Talk:Ever After

message: The term Gypsy is a racial slur against the Romani people. Even if used in the film, it should be replaced in context here.

thread_title: Racial Slurs should be replaced

message: The following section was removed from the article, as it contains synthesized information. In order for any of the information below to return to the article, it must be cited in context of the film - ie, a reviewer or scholar reviewing the film's historical inaccuracies. Otherwise, it is us connecting and noting the anachronisms, and we as editors are not citable:
::Anachronisms	
::* Sir Thomas More's book Utopia was published in England in 1513 and given to Danielle in France when she was a child (apparently at about age eight). The book was actually published in Italy in 1516.	
::* Leonardo da Vinci appears in the movie a decade later, when Danielle is 18, though he died in France in 1519.	
::* The French colonization of the Americas began subsequent to 1524.	
::* The Baroness proclaims Danielle has run off to marry a Belgian, though Belgium didn't come into being under that name until after the 1830 Belgian Revolution.	
::* Prince Henry II of France was born in 1519, the same year that da Vinci died.	
::* Henry II of France's wife, Catherine de' Medici, was not French, but Italian. She also had an arranged marriage to him (arranged by her uncle, Pope Clement VII) and they married when she was 14 years old.
::* Henry plays tennis with a racquet. In the 16th century, the game that later evolved into modern tennis was still played with a glove, in a manner more akin to modern handball.
::* In the marketplace scene, Henry presents Marguerite with chocolate candies. At the time, chocolate was consumed only as a beverage. Solid chocolate was not developed until the 19th century.	
::* When Leonardo da Vinci recovers the Mona Lisa from the Gypsies, he pulls it out of its protective tube and unrolls it. This would not have been possible as the Mona Lisa is painted on a poplar wood panel, not a canvas.	
::* The baroness is said to be in debt from taxes but members of the French nobility were not taxed until after the French Revolution in the late 1700s.	
::*Once the baroness married Danielle's father she would have ceased to be a baroness, unless he was a baron, since a wife always takes the husband's rank, except in the case of a ruling Queen. If Danielle's father were nobility then Rodmilla could not have turned Danielle into a peasant, although she could have treated her like one. Noble birthright can only be removed by royal decree. The movie is unclear as to whether Danielle's parents were nobility or merely landed gentry.
::* Presuming Danielle and Henry were married in 1524, that the Grande Dame read the first publication of the Brothers Grimm's fairy tales when it came out in 1812, and if she were indeed Danielle's great great granddaughter and at the age of 70 (Moreau's age) when the meeting took place, there were 218 years between the wedding and the Grande Dame's birth, spread out over five generations. This works out to an average parental age for each generation of 43.6 years, during a span of time when average life expectancy was somewhat lower.

thread_title:  Removed section: anachronisms 

message: It was so beautifully written I hated to shorten it, but if I didn't do it someone else was going to eventually. I made huge changes but kept some of the beautiful phrases. Then I added a phrase early on about books and progressive ideas because that is the foundation of what makes this a "post-feminist" interpretation of the fairy tale. It is still probably over 700 words but I'm too pooped to count 'em. But it's a lot closer. Beadmatrix (talk) 18:34, 27 February 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I am glad that you shortened the plot summary. It is well-written and contains a lot of great information about the film. Last week, I shortened the summary a tad for conciseness. I will also add in a few more suggestions so that the plot summary is thorough, concise and not too detailed while still including imperative information. Vheffran (talk) 19:36, 1 March 2017 (UTC)
