People today are more tolerant of Marie Anton Vannett and her husband. According to Baidu Encyclopedia, at the celebration of the 200th anniversary of the French revolution in 1993, French President Mitterrand’s conclusion to Louis XVI was: "Louis XVI was a good man. Putting him to death is a tragedy, but it is also inevitable. "It's not much different from the movie. Louis XVI is a gentle, kind, gentle, and cowardly old man. He likes upside-down locks and hardware. He is probably the mansion of science and technology in that era. If the identity is a civilian, this person will be a good friend who everyone likes and has a good reputation. He is not a tyrant, but he will not rule the country, but as an emperor, he has no choice to resign. He can only bite the bullet and continue to mess around.
Every time I see the deeds of Louis XVI, I always think of those similarly wonderful subjugated princes of China that Jin Yong said in "The Commentary of Yuan Chonghuan": Some people like to write poems, some like to paint, some like to do carpentry, just make a mistake. He became the emperor. Jin Yong believes that all this is a tragedy in the era of monarchy: the country should be ruled by people with outstanding ability and high morals, if not, the people have the right to replace him. But in the Ming Dynasty, "Chinese people did not know this truth, nor did they have the ability." This truth would not be spoken by Sun Yat-sen until hundreds of years later. Everyone, including the emperor himself, was a victim of the imperial era. Turning to France, Louis XVI, who is not so bad, and his wife Marie Antoinette, who is not that bad, were tragically executed in the revolution, but this seemingly cruel revolution did one thing. : It is the reason that finally came into being, that is, “the country should be ruled by people with outstanding ability and noble morals. If not, the people have the right to replace him.” If people later do not understand this truth, all tragic deaths People died in vain.
Pulling away, back to Mary herself. Like her husband, Mary has nothing too bad in character. The basic core reason for everything that is criticized is that the queen is an eternal girl. This person has not divorced from his girly heart for a lifetime, is innocent and straightforward, has no political mind, and refuses to be wronged. He will only use buying, buying, gambling, gambling, and gambling these things that are sensory stimulation to reduce pressure. You can't collect the money when you burn it. As the goddess of Rococo, she decorated everything around her to be light, cute, and flashy, without a trace of heaviness. In fact, it was a reflection of the huge pressure accumulated in her heart. But apart from escape, she had no way to deal with this huge pressure. Mary is just like her favorite pink and mint green, shallow and innocent, no matter how hard she struggles, she can't get any depth. In the black of the background of the times, it looks so dazzling and hateful.
I guess the director was moved by Mary's tragedy because she is a forever girl. The plot of this film is fragmented and the rhythm is not good. The director did not spend much experience to describe the background of the big era, but in fact, it is not necessary to describe it, but in this case, many people will choose to let the background of the big era loom and ghost behind the main line of life in front. The director didn't even do this. The background of the times was very stiff, like studying, a lot of shots gave shoes, snacks, dance parties, and Mary indulged in the joy of it. Sex and love didn't even make her so happy-what a fourteen-year-old girl's heart this is. Classmate Pinbaobao said: "Sophia Coppola's movies are all at the same rhythm, and the story is not strong, procrastinating and struggling with her young girl's heart." Basically, it means this.
The rhythm of the film is not good but the atmosphere is still good. My personal favorite magic touch is to use rock music with classical plot. On the one hand, it reflects the turmoil in the protagonist's heart, and on the other hand, it also blurs time and space. As a second-generation IT GIRL who was born in the upper class society and has also been in the fashion circle, the director knows very well the high society teenagers' yearning for all the corrupt life icons during adolescence. The corrupt life of the upper class in ancient and modern China and abroad is just like that: Huafu , Food, gambling, chaos, gossip, palace fighting. When using rock music to match a classical dance party with BGM, there was no sense of disobedience. I thought it was a certain period costume party of modern people in a daze. These fascinated ancients are no different from the nobles in the Upper East Side of New York today. This is probably the most handsome part of this film.
Finally, let me talk about the people's far-sighted and near-smelling psychology. As mentioned earlier, unlike people at the time who wanted to smash Mary and Louis into pieces, today's people have a more tolerant evaluation of the couple, and they can understand their unselectable misery and misfortune. For example, this film directly talks about Mary as a tragic character, and the same is true of "The Rose of Versailles", which is the case for most of the works today. This change is of course due to social progress. Everyone commented that historical figures are more humane, and the second reason is even bigger... After all, Mary and Louis lived more than 200 years ago. You must not taste the pain of the people at that time, and naturally you will not be blinded by this pain to objective reason. But today’s people may not get the same treatment. The tragedies of Mary and Louis’s life are all to prove that “the country should be ruled by people with outstanding ability and high morals. If not, the people have the right to replace him.” Then if a person knows himself The ability is not outstanding, the morality is not high, and it is not suitable for ruling the country. It would be a disaster. Just resign and let others do it. This is not very in line with the scientific concept of development. It is a very good thing. But Edward VIII, who resigned from the seat of king 80 years ago, has been criticized all the time for not being responsible. In fact, this weak playboy who is good at dating, but can't handle the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the two countries wisely, really forced him to sit in that important seat, I'm afraid it will cause another Louis XVI tragedy. But because World War II is near, fear and anger are still there, so in most cases, he is still an image of a coward who is not very flattering (except for those "great love that loves beautiful people and does not love Jiangshan and gives up everything for love" in the chicken soup text ). If Mary was born 200 years later, she should still be a prodigal lady who is not seen by others, and few people sympathize.
