Sanditon: Episode #1.1 (2019)
Why all the modern hairstyles??
Regency hairstyles featured soft chignons, ringlets and curls decorated with headbands and fillets. There are plenty of fashion plates available today that were published in the regency era in England. The French national library, for example, has a brilliant online collection with every fashion plate from every issue of Costume Parisian starting from about 1800. The Regency was from 1811 through 1820. There are none which show the figure with her hair down about her shoulders. Why do television continue to get such a simple thing wrong?? It's jarring and takes this viewer right out of the regency era.
The Nightingale (2018)
Brilliant. Brutal. Beautiful. A film worth watching
I'm not eloquent or persuasive. I won't rehash the plot lines. Elaborate or expound upon the pacing, characters or cinematography. All well above nine out of ten movies you've started. This is one of those you'll always remember. Brilliant film.
Final Account (2020)
How could they not know? They did know.
Excellent documentary. It's affirmed what I always wondered - How did they not know? They did know. Maybe not at first or until after witnessing one incident or another, but by slow degrees they knew what was happening to the Jews. As one man said after Hitler took power many from the intellectual leadership who opposed him were murdered & the rest were fearful for our own lives. It's easy for us to judge them, to say I would have done etc. Would I risk/ sacrifice the lives of our loved ones to save a neighbor? I'd like to think so, but I fear I would not have done much.
Little Women (2019)
21st Century hair ruins the film
WHY won't Hollywood bother getting the hair right?!?!? I can't think of single fashion plate/period image of a woman with her down until what 1920?!? Granted I've no idea how a young woman wore her hair day to day in real life but I'm willing to bet it was the rare exception for it to be down & loose. Think about it there wasn't anything resembling normal shampoo until the 1890s or later
Why bother with that. Correct sets costumes if you can't get be bothered getting the hair right??
Military Wives (2019)
Film based on reality TV! BBC's Gareth Malone's started a real Military Wives choir
I enjoyed this, yeah it's a bit of a Lifetime movie but having seen the reality series on Youtube some years ago (google Gareth Malone Military Wives) this was a nice treat. I was moved to tears when the real ladies sang at the Royal Albert Hall and the movie did a fair job of recreating the real event. As a result of the TV show thousands of women in the UK formed choirs that are still active.
