Yes I TOTALLY agree about that critique, all of it (it felt so out of tune
with that moment in the film!) which is a shame; I would have loved to know
more about her political activism. And when the Union soldiers were used as
a counterpoint for the editor -- iffy as well, because...that was serious
business an deserved either proper treatment or to be given a fully
fleshed out set of jokes, if that makes sense, since in general I felt that
was the tactic that they were using to confer dignity/humanity.
Do you know -- was "I died for beauty" originally a abolition poem? If yes
then 😦 I have to think much harder about that.
And to the rest YES I adored adult Sue, god I loved pretty much everyone
and everything (excepting above); it hit so many story beats so well.
I am also so so enjoying the write-ups, which are 50% "this is perfect"
and 50% scholars being like "this use of data and story telling is an
affront to how I want to think of women"
