Did you see the revival of The Unsinkable Molly Brown a few years ago? She was so perfectly woke that the second act was unendurable. They took her flirtation with the European man and made Molly's husband the character with the flirtation. Justifiably, female reviewer at the NYT said, "Where's the moral ambiguity?" Another person said, "Do we really need to be patronized this way? Aren't we grownups?"
Maybe Jackman wanted the character cleaned up so Ivanka wouldn't be reminded of anyone she knows. |
