Sigh. I wonder what his opinion is of Austen not even mentioning the Napoleon wars..

The original version of the story featured a character who was a slave. Coppola removed that character, hence the criticism.
-
Isn't it even more outrageous that there was never a gay character in the story? (Hint: no, it isn't)
-
A Civil War story set in Virginia that basically ignores slavery makes you wonder why you make this a Civil War story set in Virginia.

What you wonder is why she did not make the movie you wanted her to make, rather.

No matter how vigorously you wave it away, this article's critique of Coppola's film is valid, IMO. Whitewashing history is not mere snark.
-
My critique of the article that it does not critique the fact that there are no gay characters is just as valid.

Compose a review with this opinion and see if any publication shares your view. Good luck.

She made a film about white women in the civil war, not the civil war itself. The critic answers his own question.

Not seen the film - but maybe the whole point is their obliviousness. Have things really changed? How many live inside Fox News bubble?

I'm just still happy she used My Bloody Valentine in Lost in Translation. So there's that.

This was a film that did not need remaking. The original said it all.
