I am greek.

greeks are white
t. greek

The ancient greeks were brown right?

Because Hollywood has no greek actors you fuckfaced shit eating getshotter.

Not always, sometimes like this

why not?

No one complained when two Jews played the leads in a viking movie

jews are honorary aryans

Come to think of it Kirk Douglas was Spartacus too.

So all lands between the Aeagean and the North Sea are basically Jews

alexander was macedonian and therefore slavic

Because they have nothing going for them and aren't white so they are portrayed as white and buff. Portrayed as strong and athletics.

Why?? Because ancient Greeks looked like pic related you dummy

irrelevant he spoke greek, also irish are not slavic

looks like a dark souls character

wait, collin farrell is irish? i thought he was gayyy

Current Greeks are North African immigrants, as are all the other South Europeans. Real native Europeans resembled Vikings back in the day.

A lot of the actors in it could pass for Greek or south euro, bloom looks pretty med

his cherry ass is bloomed alright

It's always the important guys the ones that are portrayed as to be Germanic looking, the secondary actors are almost always Southern European/Arab looking

But Colin Farrell looks like this normally

They bleached his hair and eyebrows before they would let him play Alexander

I guess they did it to make him stand up more, and of course blonde hair has always been portrayed in Hollywood as the hair color of angels and heroes.

WE

>Hector
>secondary

Not at all and that guy has a German mother and Croatian father. Other Euros have dark features too.

Yeah no.

Achilles was described as a blonde blue-eyes white dragon tho

Not many people know that one of the Spartans with a speaking role in 300 was a legit Lebanese Arab

>but muh racism

white devils wewuzing

Macedonia the cunt and Macedonia the region in northern Greece are two very separate things. Alexander the Great was greek

Have u seen some sculptures, greek art??

>one of the Spartans with a speaking role in 300 was a legit Lebanese Arab
That's the shame with the Middle East. They'd be on the same level as Southern Europe if not for *slam.

Unlike Roman sculptures, Greek sculptures were all idealized samefaces (except for Socrates). On the other hand the Romans painstakingly tried to make the sculptures of their famous figures and emperors as accurate as possible. This is why (good) movies about Romans always try to pick actors that look the part. Even in the fucking live action Asterix movies, they have an actor that kind of looks the part for Caesar. He has that weird, long face with the kind of sunken in features. That's because the Romans valued accuracy over beauty and were willing to show every flaw they had. Hell, the sculptures of Cato the Elder are so wrinkly it looks like his face is melting!

if you are interested
on mortals
those features were seen as subhumans
same as we humans see you latinos

don't bully chile

Why do Romans always have English accents

ikibey bullies everyone though

ikibey ?

they used to be that until T*rks porked them for 400 years.

projecting finnish history on the Greek one

you used to be that until T*rks porked you for 80 years.

stop projecting finnish history to the Greek one

Brand pitt is greek

...

moomin is right tho.

>let us white trash slav subhumans tell us about your history

We aren't white.

Because americans indentify
old way of speaking = english accent.

light eyes
light hair

and you are white in finland

Because if they were portrayed as the ugly Turkish pseudo-African people they, white would sperg out worldwide.

turks are just porked greeks (and armenian/iranid/arabs) though ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Was he truly gay and had an Iraqi boyfriend?

I think you latino shitskin are trying to be arrogant.

Do you rate Gladiator?

He was the best character in that movie.

Dolph Lundgren was the only one not resembling.

I'm sorry but main audience of these movies wants a catharsis effect and brown people are too poor to make those jewish filmmakers rich with their pleb movies.

Because todays Greeks are shitskins that wrongfully claim Ancient Greek identity.

i am a greek

Sure they are, Blerim

when turkish shitskins are jealous of Greece

>american
>asking for why americans portray greks like this

just white people larping since their ancestors used to roll in the mud and live in huts made of feces

because he was an iberian, and spaniards are pretty good at english

that duel though.

good movie desu.

the extanded/director's cut version is absolute trash, they changed the music, wouldn't recommand.

the duel was fantastic, and the music in it

What the fuck are you on about.

>All greek sculptures were sameface
What? The idealized form from the classic era was pretty samefaced, but it was followed with 300 years of extreme individualism and expressive sculpture, just look up Hellenistic sculpture and try to tell me they are all sameface.

>Romans did not idealize and valued accuracy.
They just fucking copied the greeks, and mostly the classic sameface era. That's the reason almost all emperor portraits illustrate them as a young, beautiful and muscular, you think they actually all looked like that? There was some that took more from the hellenistic traditions and actually was portrayed more realistic, like with the portraits of emperor Vespasian. Compare them to Augustus from Prima Porta, the idealized portrait.

Because it has to appeal to a wide international audience and having a neutral, well pronounced and intelligible English accent helps. Also British actors having a rich history in historical stage plays and Hollywood has helped spread the usage of their accent.

Watch the film Centurion. After a while it ends up feeling like a bunch of English lads trying to escape Scotland lmao. Alright film though.

>tfw you can't help but vouch for the non-romans in these films

kek

more info on the one on the left?

...

At least it's not as bad as pic related (they're supposed to be Egyptians).

guy on the right looks med

He does look Gr**k

Ich bin Grieche

Are the Greeks tired of fighting each other?
