Marie Antoinette (2006)

Marie Antoinette (2006) is a historical film based on the life of Marie Antoinette who is the wife of Louis XVI and Queen of France before France Revolution in 1792. Marie used be the princess of Austria, who was charming and active. When she was 14, she married the dauphin of France in order to improve the political relationship between Austria and France. The scene that young Marie got off her Austrian gharry and change to the French gharry was so impressed me. When Marie got off Austrian gharry, some French maids took off all of her clothes and dressed her in French clothes. She was told that she couldn’t bring any belongs of Austria with her, even including her dog. This 14-year little girl was so helpless and cried badly. It is hard to imagine

that a 14-year little girl leaved her mother and her country and went to a totally unacquainted country to marrying a man whom she never met before. Mary’s married life also seemed not very happy, because her husband was a dull man and paid none of his attention for her. Lining in palace of Versailles, Mary just liked a beautiful canary in a huge cage. The lonely and empty young Mary only could have some fun by dressing on luxury clothes and accessories and joining in different parties. She didn’t know about anything about the life that her citizen’s hardship outside her palace, so she spent a huge number of money to buy the clothes, jewels and gambling. She even had an affair with a handsome man Fersen who was nobility. In the true history, Mary was executed by guillotine when after the France Revolution began. However, this movie didn’t depict about this part of her life, because the director just want to build a beautiful atmosphere in whole sotry.

If you are interested in fashion and history, this film is definitely a good choice for you. In this film, you can see numerous beautiful ladies dressed in Rococo style, they will satisfy your visual enjoyment. I will like to give this film 4 stars.
