La Storia é fatta di grandi personaggi e grandi errori, oltre a grandi intuizioni.. Maria Antonietta avrà le sue colpe, come l’aver sottovalutato il disagio e il malessere di un popolo che, in tutta onestà, non l’aveva mai accettata veramente, fin dal suo arrivo in Francia, ma sicuramente nulla é stato concesso né a lei né alla sua famiglia, il tutto é stato trattato, a mio parere, in modo disumano e incivile, e ingiusto, da un popolo sapientemente guidato da pochi rappresentanti che miravano, in fondo, anch’essi al potere, no? Troppa foga, troppe incongruenze.. Mi piace pensare ad una grande donna, ottima madre, travolta dalla Storia ma oggi andrebbe tutto molto diversamente.. In definitiva una grande ingiustizia storica..

While the French revolutionaries may have used Antoinette as a scapegoat, they were not totally injust in their hatred for her or the extravagances of the monarchy at the time. The French monarchy by its very nature lived lavishly often without any regard to what the common people were going through and Marie Antoinette was no exception to the fact. How would you like it if the president of your country was ordering millions of dollars worth of gowns and jewels while you were starving? To say that Marie Antoinette and Louis Auguste did everything in their power to help the ailing French people is simply not true. There are numerous records to show that during the famine and particularly difficult years for the people, Antoinette ordered new Reisener furniture for the Petit Trianon which in today’s money could easily cost hundereds of thousands of dollars. In the end, Marie Antoinette lived like royalty and was very much out of touch with her people and their struggles and this is what they hated more than anything.

questa storia e molto triste però secondo me lo sbaglio l’ha fatto sia il popolo che la regina perchè sbaglierò ma lei e sempre stata coraggiosa fino al momento della sua morte e se il popolo l’avrebbe lasciata in vita lei avrebbe cambiato tutto,avrebbe reso la sua vita felice ma anche quella del suo popolo.perchè io sono convinta ce lei avrà pensato molto a quello che aveva fatto.se potessi tornare indietro cambierei la parte della rivoluzione perche maria antonietta cel’avrebbe fatta a salvere la situazione ance senza suo marito perchè non e giusto morire a 38 anni…

It sounds like Maria was the victim of 18th century attack ads. When will we learn better

jean, about the tudors, i have never seen it, i think it’s a fifteen certificate, and i’m nearly fourteen, but if it was henry the eighth you were talking about, he was skinny, at first, it was only when he got older that he put on weight.

je ne suis pas totalement en accord avec se que vous avez dit le film de copolla n’a pas terni l’image de marie antoinette Copolla la seulement enjoliver pour le cinema c’est sur elle ne passer pas son temp au triadon dans les bras d’un amant mais ce n’est qu’un film qui retrace en gros la vie de marie antoinette en “egsagerer” ( excuser moi pour l’ortographe je ne suis pas tres douer) donc en claire je ne suis pas d’accord avec votre article. et marie antoinette est la plus grande reine de france que je connais du au de mes 12 ans et j’en sais sur elle!!

Great article. I have yet to see the 2006 film as I rarely watch “historical” films due to their annoying habit of making me angry with their lack of actual historic facts.

I wanted to share with you a book that you may be interested in reading, it is called Madame Tussaud by Michelle Moran, it is quite a good book about the famous wax-modeller who was at times quite close to the royal family. It is a work of fiction based on historic events and is sympathetic to the Royal family’s plight.

A fair article. Although I concede there are many errors- historical or otherwise- for the most part it is written in a way that fans the initial spark well.
