We watched Enola Holmes 2! And, in a rare surprise, we don't really agree on our opinion of the movie! Tune in to find out why Amanda loved this film and why Moni thought it could've been a LOT better.
Show Notes
We watched Enola Holmes 2! And, in a rare surprise, we don't really agree on our opinion of the movie!
Moni's biggest issue (and it's a good one!) is that the film portrays historical events in a not so accurate way. This brings up a discussion on the line between historical accuracy and creative storytelling - how much can you change history to suit a story?
Here's what else we talked about:
- where is the line between historical accuracy and creative fiction
- the true story of the 1888 match girl strike
- humanising Sherlock Holmes
- Being your own person
- the importance of community and not doing it alone
- creating opportunities
- police corruption (#ACAB)
- diversity in role casting
- women preparing to save women
- moariarty reimagined
EnolaFuckinHolmes!
