I saw Mary, Queen of Scots on DVD last night. What a load of politically correct drivel it was. They portrayed the courts of Elizabeth I and Mary as having blacks, asians, and a couple of puerto ricans. There was a flaming homosexual guy that was basically another lady in waiting and of course he was murdered for being a poofer by the hateful white men. When Mary rode through the Scottish countryside about a quarter of the scottish peasants were black. It really ruined the movie because you just couldn’t take the idea seriously that it was the mid 1500’s in England and Scotland when historical figures were portrayed by people of other races. Imagine a biography of JFK where Jackie was asian and Teddy was black. It blows all realism out of the water.
To each his own. I liked it. Now listening to the audio book upon which the movie is based. Even better.
