[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm getting what OP is alluding to. In the last 5-10 years there's been a major shift to how historical productions are made. Accuracy isn't the focus. It's the Bridgertonization of history. In the first place, would they even make a movie about Adam, an old and stale white dude? A movie about Jefferson would end up 99% black and sharply critical of the founding fathers and the US constitution and declaration of Independence.

So, no, a movie about Adam wouldn't be the same any more. It'd probably morph into a movie about Abigail Adam, and they'd invent a radical black feminist lesbian best friend for her and imply a secret love affair between the two. Girl bosses are all the rage these days. [/quote]

This is a little embarrassing to have to say, but, it’s Adams. [/quote]

Shhh... don't interrupt the navel gazing

Whatever. Phone autocorrects can be annoying. But so are most of the badly made historical productions of the past decade. The twist would be that the black ex slave feminist lesbian would be the real genius behind John Adam(s!) who'd simply be plagiarizing her letters.[/quote]
