THE HISTORY OF SOUND (2025) dir. Oliver Hermanus
Genuinely 90% of historical fiction would be so much better if more writers could get more comfortable with the fact that to create a good story set in a different time period you do actually have to give the characters beliefs & values which reflect that time period
#even if they share your values they would phrase things differently. ‘I hate to see a man hanged for it’ vs ‘love is love’ (via @aurpiment)
You can research what people actually said in history!
In 1726, when William Brown was on trial for attempted sodomy in London, he didn't say "I was born this way", he said, "“I think there is no crime in making what use I please of my own body”.
In the 12th century, Hildegard of Bingen didn't say, "A woman can do anything a man can do!", she said, God created men and women with different humours and having too much of the male elements will throw society out of balance.
In the 1860s, Millicent Garrett Fawcett didn't say, "Women are just as smart as men", she said, Men get to vote no matter how dumb they are.
In the 1850s, William Craft didn't say, "Africans are just as smart as Europeans and it's bigoted to say otherwise", he said that Africans have thick skulls “to defend the brain from the tropical climate in which he lived. If God had not given them thick skulls their brains would probably have become very much like those of many scientific gentlemen of the present day”
I genuinely like how all of those examples are killer quotes but also represent something that may be considered unkind or overly religious or oddly phrased or straight up untrue today. Excellent job picking them out @sourjen .
Completely agree! Seeing 21st century attitudes and words come out of the mouths of pre-21st-century characters will ruin a piece of media for me.
Example: Oh, this female character doesn't wear a corset, because she's so liberated! Okay, then what is she wearing instead? Not a bra, they don't exist yet.
