Hah.
Some of those dresses were quite awful. The way they just kinda made you look like you had a box around your waist. But I guess it was the style or whatever.
The shoes. Now I would've liked some of the shoes! Hehe.
I really enjoyed this film.
There a lot of mixed feelings towards it and it seems to be a case of you love it or hate it.
But in my view, it's simply a different way of interpreting a iconic person from history. Its by no means the best film, you never *really* get close to the characters as they aren't particularly developed and you never see much of character growth so you don't really move on with the film but the visual effects and the way the lack of dialogue is placed makes it very interesting. It was... Relaxing in a way.
Kirsten and all the cast do a really great job I think.
She did speak French! Bless her. The kids were adorably cute! :sigh:
I thought there was a pretty cool balance between the English and the French, every now and then someone threw in 'merci' or something of the like.
I feel that the idea of the film was to view it from Marie's point of view and it's very likely she would have been shielded from what was said outside the palace walls and if not then she would've simply ignored it. There is a reference to 'Let them eat cake' when she is discussing all the rumours that are going on and she is told to do something about it but she says that she won't and will just leave it.
It's entirely possible that that is actually what she did.
Did ayone else notice the blue converse in one of the many tantilising shoes/cakes clips?
