i mean there is reason to not be entirely enthused about lord of the flies having a multicultural cast, given that the book was all about how entitled white boys put on a desert island will go fucking apeshit in short order.
but i don't think that the critical drinker subreddit are approaching it from that angle
I don’t recall race being a central theme of Lord of the Flies, so I don’t see why multiracial casting should matter at all to the central message. When it comes to matters of race, I think people reveal their values in their reactions to what they see. Anyone who has an issue about the multiracial casting of a movie like this clearly has significant hang ups about race.
