We could have more movies like Belle and Chevalier if it weren’t for the racism in the film industry and the idiocy of ppl who scream “It’s not historically accurate!” as if they know anything about history.

Best period dramas. Period.

1. Belle (realism, honest to period)

2. Testament of Youth (realism)

3. Jane Eyre (sentimental for me)

4. Atonement

5. Devdas (truly iconic)

Dido Elizabeth Belle and her cousin Elizabeth Murray (1776)

Dido Belle (1761-1806). The illegitimate daughter of a british aristocrat Sir John Lindsay and an enslaved african woman Maria Belle. Her position was ambiguous in her household. I would like to think that she received some love hence this portrait in almost equal position to her cousin. We know she was educated and literate. But it was clear that her everyday life might have been paved with everyday tiny humiliation due to the racist system of her time which will keep remind her that because of her skin tone and her bastard position she was still not totally one of them.
