Funny people whine Dastan was whitewashed when Prince Caspian from Chronicles of Narnia was too. I mean he wasn't
Not to sound like an annoying grandma but, back in the day, EVERYONE in that movie subgenre was:
Hello? Imhotep from " The Mummy", anyone?
Let's be realists, people only complain when it is about one of the old movies they don't like themselves or particularly care about. Internet loved classics don't face the same harsh criticism and, when those do, people suddenly remember to put the film in context.
Same happens with all the criticism regarding Troy in comparison to 300. Nobody complains about 300 because it is a beloved classic of the decade, but everyone is quick to throw Troy under the bus.
Prince of Persia suffers from the same problem. People ignore the context because they don't care enough or dislike the movie itself, not just its potential problematic elements.
That being said, you can only understand Jake Gyllenhall's Dastan if you put him in the context of the decade. Back then, if you look close at all the other movies of the time, it made perfect sense. It was great casting for the standards of that period in film history.
It may be wrong to most today, but it made sense in the 2000's. All movies were like that, even the ones people nowadays still praise online.

Astrology (especially the more accurate, Vedic) affects your looks and Ben and Andrew have the same birthday... Meaning, it is impossible for one to be ugly and the other not.
Those casting directors were just being dicks
Absolutely. This casting director in particular was a big asshole.
