Marie Antoinette Personal Movie Rating: 2-3 of 10
Reason:
I kept sitting in the movie theatre thinking "Okay, the plot's going to pick up any second now, and there's going to be this really powerful scene or something." Yeah, well, that didn't happen. The movie had almost no plot and ended the story when they could have had material if they kept going. It ended when the royal family flees the palace, and doesn't show anything about how they were caught and brought back to the palace and eventually hung. That is the key part of history, for heaven's sakes.

I don't even know... If I have to say anything, I'd say that it was an artsy film.
Costumes:
Costumes were wonderful. The dresses were very era correct down to the little details like the shoes, accessories, and undergarments. Jason Shwartzman's (Louis XVI) fat suit or makeup job, was amazing.
Characters were all very good at their parts, especially Kirsten Dunst. She held the "air" that I imagined Marie Antoinette would- both before coming to France, when she was more shy and reserved, and after she got into the swing of things. Not only that, she gave it a little more flair to make the character more interesting to the audience. Jason Schwartzman did an awesome job of playing Louis XVI, the awkward, introverted character who hardly knew a thing about socializing or running a country.
Plot:
Like I said before, guys, there was no plot, so I have nothing else to say.
Ending:
The ending was horrible- they cut the story off at the best part.Music:
If I am remembering this correctly, the music was mainly music that fit the era along with a little Indie in there. It was appropriate for the time, but not something that most of us would like.
