The thing about all movies is that they don't have to be accurate. Are Tarantino movies accurate? Of course not! But plenty of them are set in the modern day. It's about the feel you want to create, and the audience you're making the film for. When you hear costumers talk about a lot of the costumes they create, they're often quick to point out inaccuracies and the reasons they made them inaccurate. It's usually because they were trying to create a certain mood or emphasize an aspect about a character.

Tighter lacing than normal plus heat could possibly equal light-headedness. It's still pretty far-fetched though.

Wentworth in Persuasion, but it's true. His portrayal veered more into the violent aspects of Rochester's nature than the text portrayed. Brontë's Rochester threatened violence, but admitted quickly afterward that he couldn't act on it because he loved Jane too well. Hinds' Rochester threatened, more than Brontë's did, and didn't withdraw the threat. He really came across as a bully and I just couldn't stomach it. Try reading the scene and then watching it. I've read & re-read & listened to the audiobook version (check out Elizabeth Klett's version on LibriVox) probably 50 times. The Dalton/Clarke version is most true to the text. Perhaps there's an argument to be made for interpretation vs. adaptation, but I do like such movies to resemble the books, *if* I've read the book first. If I watch the movie first, then the discrepancies don't trouble me as much. In fact, I like the movie ending of (Gaskell's) North and South better than the book's. But there are other scenes in the book that I think should've made it into the TV movie version.

I love this video but my only gripe is that Amadeus isn't actually meant to be historically accurate in content or design. This is obvious in the play (in the most recent production only half the cast were period costume and Mozart has bleach blond hair and doc martens) . If you watch videos of reviews of the film the same problem occurs where they criticise the fact it's historically inaccurate. It seems to be a conscious decision on the part of Foreman and Shaffer (the original playwrite) to try and translate the feel of the play where it knows it isn't accurate and it's all a memory of Salieri and you're not meant to trust what you are watching- which contrasts badly with the fact they shot it in beautiful historically accurate sets. I think it's rather a bad translation of the brechtian direction of the original play to film and not consulting Peter Hall (the original director of the play). This isn't hate in any way- I love your videos so much but this is a running theme I've noticed in all forms of youtube critiques of the film.

I am a big fan of this channel since someone mentioned it in the Ultimate Fashion History Facebook group last week. I am not ashamed to say my first costume film obsession was Amadeus when I was about 16, but it drove me to go practically live in my local library looking at costume reference books. I didn't full realize the costumes were WRONG for years, but it did set me on a path to a serious obsession with historical costume. I still have NEVER seen Barry Lyndon even though I know it's famous for its costumes! Secondly, as a speaker of German as my second language and as a former (and future) English trainer, I was going to compliment you on the extreme ease with which you speak English. At the same time, I know the frustration of having a Difficult Language Day. I found that this would happen to me WHILE I was actively using German. It's counterintuitive to be sure. For reference, you might enjoy the Ultimate Fashion History 18th century video, even though you probably know all the content. I love that the UFH and your channel and others are speaking to the validity and importance of KNOWING fashion history. :) kzitem.info/news/bejne/k4Wp04uLq5GanII

Like, I've noticed that in more modern productions taking place in different eras -- like stranger things. i love that show, but the main female lead didn't commit to having 80s hair. Like, you can't just stuff someone in a stripped sweater or neon tights and call it good. It's not the 80s without the weird accessories or the awful hair. And it's the same way when you go much earlier -- like if you don't have weird scarves tied places, you're not doing it right.

I agree with your point about modernizing costumes (that you should still be able to tell what era the story takes place in). The designer for Anna Karenina said in interviews that her goal was to incorporate haute couture from the 1950s and the period silhouettes to bring the audience into the story. Another movie that does this well, IMO, is "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies" (yes, zombies). That film's costume designer took styles from that era of Austen's writing (i.e. that would be easily recognized) and made them functional for what the characters would likely wear in a zombie apocalypse.

There was one ball scene where it looked liked all the extras just brought their own dresses or something. My fashion history knowledge is a far cry from yours, but even I could see there was Victorian, Regency, even some stuff that looked like it was from the 1940s/50s?

How about Franco Zefarelli's 1968 movie "Romeo and Juliet"? I understand that Zefarelli was striving for historical accuracy as much as he was expressing his own aesthetic. I thought the costumes were more well done than other 1960s period movies.

Fancy Dress balls were a thing, for people wealthy enough to spend tons of $ on "historical" costumes. Thankfully, since they spent so much, they often took pictures! And yeah, they titally made interesting combos of medieval dresses on Victorian corsets.

