    Morocco is not Central Asia and Afghans look nothing like North Africans and Arabs
    French productions typically pick up a group of actors with North African and Arabic descent to portray Eurasiatic/Central Asiatic Afghans. This proves their complete laziness and ignorance about the country and the people they are trying to depict.

    Also, how on earth could a Eurasiatic mountainous country like Afghanistan be reproduced in North Africa, tens of thousands of kilometers away is beyond comprehension and logics. Since when are Africa and Asia the same?

    Why keep perpetuating this obsolete and ridiculous post colonial orientalist perspective ?

    If I were an Afghan i would be disgusted and appalled. Imagine if Hollywood would pick up a group of Romany gypsies to portray ancient Vikings. Or if China makes a movie about ancient Franks and only picks up actors of Pakistani descent to portray french kings. That would be scandalous, right?

    Well it's exactly the same with this cast when a Maghrebi African is portraying a Eurasiatic Tadjik or Hazara. Complete nonsense and clownish.
