Marie Antoinette

This film is a motion picture displaying the life of Marie Antoinette as a young queen. It trails Marie’s life as she matures from a teenage bride to a young woman expressing her nature and her life of fabulousness and outrageousness. She was only 14 years old when she was pledged to marry Louis XVI for an alliance that had nothing to do with love. She then was sent to France, ripping completely from her old life. As time had passed, Marie had found life at Versailles stifling. She was constantly hated for being a foreigner and not having produced a heir to the throne. As Marie gradually begins to adjust to her new life, she began treating her self to lavish pastries and gambling with the other women. Louis continued to invest in foreign conflicts such as the American Revolution sending France further into dept. eventually Marie and Louis have their first child, she gave birth to a daughter, Maria Therese. As France’s financial crisis worsens more riots break out and food shortages become more extensive. Marie Antoinette’s was very hated because of her luxurious lifestyle. She then gave birth to a boy, Louis-Joseph and then her second daughter Sophie, who died shortly after. The film ends with the shot of the queen’s bedroom destroyed by looters. There was much historical accuracy within this film. The setting where the movie was filmed was in the actual palace of Versailles. The costumes of the 18th century period were depicted very well within this film. They showed the latest fashions of the French court. The movie even won an award for the best costume design. Also, Marie had a lack of education and that was shown when she had signed her name on a certificate her signature looked really sloppy compared to Louis’. However there were also some Historical inaccuracies in this film as well. The music played in the movie was noticeably more modernized than that of the time. One of the more slightly less noticeable inaccuracies was the

    The problem of les banlieues (the suburbs) became particularly prominent from the early 1980’s onwards. Violent confrontations between suburban youths and the police took place in a number of the suburbs surrounding France’s major cities like, for example, Sartrouville and La Corneuve near Paris and Valulx en Velin and Venissieux near Lyon.…

    When it comes to film, there are many examples which would be considered, “historically accurate” to the time that the film is portraying. Many films such as Glory, Gettysburg, All Quiet on the Western Front, and Gods and Generals to name a few in my opinion, accurately portray the events and situations in history. When dealing with the french film, Le Retour de Martin Guerre, many aspects of the Movie that I found are historically accurate, while some of the situations portrayed, are unfortunately not.…

    The film does an amazing job reflecting the time period by showing a relatively accurate representation of what would be expected in Renaissance France with the background, appropriate clothing, and simple props throughout the movie. The characters’ acting and behavior also adheres to what would be expected during this time by reflecting their superstitious concerns, susceptibility to bribery and moral concerns by the Catholic French. For example, although Jean de Coras uses logic and reasoning to deduce if Arnaud is imposing as Guerre, he also factors in a suspicion of a demonic possession. Also, towards the end of the film he has a personal heart-to-heart conversation with Bertrande, talking about her actions in the context of religious morals.…

    For example, I found that even though the battle scenes and techniques were accurate, that amount of blood and violence showed was not accurate due to the film being rated PG. There was way more during the real battle. The 20th Maine never was moved to the Union center on the third day. Another inaccuracy was that Pettigrew was shot in the breast in real life, not the finger which the movie shows. Longstreet was not with Lee when Stuart arrived during the second day of fighting. Originally the transfer and “mutiny” of the men took place six weeks before the battle at Gettysburg. Colonel Fremantle in the film was wearing a red uniform and forced to carry a cup of tea, this was put into the movie so that the viewers wouldn’t be confused. He actually in real life would have worn a dark blue uniform. One last inaccuracy found was that there were three Chamberlains at Gettysburg, not just two of them. The third Chamberlain was a…

    The film does contain a very stereotypical, familiar, and accurate representation of a mid 18th-century French village by showing the village women at home doing chores and the men working. The costumes and makeup helped support the setting and time period that the film was placed in by having the characters wear appropriate clothing such as dresses, poet shirts, and tricorns. The only two unique characters in the film were Beauty, an educated bookworm, and the Beast, a rich prince. Finally, there was one exaggerated character which was Gaston, a rich, overly strong and materialistic man in the village who wanted Belle to love him.…

    Queen Christina Analysis

    The movie centers on the love triangle between Antonio, Magnus and Christina. Magnus is portrayed as an antagonist as he plots to shatter Christina’s hopes at fulfilling true love by deliberately arousing the public against the Queen. Christina is tired of being a symbol of duty and abdicates her throne in order to chase after personal freedom. I thought it was interesting that the chancellor, who crowned Christina as a child refuses to uncrown her and she has to do it herself. Argo the servant continues to call her, “Your Majesty” and it is evident Christina never fully strips herself of her queenly status even after running away.…

    A Movie Review Of Amadeus

    • 1165 Words
    • 3 Pages

    The movie Amadeus depicts the life of Mozart from Salieri's tainted perspective. In this paper I will be analyzing three of the most notable scenes I felt while watching the movie. The first notable scene, where mozart complexities are revealed. The second scene in which Salieri begs god for his "breath" and for a sign that he loves him, intended to show is desperation. At last, the third scene I will be analyzing is the last scene of the movie that brings closure to the story. I would recommend this film to others, but I will say it was not the most eventful film or one that is easy to sit through. I do, however, think it successfully portrays the characters and illustrates one depiction of Mozart's life.…
