She lived and spent like the king's mistresses were supposed to, buying the latest fashions and being progressive and that's kind of what the issue was.

Also, when she started wearing the dress a la reigne, she ditched the silk made in France for the cotton imported from India, thus damaging the French economy. I read it happened the same when she prefered pearls instead of diamonds.

There were also the issues of her being Austrian after the France and Austria had some devastating wars between them. She committed a lot of faux pas’ but those were compounded by the fact that she was foreign and could never be “French enough.”

But she still was spending excessive amounts of money and in times were it was not wise.

I would like the point out the converse in the movie. I read in a article that the converse were put there for a reason to symbolize Marie's youth. She was still a teen of course. She was shopping, having fun and the poor girl had so many expectations she wanted to go home. There were other easter eggs of modern stuff in the movie that symbolized Marie's youth. She is honestly a icon but sadly her lavish life wasn't always rosey. She did mean well but she really didnt have a role model or a mentor on how to guide her through those things. Her people of France even spoke ill of her (to be fair she wasn't really helping them either but she didnt know how to.) The saying "Let them eat cake" was just made up by them painting the poor girl as a villain. She was just a kid but then again royalty back then didnt care which sucks ass. Marie was literally born in the wrong time.

Of course she had no easy life with many expectations placed on her, but she also did not really try. She never cared about politics and ignored most of the advices her mother was sending or which Mercy, (the Austrian emissary living with her in Versailles) was giving her. And of course, she was very young at the beginning, but she ruled the country 20 years, died with 37.

My opinion of Marie Antoinette as a person: I don't believe that she was malicious or feckless, just naive. I think she had no concept of the real world because she'd never been a part of it. I think that she didn't know any better and the consequences of her lavish lifestyle were lost on her; she'd always had buckets of money spent on her which seemed limitless, and she'd never been troubled by where it came from or the what if it ran out. Nevertheless, she was not personally responsible for France's economic inequality and had little to nothing to do with any policy issues nor did she have anything to do with setting the national budget. She was scapegoated for a lot of issues because she was foreign and badly libeled in the French press. She wasn't really that bad. My opinion of the films costumes: they make perfect sense and I'm fine with anachronisms when they are made consciously for a purpose and not because of ignorance or laziness, and in the end they create the right feel and suit the character. It's the opposite of Little Women, in which the inaccuracies seem more like mistakes than choices and it felt like the designer just didn't really care.

[@gianmarcorusso1713]

Very wise comment, just one note: she actually had sense of the real world. If you read her correspondence she had much compassion for her subjects and the poorness which afflicted them. She could not do anything of course: it was a system which existed before her, she couldn't and wouldn't change it.

[@eleonorepb4565]

15 years old was a normal age for an european princess to get married. She was not particularly younger than others.

Something extra about the chemise a la rein that you left out: silk, the traditional court dress material, was a French colony product, while cotton was a British colony product.

Eventually, most of the aristocrats did it in a desperate attempt to sympathise with the common folk.

[@mellowenglishgal]

I think it’s so sad that Marie Antoinette wasn’t even supposed to marry Louis. Her older-sister was betrothed to him, but caught smallpox and died. Marie Antoinette, whose education had been neglected due to her being one of the youngest children of Marie Therese, was the backup and the Austrian court had less than a year to prepare her for the life of a future queen of France. She also had to have very painful dentistry to correct her teeth, early orthodontics called the ‘pelican’. Antonia Fraser’s book - from which Coppola’s script was largely taken - goes into a lot more detail about Maria Antonia’s childhood. Marie Antoinette was also slated for spending on her wardrobe, but there were very strict etiquette rules about how many changes of outfit she had to have in a day, and the same etiquette rules dictated how much money she had to spend - yet the allowance hadn’t changed since the etiquette rules were first written to reflect the economy and the cost of her wardrobe.

Whether it's the 1770s with the robe a la Francaise or the 1780s with the robe a langlaise and the hedgehog hairstyle you can tell that the years are progressing and what the situation is for Marie Antoinette.

[@HawkinaBox]

I remember someone pointing out about the Converse clip was a representation to show her youthful side.

