The Sky TV mini-series about the composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, titled ‘Amadeus‘, has caused controversy because Mozart is played by a half-Japanese actor named Will Sharpe, whose mother is Japanese. Mr Sharpe spent his early years in Tokyo and is fluent in Japanese. Someone thought it would be a jolly good idea to have him as the ideal actor to portray Mozart (pictured above).
Additionally, Lorenzo Da Ponte (who wrote the libretti for three of Mozart’s works, including Così fan tutte, The Marriage of Figaro, and Don Giovanni) is portrayed by a black actor.
The woke rewriting of European history is dangerous because it erodes our cultural integrity and disrespects our shared heritage.
Imagine a TV mini-series about Nelson Mandela or Martin Luther King, depicting them as transgender individuals of half-Japanese descent. If producers celebrated this representation, insisting that anyone objecting was a racist or a bigot, the backlash would be immense.
A great danger now threatens us—the absence of pushback against wokeness and political correctness. If we do nothing, wokeness will continue to grow and accelerate.
The Bud Light fiasco was the most disastrous marketing blunder in history, and executives say it still hasn’t recovered from a nearly 30% drop in sales and an exodus of customers. Bud Light was once America’s favourite beer, but its dramatic decline began when the brand stumbled into controversy in 2023 following an advertising partnership with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney. Their alliance sparked consumer outrage, leading to declines in sales, customer satisfaction, and shareholder value. The company (Anheuser-Busch) also saw itself being surpassed in sales by Michelob Ultra and Modelo Especial.
The Bud Light incident shows what can be achieved by using ‘people power’ in the form of an anti-woke backlash against wokeness.
Therefore, if people are outraged by Sky TV’s airing of programmes that attempt to rewrite European history, they can boycott any company or service that advertises during the mini-series Amadeus. Such consumer action will demonstrate ‘people power’ and can pressure organisations to abandon woke strategies and respect traditional values.
AMADEUS premieres on Sky Atlantic and NOW on 21 December 2025.
I will watch it so you don’t have to, and I will note who advertises during it.
