Marie Antoinette

10:36:00

History knows many influential women, independent minds who added to the progress of civilization and were strong-minded enough to change the politics, law or culture. Women proved that they don't need men to achieve something and their fate is in their own hands. But tragic lives of those who were sat on the top and taken to the very bottom by the hands of people's will are those we tend to remember the most. Is it easy to be welcomed in a foreign country and put in a position of power? Can a marriage of alliance bring happiness to a young inexperienced woman? Can the society of gossip and entertainment spoil a woman to the extent of being a legend of a shopping spree? And isn't every tragic woman a victim of circumstances? A modern take on history, Kirsten Dunst in Marie Antoinette, which divided the French and fascinated the American youth.

On the nature of pictures

*Every Google image belongs to someone and this someone should be noted. However, if pictures are scenes from the film they most probably belong to owners of the film/producers. I use saved screens of the Google compilation of pictures, thus the pictures of pictures, which I take, cut and edit myself (as a derivative use). They are used for reviewing purposes (fair use), not for diminishing the films' profits by stealing what rightly belongs to them. Copyright is tricky, let's get used to it.
