Marie Antoinette
Let me start of with congratulating the movie for its Oscar. Bravo, you made excellent costumes. I'd hope so, you’re a period piece. Now why wasn't it looked for other Oscars? Well mainly because it sucked. And when I mean sucked....
IRRELEVENT PAUSE
It failed in many angles. Not do to the cinematography, set design, or makeup, ect.... it had no plot...yes it's a biography, but besides the fact that in a 3 second sequence we find out a child of hers died....there was nothing shown. Just extravagance and overspending. If I’d want that I'd just find a rerun of sex and the city at least that had sex in it that wasn't forced.
IRRELEVENT PAUSE
We are supposed to accept the idea that teenagers have behaved the same in all eras? (Hardly true. Royals took on adult responsibilities as teens back then and were trained and educated differently.) Should we have special sympathy for this vacuous creature that stood by her equally clueless husband en route to disaster? The movie's not particularly kind to either: She comes off as a gluttonous airhead, he a pussy in bed.
IRRELEVENT PAUSE
The ultimate irony of the project is that Marie and Louis' main crime was self-indulgence: They had too little awareness of the discrepancy between themselves and their people, and they paid for ignorance with their lives. Yet when they are arrested the only thing your feeling is thank god the movie has to be ending soon.
IRRELEVENT PAUSE
On and you may be wondering about those IRRELEVENT PAUSES, well those are riddled throughout the movie. Hey look we're in a carriage, lets spend 10 mins of the movie with no dialog...just showing us in a carriage....still us in a carriage...and still moving....ok plot moves on.....and now we're showing Marie walking....and she's walking....and she's still walking....oh my god...slits wrists.
Final Thoughts: 2/10
No need to describe the 2/10, it’s only there cuz the film has good eye-candy. That’s it.
