Oh, I'm glad. ^^ And your spelling isn't so "deteriorated". XD
For months, I've screamed against the LRF!SJ and the Wajda!SJ, watching Wajda's film even made me sick for a week, for the matter, because it was completely strange and puzzling and absurd and impossible to understand, the actors were terrible, the music was terrible, the "tint" of the film (the "colouring", don't know if you see what I mean) was all creepy and terrible -- so, all right, we got that you were trying to illustrate the "Terror", Wajda, no need to make it all so painful to the eyes. And yet... THAT BBC THING, it topped it all on the level of "horror". In my Chart of "The (Relatively Recent) Most Horrible Films/Docudramas Ever Made on the French Revolution", it just took the first place. And it's gotten to such a dramatic point that, indeed, one almost regrets Hampson's Lucifer -- if his horrible, silly, irrational metaphor (and conclusion line -- wtf?) can demonstrate at least the usually hated sides of Saint-Just's attitude. But here: where has the man who wrote about his "dust" and his "independant life" gone? And anyway, I stop here for the moment, or it's my whole essay that I'm going to re-write. XD My rage, it just won't cease.
I understand the opinion of "childishness" -- after all Saint-Just was twenty-six: I think he was brilliant and talented, but his ideas still reflected "youth". (Like, say, some very, very huge simplifications like in the "Institutions républicaines".) There are some physical and mental limits impossible to break. But Mantel's personal opinion -- and I already hated Mantel before that for her characterisation of Saint-Just, Le Bas and Élisabeth, among many things, in her novel -- is belittling and, really, it illustrates the whole vibe I've felt of "Saint-Just needing to be put back to his place" -- I've felt that often, I've always found it to be very despicable and even more arrogant attitude. Also, Mantel's speech just satisfies a bunch of old and/or conservatives who hate it when the youngest generations are in charge. Some of these are afraid of a "generational overthrow". Is it the return of the spectre of Mai '68?
