Before watching "Peerless Beauty", I knew that this film was notorious in France, so I was full of curiosity about this film. However, the gorgeous costumes in the film are still very eye-catching. The court's exquisite costumes and the magnificent Versailles have created a France hundreds of years ago.
The story is about the queen of Louis XVI: Queen Marie married in France at the age of 14, until the time of the French Revolution, almost the whole life of Marie. I don't know much about the French history of that period, but I remember that in the textbook of history class, a French king was guillotined, probably Louis XVI and the queen. Louis XVI was not as stupid as most people imagined. He was an excellent locksmith, obsessed with making all kinds of exquisite locks, and he was also very thrifty. He proposed some rectification measures and practiced them when France was in a period of total decline. But he is not fit to be a monarch, he is indecisive, he is powerless in the face of such an empire, he can only maintain his dignity, when all the royal families are fleeing from France, he resolutely decides to stay and live and die with his country .
Mary is the youngest daughter of the Queen of Austria. In order to stabilize the country of Austria, Mary came to France as a political means and married Louis XVI. At this time, Mary was only 14 years old. She had been doted on since she was a child, and she did not understand politics at all. In the first seven years of the wedding, the Queen of Austria just kept urging her to have children, but Louis never touched her. In the lonely palace life, Mary chose to indulge, gorgeous shoes that were changed several times a day, exquisite pastries, and Mary lived a rotten life to make up for the emptiness in her heart. When she started giving birth, everything changed, Louis and her relationship got better and better, and she also began to get in touch with nature and feel life. At a masquerade party, she met a handsome and romantic general who instantly compared her honest and cowardly husband. This should be her only love. The French put all the blame on her, saying that she was the one who caused the French budget deficit, just like the emperor of China who "why not eat minced meat", when she was told that the French had no bread to eat, she actually said " Why don't you eat cake?" The death of the Austrian queen completely cut off her relationship with her motherland, and she became a real French, a woman who has been infamous for the ages. But this film tells us that all choices are inevitable, and she is just a political victim.
The director of the film, Sofia Coppola, is worthy of being a member of the Coppola family. The film is atmospheric, natural, and the picture is exquisite and gorgeous. The main color of pink shows the unique perspective of women, and the scene of Louis coronation is even more It feels like an oil painting. The only political part of the film is when Louis XVI and his ministers talk about America. Sophia is an American after all. As for the infamy this film received in France, it is entirely conceivable that most of the dialogue in this film is in English, just as we Beijingers are not used to hearing non-Beijing dialects in TV dramas about the Qing Dynasty adapted from Taiwan and Hong Kong. People certainly cannot accept such kings and queens, not to mention that Mary, who was infamous in France, was portrayed as a person worthy of sympathy. The heroine Kirsten Dunst (Kirsten Dunst), indeed, her other films are better than the MJ in "Spider-Man", MJ is a vase. Although Dunst doesn't have much aristocratic temperament, she still has a good grasp of this character since she was a child, at least she performed Queen Mary according to the director's intention. When Dunst appeared on the screen in a gorgeous palace dress, I suddenly remembered that Claudia, played by the young Dunst in "Interview with the Vampire", was thirty years old, with a teenage body, Dunst's eyes are the rare mature eyes of teenagers. When she sees an adult woman's body, she says "I wanna be her", "I want to be her", because she can only stay in her teens forever in the body. Queen Mary, it is Dunst who has grown up. Prettier than women in vampires. Louie, Brad Pitt's name in vampires is Louie.
At the end of the film, it did not describe how the two couples were pushed to the guillotine, but Queen Mary said "goodbye" to the palace and the ruined palace. The ruined palace in black and white tones, after the prosperity, is an endless decline.
