montagnarde1793This 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...

Date: Friday, 2 June 2006 02:12 (UTC)More like painful and humiliating.Yeah. The Republic... >.>(no subject)

Date: Friday, 2 June 2006 04:46 (UTC)So it seems. *pout*Er. Well, if they can be educated somehow.(no subject)
Date: Friday, 2 June 2006 14:57 (UTC)Aw, it's okay....we've already got a Camillish anyway;)The only problem is, how?(no subject)
Date: Friday, 2 June 2006 21:01 (UTC)Oh, yay! Who is it? :DEr. With excessive force?(no subject)
Date: Friday, 2 June 2006 23:01 (UTC)DM....don't bring it up though; she hates the thought of being Camillish.Sounds like a plan...(no subject)
Date: Friday, 2 June 2006 23:06 (UTC)Oh. She doesn't seem very Camilleish, though. o.OYay! :D(no subject)
Date: Friday, 2 June 2006 23:10 (UTC)In some ways she is....we came up with a whole list of characteristics that matched, but I forget what we said...(no subject)

Date: Saturday, 3 June 2006 07:46 (UTC)Good....just, good.(no subject)
Date: Saturday, 3 June 2006 23:48 (UTC)I wouldn't want to needlessly antagonize anyone. Why does she object to the Camilleness, anyway?(no subject)
Date: Sunday, 4 June 2006 01:01 (UTC)...Probably because it was tied up in accusations of moderantism.(no subject)
