Another fake docu-drama!

§ In a recent interview with BigFanBoy, Christie Marston spoke quite a bit about the film, and argued that it does not depict real life events. Marston claims that the film's director, Angela Robinson, chose to completely fabricate elements of the story, and did not choose to reach out to the family before writing the script.

reply

Its pathetic that the director would do that.

reply

Wait a second, you are telling me that the director did not reach out to the deceased family or their indoctrinated descendants who are fearful of the shame it would bring upon the family, just as Mr. Marston suspected that their relationship would be a source of shame for their kids thanks to society's indoctrination? My god, what an outrage!

reply

Everybody! Raise your hand if you know all the details of your grandfather's sex life!

Per the granddaughter:
"Robinson's basis for turning my grandmother and Dots into lovers may be that they continued to live together after William's death. The reality of the matter was that there really were not a lot of options at that immediate point in time. There were kids to feed and bills to pay. Gram worked while Dots directed the four kids. After the kids were out of the house, the two women chose to share a household. They were best friends, so close as to be sisters.

For those assuming that a grandchild could or would not know anything about their grandmother’s sex life, I should explain that my knowledge of my grandmother is not as a child, but as an adult. Mine is not the viewpoint of a small child with a sweet old lady grandmother. We had a very close relationship. Gram’s three- or four-week visits several times a year gave us plenty of time to discuss all the woes of mankind. Silly societal taboos on sex and sexual preferences was a topic we covered thoroughly. Gram was very open-minded, and conversed clearly and freely. Gram was a firm believer that people should do whatever they damned well pleased; the only stipulation being maturity and consent. Gram and Dots not only lacked that connectivity which couples have, but would have had no reason to hide.

As to arguments that the relationship as imagined by Robinson's film could possibly be true: I do agree that nobody can ever say what somebody else lived. I can never swear that she and Olive never connected sexually, but I can say with 99.99 percent certainty that they did not. "

I think it's funny how everyone is calling this a docu-drama. It's a story told about three people who are now dead. Is Alexander a docu-drama? Is Braveheart a docu-drama? Schindler's list? Anyone who could tell you anything is now dead.

The movie was made because it's about a polyamorous relationship in the 30s and 40s. That's interesting! It's a movie based off of this premise, and the very real discrimination that they faced. I'm glad that the writer/director made this film. It was fascinating.

But not once did I think that it was anything but fiction. Things were made up, invented, and much of the story is probably completely untrue. It was still a great movie.

How can it be a very real discrimination when one of the biggest aspects of that relationship -- the lesbian angle -- was entirely fabricated?

Unfortunately because of the way the movie was marketed and how much of the audience viewed it, they DO think that the elements the granddaughter contested are true. Plenty of users have been commenting in their reviews how great a story it is about facing discrimination and challenging social norms with the whole polyamory that involves lesbianism.

This is yet another story that Hollyweird has taken and perverted, along with Mary Anning and Emily Dickinson, turning them into full blown lesbians when that wasn't the case. Now there's an entire generation of brain dead Liberals arguing that these historical figures MUST have been lesbians because some crazy psychopaths in Hollyweird have said so.
