Is there any point producing a well researched history/period drama if the casting is 21st century inclusive?

I mean we are starting from a questionable position that historically accurate fiction in film exists in the first place.
Tell that to a historian or even a historical costumer and they will either laugh or yell at you.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow Yeah but if trends continue in 100 years time and streaming is still around etc, etc that is definitely how they will portray Zelenskyy 😂

@BritishFailedAesthetic Doubtful since he is representative of the lily white hypocrisy of liberals and conservatives alike.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow I mean, sure, there's always going to be fictionalization of history to make it more interesting to the general public, but how far do we take it? Suppose somebody wanted to do a musical bio of Alexander Hamilton starring a Hispanic guy? (That was tongue in cheek, of course. I'm aware they've already done it.)
And then there's always the question people ask when they discuss this, which is what if it was done the other way around? A white guy playing Martin Luther King, Jr would be considered a racist.
