Too anachronistic and forwards too much


She always dressed differently but even she wasn't so far ahead, I mean that they put her in a 20's or 30's style while everyone else was still in the 1990's. I guess it was to maximize the effect but it kinda bothered me. And of course showcasing her historic 1954 show with a young Tatou, that was pushing it, she was 71 by then.

Interesting output but 1990's?

Otherwise i think you picked up stuff that the average moviegoer such as me didn't even notice, i'm not a fashion buff. That being said, you're absolutely right in terms of attention to detail, historical accuracy and overall credibility, it is indeed important to get those aspects right even if the average Joe has no clue.

What you say about her 1954 show and her being 71 is also interesting, again i had no idea. They pushed the envelope on this one.


People who don't like their beliefs being laughed at shouldn't have such funny beliefsī²

Sorry, I meant the 1890's, they have her in 20's and 30's attire in scenes that happened in the 1890's and 1900's, and yes the ending scene takes place when she's actually 71.