I was struck by the use of language in ‘Cutthroat Island’ & ‘The Libertine’; yes, the former is a dumpster fire in almost every other regard (costumes were not super-bad, though- except for the weird crotch-level placement of rosette bows in the ball scenes??) - I thought the latter was somewhat underrated (I did get a little frustrated over skirt-hiking, & a couple of other things, & it felt like there were a couple of missing scenes- to join the whole thing together). Gena Davis’ accent was all over the shop, but the speaking style was so interesting to me- my favourite speaking scene was her denunciation of Shaw; ‘Since you lie so easily, & since you are so shallow- I will lie you in a shallow grave; I shall maroon you on a rock the size of this table, instead of splattering your brains across my bulkhead- as you deserve’. And, any faults of costuming aside, ‘300-esqe’ slo-mo fight scenes, the gratuitous violence & sex- I liked the speaking style of the Spartacus series, because they adapted the speech style & patterns from Latin, which was pretty cool & unique, IMO- last time I thought of period dramas doing that, was ‘10 Commandments’ (though it might not necessarily have been intentional).

When you mention the wigs in "Amadeus" and say that in the portraits of the time you'd never see a wig that looks like it's not really joined with the forehead properly, there's a reason for that. When an artist painted a portrait back then, he would have taken somebody's wonky wig and made it LOOK like it was joined all perfectly like a lace front even if it wasn't. An artist wouldn't have painted her flaws, they were paid to make them look better than they really looked.

Pride and Prejudice, the BBC series vs. the movie with Keira Knightly. I recently watched the latter for the second time and it struck me again, how very different it is from the series (which I personally prefer). That scene where Lizzie arrives on foot at...whatwasitcalledagain...and had her hair open and unkempt? Really? I'm unsure about the dresses generally though...the ones in the movie seem much more casual and humble....maybe more appropriate for a family struggling financially? Also: The actor who plays Mr. Bingley in the movie looks like one of the Weasley brothers...it's hilarious!

This is TOTALLY, 100%, a personal preference thing but I found the BBC series to be horribly boring and oddly cast. The actress playing Lydia appeared to be the prettiest of the sisters and the more historically accurate face curls made the actress playing Jane look like a man. In this case I appreciated how the movie deviated from historically accurate or adapted a historical style to make it more attractive and less distracting. I just found the acting to be much less charming from all the actors in the BBC series. Lizzie was very... vanilla, nowhere near as interesting as she was in the book. I love the book and I know the BBC series stayed more true to the settings but I found that to be, visually, very boring. In text based media the aesthetic interest of a scene doesn't really matter, you could be in a parlor or out in a field and it doesn't really make much difference but in a visual medium it does so, for instance, the first Darcy proposal in the BBC series wasn't interesting to me whereas the proposal in the movie was very exciting and had my heart racing. Something I thought was pretty cool and I appreciated about the movie was that the mother didn't wear the popular silhouette of the time and was still wearing the older styles she would be more used to, I thought it was a nice touch. Maybe they did that in the BBC series but I honestly don't remember, I saw it once and was so bored I couldn't force myself to watch it again. I don't mean this to be rude or harsh, just a dialogue for discussion. We all have different tastes and different things we are looking for. Heck, sometimes what I am looking for changes or my taste adapts specifically for certain movies. I actually thought I was going to hate the movie just because I tend to (aggressively) dislike Keira Knightly's acting, specifically when she would jut her lower jaw out during scenes where she is trying to be fierce or angry. It agitates the heck out of me, but she only does it in one scene in the movie because, apparently, the director hated it too and made her not do it, haha. Anyway, I need to shut up. Sorry. Have a lovely day!

Just a suggestion, but I think it would be amazing if you could review costumes from opera productions (specifically productions from the 1980s and 1990s, when traditional staging and costumes flourished). The Italian stage and costume designer Franco Zeffirelli was internationally known for his lavish, luxurious and historically accurate sets. He directed Mozart's operas Idomeneo, Le nozze di Figaro, Don Giovanni, Cosi fan tutte and La clemenza di Tito at the Metropolitan Opera in New York during the late 80s and early 90s: they truly are a fantabulous sight.

I saw some "behind the scenes" videos on this movie. They decided to go with 1795 fashion (which was close to the time that Austen actually wrote the novel), or at least their *idea* of that time period. One reason was to emphasize the sophistication and wealth of the Bingleys and Darcy against the Bennetts' more earthy, financially modest, and slightly out of fashion style. Another reason that I suspect is that Keira Knightly did not look good in Directoire, high-waisted styles due to her small bosom. I have a small bosom myself, and high-waisted styles can look pretty bad on me sometimes.
