I’m a bit torn about seeing the film. The commercials tell me the director has done what modern day directors do with period pieces today—overlay them with [way too much] contemporary sensibility. I would find any suggestion of rap/hip-hop music to be too much of a violation of my expectations. I also noticed the risque dancing that goes well beyond (what I imagine) the flapper-age dancers’ moves to be. Too much “in your face” sexuality for that era.

I guess it’s me. I have my interpretation developed from my personal reading and when a movie comes along and defies that, I regret the film experience (Brannagh’s Frankenstein, is a good example, though probably EVERYBODY regretted that movie experience!)
