Zitat von Random commentary guy
As an actor, I would have suspected he'd be a little annoyed. He always played Sulu as heterosexual, the writers always intended him to be heterosexual and that informed his decisions as an artist. (...) The artistic decisions he made for the 30 years he actively portrayed his career-defining role were based on an understanding that's now been contradicted. He never once said, "Oh, I always thought Sulu could be gay and tried to put hints of that in my performance." It's projecting what people know of Takei that allows people, including the filmmakers and execs at Paramount, to think this is fine. Sulu ogled Ilia. Mirror Sulu lusted after Uhura. Sulu was the writers' first intended protagonist for the romance in "This Side of Paradise." You can argue that Roddenberry would have made a character gay if Hollywood in 1966 was what it is now, but he didn't and as an artist, Takei used that. I think he has a right to be annoyed his life's work has been undermined and that the filmmakers thought his celebrity would make this retrofit palatable to the masses. An actor's personal life is supposed to be separate from his craft onscreen.
