in yet another bout of insomnia, i put on the matrix (via amazon prime) as background noise as i muddle about the house.
I saw this movie in theatres, it was directed by the wachowski brothers, laurence and andrew, yet referred to collectively as the "wachowski brothers".
having ended, the title card came up displaying the directors as lana & lilly wachowski.
now, i'm all for progressive treatment of those with different beliefs and wants. expecting / demanding others to leave me alone to do what i prefer is kind of a driving force within myself, so i'm all for it...
now here's the but
lana & lilly didn't direct it, did they? wasn't it the "brothers"? why rewrite history along a clearly visible timeline? one transitioned in 2012, the other a few years later, more than a decade after work on that project.
attribution man, what does it mean?
anyway, there's my sign I'm getting old for the day.
- I dunno. They changed their names, and updated their film to reflect the change. Fair game, in my opinion. I wouldn't call this changing history. Same people.monospaced
- I hear you, but they might very well have to adjust credits to their legal identity for copyright reasonsspl33nidoru
- do they go by the "wachowski sisters" now?monospaced
- Remember when Caitlyn Jenner won the Men's Decathalon?i_monk
- But I'd guess this has more to do with DGA rules than copyright.i_monk
