Movie Criticism

[edit]

One problem in describing the socio economics of slave societies is the treatment of race as a binary. The persons in it are treated as being entirely White or entirely Black. Anna Elizabeth Hagaard was three quarters White. However in the movie she is portrayed by an actress who apperas three quarters Black. Her family included closely related White members were planters, merchants, military and civil servants. While her mother and grandmother were cooks and seamstresses the fathers were part of the power structure. The film makers who made Peter von Scholten and "Anne Rice's Feast of All Saints" missed the convoluted society by having near Whites characters portrayed by actors who while Black were clearly not what historians or novelists described. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.240.206.194 (talk) 21:48, 13 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Inconsistent infobox timeline

[edit]

The infobox states different times for his role as governor than the Career section of the article . Someone with knowledge and good sources need to revise this to make it correct (and thus concise) . Unsourced consistency would probably be factually wrong, thus useless . 2A01:4F0:4018:F0:283F:1E12:15EF:A0CE (talk) 22:08, 21 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
