Marie Antoinette Thoughts

 Marie Antoinette is a 2006 film directed by Sofia Coppola, which focuses on the life of Marie Antoinette as she becomes the queen of France. The movie ends with the people of France rioting and storming Versailles asking for the Queen as it seems to mark the beginning of the French Revolution. During this scene, it is foreshadowed that she will get her head chop off as she bows off the balcony. 

The film does not exactly keep of with historical standards, but provides some modernity with many aspects of the. I think that Coppola does this to make the movie more entertaining and watchable because without it, it would seem like strictly a history movie. I felt that this made the interesting and was one of the main reasons I would even watch it, however, I probably wouldn't watch it again due to most of it being boring. One thing that I enjoyed after watching was the use of vibrant colors, I felt like it made the film a lot more visually appealing. My favorite scene in the film is when she went to the masked party. I thought that this helped make the movie more enjoyable because the audience got to she something unique and interesting about her life. Overall, I think that the film lacked a good storyline, so I wouldn't go back to watch it again.
