   I hate it when movies try to make characters "more relatable" to the   
   audience.  When a film depicts a world or an era different from mine,   
   then I want the characters to be true to that time and place, and to   
   force *us* to adapt *ourselves* to their way of thinking in order to   
   understand and relate to *them*.
