The Movie: Marie Antoinette.

”Candy” is a good way to describe the pastel world of Marie Antoinette.

Kirsten Dunst plays the graceful Marie Antoinette. I thought she was a perfect match for this role. I’ve read and heard that the movie was too long lasting, but personally I thought it ended too soon. I wanted more!!
- Marie Antoinette’s story is quite a story. This movie is not a big historical epic story. It is more like, what it might have been like from her point of view. It’s an imagined Marie-Antoinette-personal-side-story, really. Imagine being send to France to be a princess in an age of 14-15. Then she’s got this weird unconsummated marriage, and she’s supposed to produce a child, a baby. It is well portrayed. She sort of tried to cope with this situation. And all the shopping and the extravagance and the decadence. All of that was a sort of reaction to these terrible things which had happened to her which were not of her making.
Anyway..I simply love old-fashioned-things and clothes. So I’ve been looking forward to this movie for months.. And I actually managed to miss it when it was at the cinema in Easter. I bought it some days ago, and now I’ve finally seen it. You should see me now; I am so satisfied and happy.
It’s just..
The shoes in the cutest shoeboxes, the fabrics.. Clothes and dresses, hats, feathers, hairdos, glows, jewellery, champagne, all the beautiful flowers. The food, oh my goodness the delicious-looking food. All kinds of beautiful decorated cream and marzipan cakes, confect, chocolate, cupcakes, fruit and berries. Ridicules, cute, pink pastries. The crystal lamps hanging in the sky-high ceiling and the furniture’s inside the palace of Versailles. All the patterns, portraits and the art at the walls, the ceiling, the carpeted floors, and the bed. The tub in the bathroom. The windows and not to mention the enormous garden! Even the tiny dogs’ diamante necklaces and the gambling-ships in light blue, pink, peach pastel-colors.
The pretty horse wagon and the firm & handsome horse riders. The delicate wedding dance.
All the luxury.
I’m sucking it in like a kid does while watching cartoons. I gasped and had to sit up many times, lean forward, and then throw myself backwards in the coach, smiling and eating sweets.
..And when she leaves and kind of breaks free from the Versailles in the Petit Trianon phase. Oh man. Isn’t it the most heaven-ish place? And their children, how incredible cute. Like angels!

To all you girls out there if you’ve not seen it yet; then what are you waiting for?
It is both romantic and heartbreaking, filled with a bunch of macaroons and fluffy drama.

I fell in love with this new-romantic-ish style.

Eye-candy ;)
