黑人模特朱迪•特纳-史密斯出演16世纪最著名的英国王后安妮•博林，当然，这位是一个白人女性，亨利八世曾为他神魂颠倒。这个令人挠头的选择引发网络争议，《安妮•博林》播出首集后遭遇差评,除了“历史不准确”的批评外,也有网友对这部剧感到“乏味”和“无聊”。
Why Channel 5’s Anne Boleyn is a Black woman – a look at the real Anne
Channel 5’s psychological thriller Anne Boleyn stars Jodie Turner-Smith as Henry VIII’s ill-fated second wife Anne Boleyn, now considered to be one of the most influential queen consorts in history.
近日，在英国第五频道（Channel 5）播出的心理惊悚片《安妮•博林》中，黑人演员朱迪•特纳-史密斯饰演命运悲惨的亨利八世的第二任妻子安妮•博林，她被认为是历史上最有影响力的王后之一。
The producers used identity-conscious casting for the series, similar to how theatre productions have long approached casting historical plays.
制片人在剧中采用了“身份意识选角方式”，类似于剧院制作长期以来采用的历史剧选角方式。
The three-part series is described as a “re-imagining” of Anne Boleyn’s life, re-examining her final five months and her legacy through a feminist lens.
这部三集电视剧被描述为对安妮•博林生活的“重新想象”，通过女权主义的视角重新审视她最后五个月的生活和她的遗产。
But who was the real Anne Boleyn, and how did Channel 5 approach casting the famous Tudor figure?
但真正的安妮•博林是什么样的呢，第 5 频道是如何选出演员饰演这位著名的都铎王朝人物的？
Why is Channel 5’s Anne Boleyn a Black woman?
为什么第 5 频道的安妮•博林是黑人女性？
The real-life Anne Boleyn, whose portrait hangs in the National Portrait Gallery and whose appearance was documented in contemporary records, was a white woman.
真实的安妮•博林是一位白人女性，她的肖像被挂在英国国家肖像馆，她的外表也被当代记录所记载。
In Channel 5’s Anne Boleyn, various key characters are played by Black actors, including Anne Boleyn (played by Jodie Turner-Smith) and her brother George Boleyn (Paapa Essiedu), who were both eventually executed on the orders of Henry VIII.
在第 5 频道的安妮•博林中，黑人演员扮演了各种关键角色，包括安妮•博林（朱迪•特纳-史密斯饰）和她的兄弟乔治•博林（Paapa Essiedu），他们最终都在亨利八世的命令下被处决。
Thalissa Teixeira, who stars as Henry VIII’s mistress Madge Shelton, said that the inclusion of Black actors in Anne Boleyn was not an example of colour-blind casting, but instead an example of being “identity-conscious”.
饰演亨利八世的情妇玛奇•谢尔顿的塔丽莎•特谢拉认为，让黑人演员饰演安妮•博林并不是色盲选角的一个例子，而是“身份意识”的一个例子。
According to Channel 5, identity-conscious casting “makes space for and embraces how actors and artists can bring their whole identities or even parts of their identities to a character. Actors from minority backgrounds that are not often represented on screen can therefore claim parts that correspond to their personal identities, without being limited by them”.
根据第 5 频道的说法，有身份意识的选角“为演员和艺术家将他们的整个身份或部分身份带入角色创造了空间。因此，屏幕上不常出现的少数族裔演员可以扮演与他们的个人身份相对应的部分，而不受他们种族的限制。”
Not bound by the “casting constraints historically adopted within period dramas,” this approach gave the Anne Boleyn producers the freedom to tell Anne Boleyn’s story in a way that will “resonate broadly with a contemporary audience”.
不受“时代剧中历来采用的选角限制”的约束，这种方法使安妮•博林的制片人可以自由地以“与当代观众产生广泛共鸣”的方式讲述安妮•博林的故事。
