Thinking rn of when Elizabeth Taylor, at 37, wanted to play anne boleyn in Anne of the thousands days and was told she was “too long in the tooth” and this was like, nodded and agreed with even by feminist scholar Susan bordo in creation of Anne boleyn
And then I had to go see Napoleon and see a geriatric Joaquim Phoenix limp across the siege of Toulon. A near 50 year old man playing a 23 year old, even as he flirts with a woman who is meant to be 6 years his senior but is actually precisely the age Josephine should be, in her 30s, in contrast to his, again, late 40s.
And it’s like hm.
Hmm.
Hmmmmmmm.
You can play Young Napoleon at 23 when you’re 50
But you can’t play Anne Boleyn, who may have died when she was about 32, at 37. I wonder why. Hmm. I wonder. I wonder,, I wonder why that is, hmmmmmm
