Some Love for the BBC Adaptation of War and Peace
By Crimson_Saddle3913
Yeah, I get that it’s an adaptation, so it leaves out a bunch—especially a lot of Tolstoy’s sharper jokes about the whole military/hero vibe and his bigger thoughts on how messy and not-so-clear cause and effect can be. Still, wow, it really hit me hard. Seeing these actors and actresses bring out those really sad, meaningful character arcs was honestly so moving. If you haven’t watched it yet, I’d say it’s worth your time.
