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...

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?

[josiana.livejournal.com]

But why bother to deny the truth? ;_;

[estellacat.livejournal.com]

Now, now....the truth is never an absolute!

[josiana.livejournal.com]

I suppose you're right, but....*sniffle*

[estellacat.livejournal.com]

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;)
