Ooh, interesting. Hmm... I wouldn't be surprised if most people here do :) I think overall and historically Robespierre has more a habit of just totally polarizing a lot of people to one extreme point of view or another... Very strong opinions on both sides. And those that try to be objective - or just 'non-extreme', for whatever reason - tend get really, really confused =) (See The Life and Opinions of Maximilien Robespierre by Norman Hampson. V. good!)
(I haven't seen the film Danton... :( What did you think of it?? I only know that it was based in some way on Stanisława Przybyszewska's 'The Danton Case', which I have read. But am I right in thinking that while she was a HUGE fan of Robespierre, the film changed quite a bit of those elements?)
