April 14, 2008I originally wanted to complain about the ending, too, until I realized what Coppola really meant by making this movie. The truth is that it's not to be watched so much for the history as to see someone from so long ago and shown to be someone we could relate to today. Take a young girl who comes from a fair amount of money, put her in a castle with huge amounts of money and what do you get? Every young girl with lots of money. Don't believe me? Look at the actresses of today. Tell me that Lindsay Lohan or Britney Spears would make a good leader. Coppola shows us through this movie that Marie was acting just as any young girl put into power and money would do. She just wanted to live her life and have a good time. The fact that Coppola chose not to show us her beheading was just because if you're watching it you should know a little about her anyway. We all know how she died and why, so for this film it's not important to show that. It's much more important to show how she lived.

May 30, 2007I love this movie SOOO much! I love how they made Marie Antoinette appear to be like any other teenage girl--just happened to live during a rough time. The cinematography is stunning, the costumes are stunning, the music is WONDERFUL! So many people make out Marie to be some horrible, heartless, Queen. When, in reality, she just lived during harsh times and was really scrutinized for everything she did--or didn't do.
A very fresh and fun movie. Certainly one I will enjoy watching again and again.
And, no, she never said "Let Them Eat Cake." And Sofia knows that. They talk about it on the special features on the DVD. -

May 10, 2007Unless the film is performed exclusively in french by french actors and actresses, the accents point is moot. Having people say "'And mee ze boot" is no more historically accurate than "Hand me the book".
The ecclectic mix of accents (UK, US, Italian, etc) were a very conscious decision by Sofia Coppola to illustrate the cosmopolitan nature of Versailles. The film is a feverish dream, a true original experience. It is not a historical retelling, rather a work of art that uses the historically reviled figure of Marie Antoinette to tell the simple and universal story of a little girl thrust upon an impossible position, struggling to make the best of it, succeeding, and ultimately being crucified for it.
BTW: she doesn't say "Let them eat cake" in the film either. In fact, there's a quick scene where she explicitly states this. It is used as the tag line in a semi-ironic way. -
May 7, 2007The movie was pretty pointless. I just read a review that said that if you didn't like the film you're too interested in the historical side of it. Well excuse me, but I think the former queen of france should get a better representation than that. The accents were crap, the scenes jumped all over the place, and it spent too much time on kirsten trying to get her husband to have sex with her, which was just weird. The only part I thought was decent was the beginning, where she is just making the transition from her home country into france. The ending was uninteresting and there were scences in the movie that had no relevance whatsoever to absolutely anything.

May 2, 2007i love this movie i read a book abou ther called queens confessions it was really good

March 19, 2007Finally!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i saw the Movie!!!!! it is sooooo goood!!!! i loved it. Before i even saW the movie, i decided to read a book about Marie Antoinette. And also look up more stuff about her on the computer. WOW i tell you her life was very nice in a way. See she did not want to become Queen, of France. She mostly enjoyed living the life of a rock star doing what ever she pleased to do. Which was really sad at the end, she just got to caught up on living like a Princess that she forgot to take care of the people!!!

March 18, 2007I loved this movie. It was extremely well-made. I also have learned about Marie Antoinette, which really helps. The movie portrays a woman who eventually is brutally executed but it's still light-hearted and frothy. Plus the set and costumes are absolutely gorgeous. And the soundtrack is totally lovable.

March 4, 2007I'm sure more than one person noticed the blue Chuck Taylors and hopefully they understood that they weren't a "flub" but a device to set the tone of the film.
-
February 25, 2007I adore this movie. I love the music choice and I think the actors were chosen perfectly. This was Kirsten Dunst's first time in a lead role, according to REELZ channel, and I think she did a marvelous job.

February 17, 2007Am I the only person who noticed, that in the scene right after her sister-in-law gave birth, while kirsten is buying shoes, there is a pair of baby blue Chuck Taylors lying on the floor at her feet? I usually don't notice flubs in movies that easily, but it just popped out at me! I even rewound the flick, and paused, and right there, in my face, were these Chucks! Take a look!!

January 31, 2007The idea of a modern soundtrack worries me a bit, but I'm willing to give it a chance.

January 20, 2007She reminded me of any other teenage girl who could have whatever she wanted. I loved the fact it was historically accurate, it wasn't all gossip (i.e. "let them eat cake"), and her story wasn't comprimised. The music and the language/accents made it possible, for me anyway, to relate to it as well as I did. It was cool and interesting and shot entirely well. Well done Sofia Coppola.
