Mads Mikkelsen and Danish director deliver perfect response to concern-mongering about 'lack of diversity' in new film about 18th-century Nordic soldier - TheBlaze: 

Filmmakers behind a new period drama set in Denmark around the 1750s were recently confronted over their film's apparent "lack of diversity." After all, now is the time when Oscar nominations hinge upon whether a given production checks various boxes pertaining to the sex, sexual preference, and race of those involved, when Snow White of Germanic folklore is Colombian and the Grecian Cleopatra of historical record is black. Rather than apologizing for having prioritized the integrity of their art over identity politics, actor Mads Mikkelsen and Danish director Nikolaj Arcel laughed off the accusation and pointed out a critical fact worth considering.