[@MalloryNewcomb]

I was 9 when I saw the DVD for Marie Antoinette at Walmart and I wanted to get it simply because the aesthetic was so pretty. It made me feel something seeing “MJ” dressed up as an actual princess in the colorful backdrop. So I always had it in my head that this would be something I would want to watch “when I’m older” I am very glad you enjoyed it so much :)

[@doro2226]

I’ve never seen like 90% of the media you talk about, but I still love watching these videos.

[@EVGMoviemaker]

I was 12 when this came out and I'm positive it shaped my entire personality 😆 other than that, this is a grade A example of how to 'modernize' historical costumes in a good way! So many directors talk about making the characters 'relatable' by stripping everything away from historical looks and making them wear leather pants or something, but this movie gave us accurate silhouettes and fabrics while still feeling fun and fresh!

I'd love a review about Interview the Vampire, the decades pass through the movie and I didn't see any review about it

[@Gia-q7y]

her outfit in the transition from austria to france is very reminiscent of the character design of alice in alice in wonderland, and i feel like that’s on purpose. she’s transitioning into a strange new world, she has no idea how to navigate. she’s just a child, dealing with the insanity of the 18th century french court lifestyle. everyone dresses frivolously and garishly, the rules are ridiculous and to a young girl from the austrian court, it would’ve seemed like a dream/nightmare. she’s alice, and this is her wonderland.

[@lauras5359]

the scene at 9:05 is so so sad, especially when she has to leave her dog behind. Like if that happened to me I just wouldn't be able to and would have a meltdown too!

[@myettechase]

Also I will *never* forget when I went to see a production of the David Adjmi play and during the intermission I told my then-boyfriend that I was interested to see how they handled her execution. He turned to me, eyes wide, and said, “Wait- she dies?!” To be fair, he was a computer engineering major who, according to him, had only seen “like 10 movies that weren’t Star Wars”. But still!

[@ebbablajeans]

The soundtrack is literally what made me fall in love with the movie in the first place. I managed to find it on vinyl💖💐

[@fabiofuoco]

You’re so lucky! This is my favorite soundtrack too to the point I go back to listen to it at least once a month! I’m obsessed with the combination of classical music and 80s indie rock like Adam and the Ants and The cure 💕

[@brandyloutherback9288]

These costumes are what the 2017 Beauty and the Beast costumes should've been! Correct period silhouettes with a liberal helping of whimsy and fantasy, Literally eye "candy"!

[@miamama9886]

well, correct period silhouettes costume does not quite express Belle's character well yet it's not going well with the movie production design to create interesting look for the movie to reflect the story itself. Belle is a "most peculiar mademoiselle", a woman that is ahead of her time, she needs to be contrast other women and the castle/the world around her, so the costume designed by Jacqueline Durran is just perfect.

[@silvergust]

@@miamama9886 pls be serious... it looked like a party city dress. even the 1991 version's dress was much prettier. something can have a modern twist while being pretty/aesthetically pleasing (it can even still have historical accuracy! u can buy something like belle's dress in spirit halloween stores 💀)

[@johanabi]

@@miamama9886he problem with the 2017 dress isn’t that it isn’t historically accurate (most people don’t expect this of disney movies, and the gp aren’t knowledgable about historical fashion trends by region and decade anyway). The problem is that it looked cheaply made, it was boring, and it didn’t fit well. Even though belle as a character had priorities outside of fashion, there are ways to represent this without a bad dress. Also, it wouldn’t be out of character for her to want to dress nicely for this dinner. Even if you look at her as a ~reader~ who is ~not like the other girls~ the books she’s reading are romances and fairytales- the fancy dress would fit neatly into that. (Edit: i dont think Romeo and Juliet is a romance, but the point still stands)

[@estadoagridulce]

the scene where she is running and the strokes plays in the background, *chef's kiss*.

