That movie marked a turning point for me. I expected to be able to at least tolerate it as a big budget popcorn movie, but the affectation of jerky camera movement to give the impression of super fast frantic action, made it unwatchable. First time I found a mainstream popcorn flick unwatchable. These days I'd find them unwatchable because a non-binary of color would be cast as the lead, but that's a different story.

When she was born, Ulysses S Grant was president. Mary Todd Lincoln was still in her 50s.
When she died, Clinton was in his second term.
That’s amazing.

FWIW the Adams’ grandchildren lived about when you’d have expected them to.
Henry Adams, the historian famous for The Education of Henry Adams was the younger President Adams’ grandson and died in the 1920s or teens I think. He was publishing in the 1870s
