Kate Chopin is an experienced short story writer from the beginning of the 1900s, who was ahead of her time due to her amazing ability to take such complex characters that are easy to identify with and create amazing short stories in such a small amount of space.

In both films, white people are assumed to be capitalist and concerned with a person’s external image. However, this implication is either seen as positive or negative depending on how a filmmaker interprets history. After all, those who hold power and privilege are the ones who write the history books, and even today most humans’ views towards colonialism remain largely shaped by fiction.
