I'm willing to bet that the great example Sharon is talking about is that "A Knight's Tale" doesn't pretend to be history. Several choices by the director (like the music) make it very clear that it's a "fun" music so the costumes weren't quite as annoying as they could have been.

Actually, Sharon, none of the costumes were authentic in that film. I'm not sure what you are saying it's a great example of. Personally, I loved the costumes -- they had the FEEL of the historic period, while they were done in all sorts of weird fabrics, etc. I loved that whole "Breakfast at Tiffany's" outfit, and I know exactly which paintings inspired it! _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
