And then there's all the dramatic productions of written works where positive uses of guns are somehow dropped on the floor. Schindler's List I remember reading about, he armed "his" Jews before they left, and as I recall, being armed made a big difference in their subsequent survival.
This sort of thing was dropped from the dramatization of a novel by a totally PC woman black? author, I could probably find a reference if anyone is interested.
At minimum this is part of a wide spectrum culture war which these gun-grabbing politicians are on one side of, at worst, well, we gun owners know our 20th Century history (see above).

- hga 11y agoIt's relevant in the context of the people who dramatized her work. In theory, coming from someone like her, they should have shown it the respect it was due. But the Hollywood narrative that also erased the good uses of guns from Schindler's List had to be maintained at all costs.
- objclxt 11y agoThe original book, Schindler's Ark, was written by a man (Thomas Keneally), as was the screenplay (Steven Zaillian). Putting that aside, you seem to be under the impression that there's some kind of Hollywood conspiracy, when in fact when you're adapting a novel you usually leave out a bunch of stuff. You stick with what's important. Despite what you might think, Schindler's List is not meant to be read as a story where the gun is the hero. You would be rather missing the point of it to take that view.
