Let Them Eat Cake

For the love of God, I cannot believe I sat through the entire thing. The whoooole movie.

I had my doubts about Sofia Coppola's Marie Antoinette, because I couldn't believe that a movie full of american actors about the queen of France could be any good. To be honest, it is visually amazing. Breathtaking really. But also incredibly shallow.

I was hoping, when I decided to watch the damned thing, to be shown some sort of other side to Marie Antoinette's life. Maybe Sofia Coppola had truly understood the woman and made a movie about who she was, about her life, you know.

And what do I get? Some self-indulgent, deep as a kiddie pool, neon cake, dresses and shoes, champagne and blue converse piece of ...BAH. No wonder the French booed her.

Gahddddd, if you're gonna make a movie about Marie-Antoinette, at least do it RIGHT. It's called historical accuracy. And for Pete's sake, don't tell the whole effing planet that you made a movie about a person who existed according to your perspective of her! Don't say you're making a movie about a person who actually lived and then completely ignore some of the most wel-known facts about that person. And then make a whole nation look like the bad guys.

SIGH.

Anywho. This has been the weirdest weekend ever. It's like I've had three Sundays in a row.

I got to watch Hollywoodland though, and then The Jacket.........Adrien Brody ^-^.

Well.....Ciao!
