimination in the
field of theater and arts but do not rule it out as a possibility that is given
beyond.
Just unfortunately in this country and not only in this but in the
world I think there is such a demand to be white or have certain
characteristics to be considered for a role in a movie or a play.
It would be good to try in some way to extend this requirement,
not only close to a kind of beauty but take more into account the actor's
talent rather than his appearance
