Continuing Capra’s Wonderful Life cuts, When Democrats Rule

I love history and greatly enjoy historical drama. But I’m very disappointed with modern historical drama, drama which is allegedly researched, but which disappointingly does not reflect the virtues of diligent research. A great writer, and father of such drama was Robert Graves whose fictional diary of Claudius provided great insight into events surrounding the time of Emperor Claudius of Rome. By way of contrast, White Queen series, written by Philippa Gregory, contains characters whose names are from the times, and whose actions are commensurate with actions taken from the times, but whose motivations are fictional story telling and highly misleading. In Gregory’s fiction, supernatural forces are effective. Characters have a depraved indifference to others and their suffering. Some are brave, some are cowardly, but they are consistently so, and there is no learning for the wise, but fools are brilliant at acting on self interest.
While Gregory has been criticised for her appalling revision of Ann Boleyn’s character, consistent with character assassination, she shows no improvement in her series exploring characters during the War of the Roses latter stages. They have the names, but they are not the people. And that is very disappointing. But the mischaracterisation is in line with modern left wing sensibilities. Strong women are feminists. Good men are foolish. Bad men are powerful. There is no diversity of culture, which we know existed.
It is like when Democrats rule in USA. A Wonderful Life, from 1946 illustrates that. We see how they plan and coerce and make it very hard for good people to simply live.
