I think it's cocaine, he keeps touching his nose.
However, Schama does not need either cocaine or crack to talk nonsense and the same is true about the document's authors. Mixing the images - in this case those of Robespierre with those of Stalin, or those of a early 20th century movie on French revolution with the Khmers rouges, Cuban or Iranian revolution- is a classical tool of any propaganda and was used by the bolsheviks and Goebbels. The people who speak in this docudrama have their mouth full of liberty, persuasion (without thinking that the success mainly depends on who is in position to persuade efficiently and who not) and "loyal opposition", but the movie practises the accusation by association in a very similar way that the propaganda of those they criticize...
Et Mantel, elle est insupportable...All the crap she talks about Camille as the last bound of Robespierre with his childhood - What about his brother who, as she might know, died on thermidor 10th? All the silly comments as "Child, sit down!" - Oh yes, a very reasonable and honest way of discussing with people is to oppose their arguments by remarks on their age. Dear Hilary, I am really not much interested whether G. W. Bush was an alcoholic or not or if he killed chicken for pleasure when he was eight. For understanding history it is much more interesting to analyze why the people of a free, democratic country voted for him for second time after his government attacked another country and started a war based on a bunch of lies and false evidence. But it seems less dangerous to talk about the chicken...

oh yeah! He does doesn't he? XD he sounded way toooo excited...(unless he had the sniffles xD but i doubt that..xD)

Yeah Schama just yapped nonsense and now i'm scared that i'll have nightmares about him. It was nonsense. I know, they kind of ignore his brother..I have no idea why they did, because he did join Robespierre. Yeah don't ask me about Bush, we're just too stupid I'm afraid. I wasn't old enough vote..>.> nor would i voted for Bush.

Like it's been said..that docudrama was ridiculous and what did it accomplish? Nothing. Nothing at all but adding more nonsense. Like i said, i got lost and even viewing it for a 2nd time doesn't help. Why do they IGNORE his brother who was in Paris with him and was even elected to the Convention? It's like Robespierre was an only child or something..

>.>
yeah.

I hate this show..i wasted an hour of my life i'm afraid on something stupid.

I did not mean to open a debate on Bush after suffering through the docudrama, we won't be so masochist, will we? :-) I just tried to argument that the way Mantel makes everything personal is not only ridiculous, but also politically irrelevant.

Yeah i know xD Yeah lets not be masochist xD I have no idea, she has nothing better to do than make it personal.

xD

It's okay. Totally okay xD I don't like pain..xD
