Oh sure, I just don't understand why some people think it's so much fun
to get together and tear someone down. Which is really what's happening
in a lot of those discussions. Some feel snarking is off limits with
people they know, but the movie/TV industry is fair game.

Subject: Re: [h-cost] Costumes in "War and Peace"
I gave up on snarking at movie costumes many years ago. Movies are
fiction. They are not documentaries, they are not meant to be
educational, and they are not made primarily for viewing by historic
reenactors. In many, much of the history itself is, at best, speculation.
I don't watch movies for the costumes. I watch them to see whether it's
good drama and looking for things to criticize just spoils the drama.
When I want solid information I look elsewhere. And really, some of the
Facebook discussions sound just like catty little junior-high girls
gleefully tearing down each other's clothes.

Some of my Facebook friends are following. No one shoulder bare, or many, many, other
things. I know it's theater, but even allowing for that, seems very weird. My opinion is,
even though it is a story, it is based so firmly in a historical time and place, it seems
downright strange to go off on such flights of fancy. Wonder if there will be a
"making of" wherein it is explained?
