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...

In some ways she is....we came up with a whole list of characteristics that matched, but I forget what we said...

I'll take your word for it, then. XD

Again, though, don't bring it up; it's something of a touchy spot with her.

[josiana.livejournal.com]

I won't, don't worry. ^_^

Good....just, good.

I wouldn't want to needlessly antagonize anyone. Why does she object to the Camilleness, anyway?

[estellacat.livejournal.com]

...Probably because it was tied up in accusations of moderantism.

[josiana.livejournal.com]

Oh...but can't occasionl moderation be a good thing?

[estellacat.livejournal.com]

It depends on the context, really...

I suppose...
