“I enjoyed this discussion of the evolving, (slowly) portrayal of Mary. One question the presenters considered was why is this change occurring now. It may be for several reasons having to do with popular perceptions. Audiences may be getting tired of Elizabeth. We have seen a rise in films about forgotten, marginalized or wrongly depicted persons. Mary fits that. Also, the Me Too movement might explain some of the emerging change about Mary. I hope we can look forward to a great screen portrayal of Mary, based on good research, screenwriting, directing and acting. This podcast shows that Mary more than deserves a revision of long held views of her.”
