The 1900s-1910s had 1860s nostalgia HARD. The 1920s were all-in for 1880s-1900s nostalgia. Legal booze! Nobody had ever heard of a World War! After WWII, nostalgia for 1900-1913...

It's worth noting that I appealed and won removal of Bluesky "adult content" labels from each of the GIFs in the thread I quoted. However, Bluesky forgets the appeal every time the material is posted, so I would have to appeal each and every time I post.
The film is clunky, melodramatic, overacted and quite sloppy in places in an apples to apples comparison with other features and epics of the period. The problem is that very very few people watch 1912-1915 features and epics. Or BOAN itself, in many cases. It's a Blue Stone of Galveston situation.

THE WIZARD OF OZ (1939) was the third cinematic reboot of Oz. The Selig company brought it to the screen in 1910 (after L Frank Baum lost his shirt on a multimedia presentation that included some filmed sequences), Baum relaunched in the mid-1910s, Larry Semon did his worst in the 1920s.

The impacts of sexual assault affect large swaths of a person's life that doesn't end in a few hours. It doesn't mean that you're never going to succeed in life. It does mean that it is a new normal that you will have to find.
As a Jewish American, I’ve been targeted and experienced hate simply because of my faith. Now – more than ever – we need to take a stand to protect all religious communities from hate and violence.
