Just finished watching "Marie Antoinette" and I must say that the reviews were correct this time. After the pomp, pageantry and fabulous production design, this film really hasn't got anything more going for it.
Unlike "Elizabeth" which gave me a glimpse of why Queen Elizabeth "transformed" to what she is, this film just showed Marie Antoinette in a "rich girl, poor girl" point of view. After watching it, I didn't even empathize with Marie Antoinette, and it left me with no feelings for her.
As one of the reviews said: "It's like watching a masquerade ball for more than 2 hours." And it certainly felt that way.
The only two bits that spiced up the film were: Kirsten Dunst and a misplaced Converse Chuck Taylor in one of the scenes. Knowing how quirky Sofia Coppola was, i'm sure she did that on purpose.
