[QUOTE="Crimson, post: 335298, member: 5079"] I'm quite fond of the movie, but this does not look good. I really don't get the point of these revisionist fantasy takes on the past. An all white cast might not fly in 2022, but the AAGPBL [I]was[/I] all white. I'm sure it sucks for minorities to see works of entertainment set in the past where they were excluded, but they were. What's gained by making the past more palatable than it was, other than creating a false perception that it wasn't as bad as people make it out to be? And even in a fantasy alternate reality, we're to believe that a black woman broke into professional baseball before Jackie Robinson? This seems pretty dismissive of his actual accomplishments. Hard pass. [/QUOTE]
