Antoinette movie

[montagnarde1793]

This movie is really going to suck. Muchly.

http://www.liberation.fr/page.php?Article=384772

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...

*sighs* It was a nice thought!

...Draw it.

Oh, no, of course not! Why would anyone do a thing like that?

[josiana.livejournal.com]

Oh well. Maybe one day.

Was that an order, citizen? ^_^

Someone might actually make an accurate movie that way! We can't have that!

[estellacat.livejournal.com]

No, of course not! We're all free and equal here....More of a practical suggestion, if you will.

That is the cuted, most messed up drawing I have ever seen. You win at life.

Definitely not! Can you imagine the public reaction???

[josiana.livejournal.com]

It sounded like an order.

Thank you. *blush* Poor Saint-Just. I'm sure he's spinning in his grave at this point.

There would be rioting in the streets!

[estellacat.livejournal.com]

All right, it was an order--but you're free not to follow it!

I'm quite sure he would be. XD Poor Saint-Just.

That might not be so bad, actually...

[josiana.livejournal.com]

*sniffles* ;____;

Let's hope there's never a zombie apocalypse. Otherwise, we're doomed.

Not the good kind. The vapid kind.

[estellacat.livejournal.com]

There, there--it's like that scene in LRF, when the guard tells the king that what he says doesn't matter anymore;)

What would you say is the likelihood of this zombie apocalypse happening, say, within the next fifteen years?

There's a vapid kind of street-riot?

[josiana.livejournal.com]

Butbutbut...*sniffle*

I don't think it will. But, just in case...

Well, the kind they have over football games...

[estellacat.livejournal.com]

Oh quit acting so injured; I just compared myself to Carpet Capet! (My spell-checker seems to think his name ought to be Carpet.)

Well, that will give us plenty of time to start a Revolution, die in it, and no longer have to worry about be harmed by a zombie apocalypse; after all, if we're dead they can't hurt us.

*shudders* On second thought, maybe it's not a good thing.

[josiana.livejournal.com]

But acting injured is one of my only talents! ;___; Well, that and being tiresome. (*giggles* It would be interesting at least.)

But how can we guarantee we'll be dead by then? Besides, wouldn't we see them in the after-life?

Yes. This is why we must strive to make our film as inaccurate as possible.

[estellacat.livejournal.com]

Aww, poor thing! (Certainly--Along with Grease and Cheerios of Lactose.)

But they can't hurt us. That's the beauty of it; they can want to hurt us all they want, but they can't, because we'll be dead!

[josiana.livejournal.com]

I know. It's such a tragedy. Or something. (....*dies* XD)

Oh, good! But, how are we all going to die by then?

[estellacat.livejournal.com]

Or something. *grins* (...Who are, of course, Greuze and Choderlos de Laclos.)

We're going to start a Revolution, of course! ...You don't honestly expect to survive that, do you?

[josiana.livejournal.com]

Not really, but we all seem to get along disturbingly well, so we'd have to rely on getting assassinated in large groups, or dying in battles or getting overthrown.

[estellacat.livejournal.com]

It's the getting overthrown. It always happens.

[josiana.livejournal.com]

I suppose you're right. I wonder who it will be...

[estellacat.livejournal.com]

How do you mean? There are lots of people who would find it in their personal interests to overthrow us...

[josiana.livejournal.com]

It was more just a random sort of question. I'll probably be dead by then anyway, so I don't have to worry. ^_^

[estellacat.livejournal.com]

Wait, why's that?

[josiana.livejournal.com]

Because I'm really obnoxious.

[estellacat.livejournal.com]

But that doesn't usually kill people...

[josiana.livejournal.com]

Sometimes it does. ^_^

[estellacat.livejournal.com]

You mean you think you'll be in one of the factions that goes down before the end?

[josiana.livejournal.com]

It's very likely.

[estellacat.livejournal.com]

Don't say that! Don't you want to die with the rest of us?
