Yeah, that's what [livejournal.com profile] kola said. I don't think there's a way to MAKE a movie about Marie Antoinette that is sympathetic to her, without fucking up the revolution. There's a similar problem with young adult fiction books about her, even when they're relatively high quality authors: once you try to view Marie Antoinette as anything other than a stupid rich woman who could give a fuck about starving Parisians in the new "free market economy" that was being introduced, you cannot uncontort yourself enough to give anything like a realistic account of the French Revolution, its causes and consequences. It's a fairly one-sided story, really. Even Charles Dickens knew that.
