I know I’m about three years behind, but I finally saw Marie Antoinette. I’d resisted seeing it because I am not a Kirsten Dunst fan. She’s cute and all, but I’m not a fan of her acting abilities. But I finally decided to see it, and to my complete and utter surprise, I loved it. LOVED IT.
It was like stepping into this delectable little cupcake world. I loved the costumes, the cinematography, the music, and I even found Kirsten Dunst tolerable. I enjoyed the way the story was told through little vignettes. I liked how the story was more visual than verbal. The whole thing was just gorgeous, and I loved the ending. I’m very glad that Sofia Coppola decided not to take Marie Antoinette to the guillotine.
It inspired me to learn more about Marie Antoinette, and by that I mean reading her Wikipedia page. The learning stops there. Actually, it stopped about 3/4 of the way through, when I got bored. Because reading is awesome and all, but make no mistake, what I really like are pretty pictures.
This is my favorite picture of the real Marie Antoinette. It was considered very “unqueenly” of her to have her portrait painted in a simple muslin dress.
I loved it too! Like you, I really appreciate the way it was told through vignettes rather than words. Andrea’s last blog post..Red!
I alredy saw the movie and I also loved it <3 Did you saw the all stars sneakers?
Well... at least you're honest about liking pictures over words ;) I find Kirsten Dunst's teeth quite odd. Like Keira Knightley's lips. But I agree. I loved the movie. The whole look of it. Favourite bit was Jason Schwartzman of course. ondressingup’s last blog post..a twit for using twitter

I love love love this film. I was never a great Kirsten Dunst fan either, neither admired her acting, but all the times she was directed by Sofia, she surprised me somehow, I think she gave substance both in the virgin suicides and marie antoinette. Romeika’s last blog post..

I totally luv the Movie! I think that Count Axel Von Fersen is smokin' hot and i could just eat him up! i did see the all-star sneekers! too funny! they were even baby blue! I totally love M.A. and one of my fav. books about her is 'Abundance' by Seena Jeter Naslund. This author is compleatly amazing! by the way, i am only 13 years old, but i like to read 'The Communist Manifesto' and 'Lord of the Flies' in my spare time
