Okay i have to ask..because i don't think anyone has..

*look around the corners suspiciously*

Since i've been recently for the whole weekend, nursing a bad infection thus staying in bed like Maxime xD I thought..

why not?

anyhow, from any french revolutionary film, what is your favorite portrayal of Maxime or Saint-Just or Camille?

my favourite portrayal of Maxime is also that by A. Seweryn :)... but i also really really like Ronan Vibert as Maxime in The Scarlet Pimpernel:D...

I think A. Seweryn scares me as Maxime. Tis a good job i think; the scarlet pimpernel? xD lmao. I only read the first book..then i dropped it because it was boring.

My tastes are a bit weird;). I have to admit.. Maybe I was a bit biased because Vibert is one of my favourite actors. But I try to watch every thing that has to do with the revolution and I’ve read somewhere that Vibert tried to ignore the steroetypes and bring a more historically accurate personification of Robespierre, so I decided to watch the series. It made the revolution look a bit bad as other British stuff (and my teacher) do but with time I think I’m getting used to it somehow (however still irritates me) [don't know how to explain myself exactly sry]... As said before, I'm getting used to it also because of my teacher. I study history and my teacher like to say stuff such as “monstrous..." or "monster...” when referring to the Revolution and Robespierre and when I tell her something in his favour, she just ignores me and this still really annoys me. I agree with you about the book. My teacher suggested that I should read it but I only read the first few chapters.

I watched La Terreur et la Vertu. It looked really good but I felt like an idiot because unfortunately I don’t know French :( (I’m hopeless at languages) however in a few parts i used some of the translations of the film done in this community so thank u all citizens:)… from what I saw i agree that Negroni was also very good in the part.

thanks a lot and sry if my english isn't so good...

Some history teachers should really have been better history students...Whatever, one is still surprised how it's possible that with such competition for posts people who think "monster" is a historical category get their chair :O "Monster?"...has she ever heard the word "professional"?

Maybe but i am weirder i can assure you. Vibert is not all that cute. i kind of want my Robespierre's actors cute. dont ask me why. im weird. and for some odd reason A.Seweryn seems cute but severe in his role. tis very good. yeah it was opposite for me when my teacher talked about the french revolution. dont worry i cant watch la terreur et la vertu cuz i cant speak french either. boohoo makes me sad. i think i scared my teacher cuz i loved maxime too much. even showed her my liberty cap xD tis funny but i looked more like a smurf than a sans culotte. :-\
