I must admit, they really started making films where some prominent historical figures are frankly portrayed in a negative light. There's even one about Zhukov, about his love affairs. And even about Shakespeare. I don't understand how this is possible. Even if something like that happened somewhere, we don't know them for that, but for their good deeds, right? Why would anyone need to know such nonsense? So they can show off their knowledge in some company and say that Shakespeare was a womanizer? And list all the women he loved, real and fictional, in a "biographical" film, without knowing a single excerpt from his works in English? It's a very dubious kind of erudition.
No, it's just that everything is subject to current tastes. And they are extremely unpretentious now. The public demands entertainment – as many sensational facts as possible (like scandals, intrigues, investigations) and preferably spiced up with something appealing. And reciting Shakespeare's sonnets in English... who would be interested in that now?
