Marie Antoinette, the beautiful princess who first saw Versailles at an age when she did not understand the world but thought she could control her destiny.
She could only see versailles with the great cloak of Louis XIV, and the brilliant light and shadow of the gold and silver candlestick, although extinguished, could not cleverly capture the discredit of the people in the hall of mirrors.
Marie Antoinette was too young to enter Versailles, naïve enough to appreciate luxury with the naked eye, ignoring that her heart should also feel the excitement and pulse of that era.
Being young is sometimes a sin! Because she was too young, Queen Mary could not sort out her position in the flashy court life, and there was no way to restrain herself from what she should do to make herself truly happy. All she could rely on were the sumptuous dresses, the elaborate banquets, and the dance music after dance music that she used to briefly forget the stereotypical etiquette of the court.
A beautiful woman who has never really tried love, once she understands that her beauty is a privilege, there is no one who can forbid her to use this power. If she hadn't stepped into Versailles at such a young age, she might have learned to be more reserved and restrained!
From another point of view, however, versailles actually needed young Marie Antoinette!
Imagine if Marie Antoinette had not been fond of vanity and pleasure, and what would have been Versailles, wherever she had been imprisoned? In the long history of France, without the passage of Marie Antoinette, it seems that versailles cannot stand out from the world's various splendors.
The cause of the French Revolution was the financial problems of the royal family, and the financial problems involved too wide a level, we can't say that the queen who spent a lot of money was not at fault, but history likes to use the results to tell stories, so Marie Antoinette naturally became the most focused paragraph of this story.
It is said that Marie Antoinette's personality was naïve and fraternal, so it was very easy to exploit. She lost at this point, but she also won at this point.
Comparing the famous women in the history of the world, especially some famous women who have been more demeaned than praised, Marie Antoinette is not at all a bad word, at best a contemporary pop leader, using the luxury that versailles should have been, packaging her appearance as a royal idol. She mistakenly thought it was her duty, and perhaps she had worked hard to learn in order to be able to fulfill her duties.
In a famous film story about King Henry VIII, "The Other Boyn's Girl", the villain's woman uses all her heart to seize power and profit, which is much more hateful than Marie Antoinette. If Marie Antoinette were such a woman, the story of Versailles would have been different, and what would have been the outcome of Louis XVI and the French dynasty?
In the shot, the Palace of Versailles is made up of stone steps, long halls and towering stone columns, golden door and door candlesticks, rococo style is all in it; the magnificent geometric gardens and fountains and pools of water support this awe-inspiring building.
In the time tunnel of the dance banquet, Queen Mary, as a woman, buried her youth in this mansion, has anyone really loved her? Has anyone ever really cared about her? Even, is there anyone worth her laughter and love?
The most impressive thing about the Palace of Versailles is the huge doors and windows. There was a heavy fireplace in the room, the doors were so heavy, and the panes in the hallway were open. Those spaces are not completely confined. In the real Palace of Versailles, in any room, as long as the heavy doors of the corridor are opened to the outside, it is the garden and the sky! Breathe directly into the scent of freedom outside! But a pair of eyes makes the person in it feel like he is in a cage.
Queen Mary, far from her native Austria, abandoning her native language to speak elegant French characters, must have once looked at the blue sky outside the porch, and then was blocked by the thick door panels. The Palace of Versailles is one of the most extravagant cages, and Marie Antoinette is the man of history.
The film presents Queen Mary's chaotic life in the palace in an avant-garde way, completing the most Versailles impression visually and costumes. The heroine, Kerstin Dunst, is of German descent, and her ivory skin does resemble a historical figure, but her eyes are slightly melancholy, wondering if the real Mary Antoinette is the same?
To get a closer glimpse into versailles, there is another historical drama series, Versailles (2015), which begins with Louis XIV and the palace itself. In this series, it is said that the Prince of Philippe, who played the younger brother of Louis XIV, was very popular with the audience because of his appearance.
Oh history! History, can we not let film and television be so gorgeous for our eyes again? Tell us the truth!
