What's rheatic? Never heard of that in my life until that post, time for google. I go there after reading at least ninety percent of your posts^^Most people are stupid. They probably first heard about Troy and Achilles and Agamemnon when they saw the movie. You could have set it in Ireland with Jimmy Cagney playing the lead and they wouldn't have known any difference. If you're filming a movie in ancient Rhaetic you're presumably looking for a slightly more upscale and educated audience.
I think Mexicans would care if Montezuma was played by Tom Hiddleston without altering his appearance. It's disrespectful of the culture you're supposed to be representing when you just ride roughshod over it.
If you're going to do these kinds of things, do your homework, like Mel Gibson did in Apocalypto. His problems have overshadowed how brilliantly he directed that movie.

Or, how about "The Passion of the Christ"? He didn't bring in someone like Ryan Gosling to play Jesus. OK, he didn't pick a Jewish actor, but he altered his nose, gave him brown eyes, and even darkened his skin slightly, and on and on, in the process making him rather disturbingly more attractive if I'm honest. Mary was played by a Jewish actress, though, and Mary Magdalene was played by Monica Bellucci. He didn't go casting in Norway. The Apostles look reasonably like Judaens, even if the real deal was probably more Levantine looking...

Anyway, I know the fate of nations doesn't hang on this, but I find it irritating each and every time they do this.

I don't think you'll find it spelled like that.
See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhaetian_language
The majority view is that this language is not Indo-European, but is instead related to Etruscan, although the makers might prefer to think otherwise.
So, although I guess they could be applauded for making an attempt to use an ancient language for the movie, as Gibson did in "The Passion of the Christ", for example, it's still a mistake, because that is highly unlikely to be a Copper Age Italian language. It's too young for that.
This entire movie looks like a view of Otzi from before they did any genetic analysis, i.e. all the speculation that he was some Indo-European Copper Age migrant from the steppes. HE WASN'T. He was close to being a Neolithic farmer from Anatolia.
Maybe I'm reading too much into it, but it just smells like another "Nordic" attempt to appropriate Southern European history and accomplishments. It's either that or abject stupidity. Take your pick.
If I had the time to track down the producers and the director I'd tell them exactly how I feel about it. So there!
YOU WATCHED THAT TOO? ? Lol!!!!Youtube poop memories, oh gosh the nostalgic times!!
:cool-v: He was one of our G-m201 uncles or grandparents.
Very sorry ... My G2a grandfather, father and myself, better resembles him. :grin:
These faces look pretty familiar to me from the village of southern Romania where my grandfather comes from. Similar physiognomyes. I think I do not exaggerate.I think he might have resembled these modern Sardinians (...)
I'm of the G2a haplogroup, and I do not look Sardinian, and I do not understand why Otzi would either. Haplogroups do not explain how someone looks like, they're merely a way to trace your paternal line to an event the took place thousands of years ago. Blue eyes and blonde hair existed in Europe during Otzi's time, so there is no reason as to why they shouldn't appear in the movie. Otzi was European, and he was played by a European, so there is nothing to really argue about. The movie was delightful, and told a truly stunning story. 10/10
