Making the Wedding of Archduchess Marie Antoinette of Austria, his daughter, to the heir to the French crown, Duke of Berry, Delfin Louis Auguste (King Louis XVI), son of King Louis XV. Marie Antoinette, married at the age of 14 and will live in France. The marriage took 7 years to consummate, due to a physical problem of Delfin. Meanwhile, Marie Antoinette tries to survive the gossip and intrigues of the Court of Versailles. The teenager, Marie Antoinette, takes refuge then, in the Petit Trianon, (Palace, built, by the grandfather, of the Delfin, Louis XIV, for his lover). Delfin Louis Auguste (King Louis XVI)gave it to his wife as a gift. There, she joins her friends, to make parties and games, (the context of the film is in this period). Much later, the Queen realizes that to survive at Versailles, it takes political cunning and if around faithful collaborators. With the French Revolution, France is endowed with a Constitution. The old regime of Kingshipis counting on its days.It results in Louis XV, guillotined in 1793. Marie Antoinette is guillotined soon after. The Queen was prosecuted and tried for betraying France (unfairly, political strategy) of having frivolous behavior (parties and games, with her friends at the Petit Trianon). Who never was young, teenage, and wanted to have fun. Imagine, the 14-year-old girl, leaving her country out of obligation and to get married and also takes on such a responsibility that it is to rule a country. The future King only had the surgery, to correct the problem, and was cured, only 7 years later. To consume the marriage. Well, the teenager Marie Antoinette, had parties and games in her little palace.The young Marie Antoinette influenced a whole court, with its beautiful dresses, with its joviality and joy. The style used in Época, was the Rococo, rich in details and adornments. Wigs were common, makeup with white skin, rosy cheeks and red lips, both for women and men (probably the appearance gave the impression of health, as the wigs, it was much easier, because at the time it was difficult to fix the hair). Marie Antoinette was one of the best fashionistas the world has ever known. Sofia Coppola (all her movie of her are wonderful, like this one), in her film "Marie-Antoinette", exposes exactly this excerpt from the Queen's life. With all the finesse and artistic mastery, Qualities of Director Sofia Coppola. 2006 Movie with Kirsten Dunst, in the lead role. An cameo by Jamie Dornan, (actor in the movie "Fifty Shades of Gray") Soundtrack: New Order, Air, Siouxsie and Banshees, The Strokes, Gang of Four, Adam & the Ants, Vivaldi, The Cure, Aphex Twin, Domenico Scarlatti / Reitzell, etc. Visually stunning, with a fun soundtrack, very elegant costumes (Helena Canonero, Costume Designer). It's a movie that deserves to be "seen". The phrase: "If they have no bread, let them eat brioche", was never said by the Princess, given the scarcity of bread. Sofia Coppola's movie, Marie Antoinette, which covers the nineteen years that fabulous and tragic woman spent in Versailles. It was filmed largely on location at the palace, Grand Trianon at the Château de Versailles. Marie Antoinette had a skin care routine, beautiful and attractive, with blonde hair, blue eyes, a clear, thin skin and the lower lip of the Habsburg family, she bathed every day, It hydrated the skin and body every day. It left the environment around, fragrant. She was the fifteenth child of a formidable mother, Empress Maria Teresa, who led her huge empire so efficiently that she continued to read state newspapers during childbirth. At the last minute they discovered that the bride-to-be (who liked to dance and play with children and dolls) could barely read and write. Her mother provided an intensive education and makeover, including cosmetic dentistry, a less provincial hairstyle, and an entirely new wardrobe with French-style clothes. Then the girl rolled through the forest in a special golden carriage with golden roses (symbol of the Habsburgs) and lilies (symbol of the Bourbons) Shaking her head with a forelock (wig hairstyle) that hit the roof, (it was so tall). Behind the huge glass windows, she was like a jewel in a padded box. From now on, her mother her warns her, all eyes would be on her, and she should do as she was told. Maria Theresa had anxious premonitions; her girl her was lively and affectionate by nature.However, nothing could prepare a stranger to live with the rigid etiquette of Versailles.In a strictly hierarchical system of absolute monarchy, all power derived from the king, who was next in line with God. Everything about the palace was designed to impress. As her mother had predicted, the debutante First Lady of Versailles was watched by a thousand eyes for the first signs of a misstep. Gossip, humiliating mockery and intimidation were the main occupations of the court. she had a hard job ahead of her, in fact: securing the power of the French state (and the alliance with her homeland) by giving birth to a future dauphin. King Louis discouraged her from taking an interest in politics, but gave her up to all other pastimes. Where Marie Antoinette and her handsome younger brother, the Count d'Artois, organized nightly game parties. In 1775 Louis presented her with the Petit Trianon, a jewel of a neoclassical castle of intimate and perfect proportions, located in the park of Versailles, a fifteen-minute walk from the palace. The interior was, bright and comfortable, with wildflower boiseries, corn cobs and roses. “You who love flowers, I give you this bouquet,” he said. In alliance with creative people-its architects, landscapers and, above all, the seamstress Rose Bertin and the hairdresser Léonard-she made the Trianon and her own person as exquisite as it could be. She had a great passion, it was for fashion. She dressed to be fashionable, she was indebted to fashion, she was witty. She liked to dazzle in the best outfit at her own costume balls; she liked the buzz about her tall hair when she appeared in her box at the theater in Paris. She and her friend Princesse de Lamballe were the talk of the town when they showed up at the Bois de Boulogne for a winter sleigh ride—two blondes, all in white, with diamonds and furs. Silks and velvets for court dresses, muslin ,with leaf drawings, for the new casual dresses that matched (with Gainsborough hats) the English garden. Fans, lace, silk flowers. The wheel of fashion, turned by the queen and Mlle Bertin, her “minister of fashion”, turned faster and faster. The world of modern fashion was born at this time. Bertin (whose story resembles Coco Chanel's in her business acumen and her rise in society) was the first seamstress; Léonard was the first superstar hairdresser. Of Gascon peasant descent, he rode for his ladies in a noble carriage and (like Bertin) was given to making snobbish pronouncements. (“The great Léonard doesn't get his hands dirty with the bosses of the middle classes.”) Other women, looking at fashion magazines and having no choice but to follow the queen's example, risked bankrupting their husbands. France's own coffers were empty after she fought the British in the US War of Independence. When the Bastille fell on July 14, 1789. The Queen found extraordinary reserves of will and character. Her husband had kept her out of state affairs, but now, when he seemed unable to decide what to do (once he didn't say a word for ten full days), she found herself acting for him. She became, they said, the best man he ever had. She consulted with her ministers, spent hour after hour writing letters to people who could help them. She turned out to be her mother's daughter and very good at political intrigue. She used her charm to turn several revolutionary leaders, including the Count of Mirabeau, into the king's secret agents. Finally, in 1791, it was decided that the family should try to escape - not into exile like most of their friends and relatives, but to a fortified palace not far from the border. In the verdict, she had dressed all in white, as carefully as possible in her circumstances. She faced death with absolute self-control and dignity, and walked gracefully, even with her hands tied, to the scaffold. This amazing woman was deservedly honored in this wonderful Movie by Sofia Coppola. (To read more articles, Click Article Archive Above, Click, Scroll Down, and just read!)
