Due to reviews that sight its utter devotion to the superficial [the New
Yorker says that it doesn't try so much to make the Queen out to be like Paris
Hilton, as the film looks like it was MADE BY Paris Hilton] I might just wait
til the DVD. That will come soon enough.
I usually don't like these films that feel it necessary to equate historical
figures to modern "equivalents"...y'know like Mozart being a misunderstood
rock star. They are baloney. Usually the real stories and personalities of the
real people are more interesting and you learn nothing about Marie
Antoinette or the French Court at the time by anachronisms. Marie Antoinette
is as
much a product of the 18th century and Paris Hilton is a product of the 21st
century and comparisons seem superficial at best.
But it could be entertaining, though the trailers don't make it seem so to
me. The costumes look nice so I'll see it eventually for that.