[@angelicacortes898]

This is one of my favorite movies thanks to the costumes, the soundtrack and the general mood that Sofia gave to all the scenes. It feels like a dream world, but it's suffocating at the same time. Marie and her friends give it a fresh, fun, but also a sad vibe. I felt really connected with that movie when I was a teenager, and I can remember clearly how I felt back then whenever I watch it. Plus I love Avril 14 by Aphex Twin, and Opus 36 by Dustin O'Halloran, which I found through this movie.

[@marbles9176]

This movie is one of my favorites because it just captures what being a girlie girl feels like. Everything from the makeup to the cinematography, its so exquisite

[@jaynekranc8607]

Sorry to be late. They recommended it when I was touring Versailles, because it was actually filmed there.I loved it because they showed what a little girl she was when she was sent into that mess.

[@fernandao.5001]

I have never said this but I loved the ad. Amazing video as per ususal, Kirsten Dunst is so underrated it breaks my heart. When I hear from costume designer who make shitty costumes to cut corners and claim to have taken "artistic liberties" it truly baffles me. This movie has very inaccurate costumes for the time period but no shortcuts were taken and everything makes sense for the charcters and the vision for this film. Loved the video Mina

[@kelseyc203]

I remember loving this movie back in 9th grade when we were studying the French Revolution. I always thought Marie was treated unfairly and was misunderstood by the masses. I loved the way the movie incorporated a contemporary soundtrack into a period film as well, and, now, I am convinced I need to watch the movie again, since I haven't seen it in years. P.S.: I'd love to see a costume analysis of Rodger's & Hammerstein's Cinderella (the 1997 film). I think that would be a fun video.

[@benjaminramirez5703]

The soundtrack was so good and how the visuals aspects are so appealing giving the viewer what an art kid would expect for a Baroque scenario. I love the movie

I love this movie. The costumes are to die for and Marie Antoinette is one of my favorite historical figures.

The ribbon around the neck might also be a nod to women during & after the French Revolution wearing a red ribbon around their necks as an homage to the people killed at the guillotine

[@censoreverything8072]

I love that movie but I just can't stomach rewatching or or thinking on Marie Antoinette too long, because it just makes the think of the awful fates of her children and it just makes me so sad. It's a shame, because I think the movie is great, but the subject matter is really just so dark.

[@queensakura3890]

when you think about the fact louis and marie couldn’t produce an heir because they weren’t sure what they were doing it seems much more… innocent and normal. it almost makes you forget that everyone was watching and waiting for them to finally consummate their marriage.

[@kaseylisk5019]

The dress she wears for her wedding is supposed to be a Grand Habit, or a court dress, not a française. Also, her zone front dress matches with paintings and illustrations of dresses like the robe a la polonaise from the 1770s, so it wouldn't be out of place before 1774. The ribbon on the neck was actually a very popular acessory in the 18th century, you can find it in several paintings.

[@_dani.dlc_]

I love Marie Antoinette. She’s my favorite historical figure! There is nothing more fabulous than her

[@katwernery6505]

Another fun fact about how she had to completely transform herself when she went from Austria to France was that they changed her name, she was born Maria Antonia.

[@melodyclark1944]

But she was called Antonia since her sisters were all Maria

[@edsonmorales3431]

Omggg Mina this video was perfect ;__;!! You touched upon so many amazing points here, and I love how you communicated and broke down so many of the different styling choices. I also love that even as you pointed out the historical inaccuracies, you provided context for why they made those choices and how, in your opinion, they made sense for the overall narrative. I also love that you mentioned two points that I wish they had included in the film too: the scandal that broke out when Marie didn't wear her boned stays and how her wedding dress was too small. ALSO I LOVED YOUR OUTFIT!!! Amazing work!!

[@orpheus9037]

Big fan of Coppola's Marie Antoinette - its overall look may have been historically inaccurate, but the sensibility behind it was right on point. With the coronation of Louis the XVI and Marie, 20 and 19 respectively at the time, France was being run by teenagers with too much money and the French Court likely had the overall vibe of a High School: who's in, who's out, who's not talking to whomever (and who is talking to them), who wore what were, which parties to go to, etc etc. Coppola certainly got that part right.

[@ewoudzimmermanns8904]

i think history is giving her a hard time, she was just a shelter teenage girl with no consequences, everybody would do the same
