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...

I like that article. I really do... Hehehe. >;D

Though... rock thermidor?! o.O

No. Just, no.

So I was right, then! It is supposed to be ironic! I thought so...

I am scarred for life. I really don't want to know what they mean by that.

I think we can call that a nice sample of French ironical criticising.

...it just makes no sense, even after re-reading. Rock Thermidor... It sounds like something Maxime would have REALLY failed to know how to sing.

Ah, I love it!

*sporfle* I'm sure not. Not that he knew how to sing anything. XD

Precisely my point.... he's still a rockstar though XD
