Black people weren't unheard of in 18th century France. Ghavrel Send a noteboard - 05/04/2017 08:30:11 AM

I haven't seen the film, though--your review largely serves to confirm my suspicious--so perhaps your contention is simply that they are vastly disproportionately represented?

In any event, yes, the whole thing just seems so venal. And given that it's Disney, that's saying something.

They didn't tend to be about a third of a noble court, or pastors of remote towns *NM* - 10/04/2017 02:33:14 AM 429 Views

Luke Evans was surprisingly decent as Gaston, - 17/04/2017 02:14:41 PM 797 Views
