Antoinette movie

[montagnarde1793]

This movie is really going to suck. Muchly.

Apparently the People are reduced to the stereotypical "angry mob" so if the average viewer does not like barbie-pink!Antoinette, they'll have little choice in sympathies, because she and the rest of the Court will be the only human characters.

It's a lot easier for most people to sympathize with one person, even if she is the most annoying bimbo they have ever seen, than a "mob" with a good reason to be angry!

That said, from what I can tell, Liberation is treating this with irony, and seems to be pointing out that the subject matter is somewhat....irrelevant: big surprise there!
...at any rate, it's not a positive review, and I like the publication overall, so...

Besides, I've not found you particularly obnoxious...

[josiana.livejournal.com]

....I'm astounded. O.O

[estellacat.livejournal.com]

How's that? There are plenty of more obnoxious people, I assure you.

[josiana.livejournal.com]

Er. I dunno. I just thought the combination of random smilie faces, pitiful-ness, and the general inability to take anything seriously might've come across as being slightly annoying.

[estellacat.livejournal.com]

Perhaps, perhaps. But certain types of obnoxiousness can be overlooked (by most people, at least). Look at Camille.

[josiana.livejournal.com]

He had redeeming features, though.

[estellacat.livejournal.com]

As do you...

[josiana.livejournal.com]

Not really.

[estellacat.livejournal.com]

Oh come now...
What redeeming features does Camille have, exactly?

[josiana.livejournal.com]

Well, he was pretty, and he could write well, and then there's that whole inspiring people to riot thing.

[estellacat.livejournal.com]

*grins* I'm sure you could do either if you tried;)

[josiana.livejournal.com]

My writing is actually kind of boring. ^^;
I could try making people riot at some point.

[estellacat.livejournal.com]

That would be entertaining. If it was for the good of the Republic!

[josiana.livejournal.com]

More like painful and humiliating. Yeah. The Republic... >.>

[estellacat.livejournal.com]

Not that bad, surely! Oh, right, the, um....non-existant Republic.

[josiana.livejournal.com]

I'll probably faint. ...Yes. Er. Well, one day it will exist, right?

[estellacat.livejournal.com]

Well, that would be fairly Camilish of you, actually... With luck!

[josiana.livejournal.com]

Am I supposed to aspire to Camilleishness? Yes. It may take a while, though.

[estellacat.livejournal.com]

Well, if he has so many redeemable qualities that you lack... ;) Sadly.

[josiana.livejournal.com]

...That's logical. Well, eventually people have got to tire of being oppressed, right?

[estellacat.livejournal.com]

Logic is very useful sometimes;) We can hope...

[josiana.livejournal.com]

So it seems. *pout* Er. Well, if they can be educated somehow.

[estellacat.livejournal.com]

Aw, it's okay....we've already got a Camillish anyway;) The only problem is, how?

[josiana.livejournal.com]

Oh, yay! Who is it? :D Er. With excessive force?

[estellacat.livejournal.com]

DM....don't bring it up though; she hates the thought of being Camillish. Sounds like a plan...
