cake! shoes! puppies! that damn marie antoinette movie

Ok. So I went to see that Marie Antoinette movie. On the one hand I liked it because of the awesome costuming [hot guys in wigs & capri pants!], but on the other hand it blew. The movie had a lot of pointless scenes and progressed in an almost painfully slow manner, which is a total shame since Mizz Sophia "I'mNotAsGoodAsMyDaddyButOMG!MarcJacobsIsAmazing" Coppola had unprecendented access to Versailles. I still have every intention of buying this crap on DVD, but the whole movie came across as an overbudget overglorified senior year student film with subliminal "Come Visit France! Strap on Your Pannier & Tour Versailles!" messages.

I'm not going to even get started on how the Revolution was completely glossed over. I don't remember if Necker was even portrayed in it.

What's everyone else's opinions/rants?

I actually liked it. A lot of people were like "Well, it didn't even focus on the Revolution and the end of her life", but.. wasn't the movie supposed to be about her regular life, not when she gets beheaded and such? I liked it... although they didn't mention the affair of the necklace deal -tear-.

I loved when they were showing all her shoes and they threw in a random pair of blue Converse. =)
