this poignant melodrama's based on fact.

As a principled feminist I'm often tempted to say shit like "are men capable of higher thought" but then I have to remember not to perpetuate gender essentialism and change it to "why do men choose not to think about anything"

beatrice and bertrand are both dead. lemony is gone and never coming back. monty is dead. josephine is dead. gustav is dead, olivia is dead. jacques is dead. once brave people reduced to cowards. a whole headquarters in ashes, libraries and hospitals and carnivals in ruins. and kit is alive despite herself. like a punishment. there are many, many wicked people in the world, more and more every day, but there’s a thought in the back of her mind: what if all this comes down to just the one wicked person? the same one who gave her his mother’s ring once as a promise, and then a few years later threw it furiously into the sea. the one who kissed her on the forehead and then a few years later screamed at her that one day they’d all pay.

"My generation was bitterly divided over something that should have been so clear and right. The majority believed that what the judge said, that it was God's plan to keep people apart, and that government should discriminate against people in love. But I have lived long enough now to see big changes. The older generation's fears and prejudices have given way, and today's young people realize that if someone loves someone they have a right to marry." - Mildred Loving.

And it's like ok but classic who was made by professionals who worked very hard and often had good special effects ):<
