Movie Reviews of Marie Antoinette: A Film by David Grubin
Movie Review: Excellent documentary but tragic story
Summary: 5 Stars
I first saw this on TV and was completely engaged. I just got this DVD today and very happy to own it. Marie Antoinette's early life was completely in a bubble. Yes she reminds us of celebrities like Paris Hilton but did she deserve to die?!! Of course, not!. She was completely ignorant of anything outside of her royal confines. In fairness to her, I think the partial cause of this tragedy was Louis XVI, who was an inept person let alone a King! If he was half as much of what a King should be, he would've dealt with much of the country's financial issues rather than Marie herself. He also could've made her change her frivolous ways and become more responsible to her subjects. It was just a mess. People blame her solely but half of it if not much of it was not her fault. She was in a wrong time with the wrong man. Granted she was a horrible queen but part of the reason which led to her execution was due to those pamphlet lies! I agree with the Englishman historian that if only she and the king could agree on a constitutional monarchy, which would have saved the royal family and prevented an uprising. It's just too bad. Very tragic indeed! I will go to Petit Trianon to see it. Been to Versaille but not her Petit Trianon. Vive la Marie!
Summary of Marie Antoinette: A Film by David Grubin
This is the story of a callous monarch, swept to her death in the torrent of the French Revolution. It is also the tale of a fragile young woman struggling to find herself during one of the most turbulent moments in human history. Filmed in France and Austria, with rare access to Versailles, Le Petit Trianon, and the Austro-Hungarian palaces of her youth, Marie Antoinette will tell the intensely human story of the often misunderstood monarch who was beheaded during the turbulence and horror of the French revolution.Documentary DVD Video
