Antoinette movie
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...

I have yet to see a good Hérault-Séchelles in a movie. I couldn't find him in "Danton" and LRF's version was embarassing. He looked more like Brissot. And Brissot looked like a cross between Collot d'Herbois and someone else. Who wasn't Brissot.
no subject
...I'll look for him.
*cracks up at descriptions*
no subject
*snickers* LRF!Brissot = Collot d'Herbois hybrid
no subject
...He does look it.
no subject
Poor Brissot. He suffered enough without having to look like a Collot hybrid.
no subject
Brissot had some....issues, though.

You mean being a Girondin, for example?

And, hmm, boycott? Vandalize? Wtf. Really. ;P

I know! We must try to get DM to stop being so....moderate.

...you know you want to be.

Besides, I'm perfectly happy back here with Maxime.
no subject
Who says Maxime is as moderate as you are?
no subject
No one. But I doubt he'd go for a frontal assault.
no subject
Ah,
CamillishDM, that was a joke! ...We have to do something more creative than a boycott, though! (Besides, what would seven people boycotting a movie do?)no subject
Well, I'm sure there are other people who feel as strongly as we do...
no subject
I doubt you could find anyone interested in the topic at all who would volunteer not to see the movie at least once for our boycott. So as I said, it would be seven people against the movie industry. Somehow, I doubt they'd be hurt.
no subject
You're awfully pessimistic. I'm quite sure there are other people willing to boycott the movie. In fact, if it's a bad movie in general, people will boycott it naturally. I think there are more people with good taste in movies than there are rabid Kirsten Dunst fans.
