Sophia is ambitious, she wants to tell the public her interpretation of the characters, and she wants to tell people a more humane Queen of Doom, so when borrowing historical documents, she resolutely abandoned the most authoritative figure of Stephen Zweig Biography, favoring Fraser's novel Marie Antoinette: The Journey. Apparently, Sophia was a little overconfident this time around, so she was a little hurt when she was booed at the Cannes screening. Here I would like to give Sophia a sentimental advice-although sometimes the sword will have a miraculous effect, but some events cannot be slanted.
Due to the bias in the selection of materials, Coppola's focus was on showing women's minds, trying to render a life of indulgence due to emptiness and exhaustion. Under her direction, Antoinette, who was frustrated with marriage, was in love with sensual dogs and horses. In order to reproduce this spirit, the director used the luxurious and fragrant court life as the framework of the film, just like the skirts of ladies. : Bright and magnificent fabrics, novel and unique shoes, bizarre hairstyles, beautiful accessories, exquisite and tempting food, nobles with heavy makeup, grand and gorgeous clothing shows and luxurious feasts...
This kind of footage is pleasing to the eye at first glance, "it turned out to be colorful and blooming", as if the eyes touched the dreamland of psychedelic colors, but once there are many similarities, they begin to feel disgusted and even nauseated, as if the audience swallowed a lot of them at one time. The cream cake is really boring to the extreme. What's more, Coppola originally planned to dilute the sense of history, heaviness and vicissitudes of this work related to historical figures. While showing the beauty and splendor of her female vision, she also stingy to give the French Revolution and the final tragic ending. , and even lost the support that the plump characters should have. The more magnificent Coppola, who shows off his skills, reproduces the palace, the more the film becomes empty and boring, so the thin and one-sided angles and analysis are piled up after a lot of flashy and empty shots, making the film look airy and empty. Doubt arises - is it necessary to shoot?
Perhaps everyone is familiar with the story of Marie Antoinette, so Sophia omits a lot of background, even if it is a very critical point, she does not bother to touch on it, such as Marie's character development, which should be her future. Incentives for the journey. Antoinette was born in a real wealthy family - the youngest daughter of the Holy Roman Emperor and the Queen of Austria, the No. 1 female politician in Europe at that time. This little princess who was overly spoiled was lazy and lazy. Can't use French and German proficiently, and what's even more frightening is that she was born and raised in a political environment, she lacked the most basic historical common sense and other necessary concepts.
From being a princess to being a princess, and then being upgraded from a princess to a queen, Antoinette was surrounded by flatterers and lived a life of luxury and lust. thing. Even if she is not a villain, her extravagance is undoubtedly an irony to the French poor whose living standards are falling again and again. Her brother of the Austrian emperor once wrote during a visit to France: "The queen is a beautiful woman, but she is very ignorant...wasting her time in profligacy and diversion...she must become a thoughtful person, but such idleness Life made her unable to think." After the Great Revolution, the troubled former queen began to think, but it was a pity that she grew her brain too late, and it was too late.
The film starred Kirsten Dunst when she was 11 years old and had a stunning performance - "Interview with the Vampire", she played with three handsome guys, Tom, Peter and Banderas. . At that time, she was not inferior to the big stars. Claudia, who became a vampire when she was still a little girl, wants to be a woman and wants to have a beautiful body after a few decades, her hatred for Tom's vampire, and her desire to have a beautiful body. The love for Pitgo the vampire, the interpretation is applauded. The audience can clearly see the traces of the years on that naive and tender baby face, especially those sophisticated and keen eyes. It can be seen that Dunst should be one of the most powerful young actresses, but it is a pity that he has not encountered a good show in recent years, so he should be Spider-Man's girlfriend to gain some popularity. This time, under Coppola's one-sided and far-fetched framework, she couldn't make the characters three-dimensional, like photos.
The film is not completely useless, at least in terms of color, picture, and soundtrack. For example, the soundtrack, which uses a lot of modern rock elements, is full of tension, and reflects the collision and intersection between gorgeous and exquisite and rock music in terms of texture. Perhaps another translation of the film, "Cardamom Grace", is more relevant to Sofia's original intention.
Whether or not the Beheaded Queen has left a "famous saying" in her short life - when the poor can't eat bread, she said, "Why don't they eat cake?" After watching this film, I want to say, I'm tired of it Oversized cream cake, but no bread to eat.
