Controversial take: most of the themes and at least half the characters aged like milk. It was sold to me as “imagine we lost the American revolution” and I even believed that when I saw it in college, but really it’s confederados after the civil war.

Yeah, keep it in the rose tinted memory bank folks. Don’t ruin it for yourself.
