'Marie Antoinette' Film

Jason Schwartzman & Kirsten Dunst in Marie Antoinette

So I finally saw Marie Antoinette. I love Sofia Coppola, but this film was just okay to me. The only thing that I liked besides the costumes and cinematography was the fact that she placed MA and Louis XVI in a positive light. Jason Schwartzman was the perfect Louis XVI and he made me laugh throughout the beginning of the film. I sympathized them. Kirsten Dunst was amazing like usual, but I didn't realize that she was going to have an American accent in the film. I'm glad Coppola didn't have the American actors put on a fake accent because it probably wouldn't have been as funny and it would've been ridiculous.

There wasn't really a point to the film, which is what I don't like about it. It was difficult to pay attention to the film with the soundtrack that Coppola provided. Don't get me wrong, the soundtrack is amazing and is one of the best soundtracks I heard in a while, but I couldn't pay attention to what was happening in the film nor what the characters were saying.

It seemed that Marie Antoinette led a boring life. And Jamie Dornan is hot, but I didn't know he was THAT hot. Molly Shannon and Shirley Henderson made the perfect duo and it was interesting to see Shannon in a period film. In the end, I felt bad that members of the royal family had to die even in reality.
