	Marie Antoinette Online (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Marie Antoinette was the beautiful Queen of France who became a symbol for the wanton extravagance of the 18th century monarchy, and was stripped of her riches and finery, imprisoned and beheaded by her own subjects during the French Revolution that began in 1789.
		The life of Marie Antoinette was the stuff of dreams when she was married at age 15 to the crown prince of France, the dauphin.
		After her final ordeal, the body of Marie Antoinette was harshly pushed on to the guillotine plank, her head placed in the vice and at noon the blade fell to loud cheers all round.

	Marie Antoinette
		Marie Antoinette, Queen of France, ninth child of Maria Theresa and the Emperor Francis I, was born at Vienna, on the 2nd of November 1755.
		Marie Antoinette soon won the affection and confidence of the dauphin and endeared herself to the king, but her position was precarious, and both Mercy and Maria Theresa had continually to urge her to conquer her violent dislike for the favorite and try to conciliate her.
		The year 1789 was one of disaster for Marie Antoinette; on the 10th of March her brother Joseph II died, and on the 4th of June her eldest son.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Marie Antoinette
		The marriage of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette was one of the last acts of Choiseul's policy (see CHOISEUL); but the Dauphiness from the first shared the unpopularity attaching to the Franco-Austrian alliance.
		Marie Antoinette's disdain of Madame du Barry, the mistress of Louis XV, was perhaps, from a political standpoint, a mistake, but it is an honourable evidence of the high character and self-respect of the Dauphiness.
		In truth, it was to the interest of France not to permit the indefinite growth of the Prussian power; but the routine diplomats, believing that Austria was to be forever the enemy of France, and the philosophers, who were favourably disposed towards Prussia, as a Protestant nation, abhorred any display of sympathy for Austria.

	The Chronicle: 9/22/2006: In Our Hall of Mirrors, a Queen Looms Large
		For the past two centuries, views of Marie Antoinette have been sharply polarized: She was either a saint and martyr or a monster and Messalina (one of the many scathing sobriquets flung at her in her lifetime).
		Marie Antoinette's role as a hapless intermediary between competing European superpowers is well portrayed, as is her empress mother's domineering intrusion from afar and her young husband's endless public humiliations.
		Weber surveys Marie Antoinette's controversial patronage of commercial stylists and her extravagant "pouf" hairdos, bejeweled ball gowns, Renaissance masquerade costumes, and daring masculine riding habits, followed by her shift to rural straw hats and simple muslin and prints, which nearly bankrupted the French silk industry.

	Marie Antoinette
		Marie Antoinette was frivolous and very ignorant of the poverty of the people, but she did not say "Let them eat cake"----Rousseau had actually recorded that of a Greek Princess in 1751, four years before Marie Antoinette's birth.
		Marie Antoinette's true character became more apparent after the birth of her three children and especially after the Revolution, where she showed herself to be a proud and courageous woman, but a woman stubbornly refusing to accept that times had changed for the monarchy.
		In the eve of the Revolution, Marie Antoinette's credibility was further undermined by the ridiculous scandal of the Diamond Necklace affair in which Jeanne leMott and her husband, with the ignorant help of Cardinal Rohan, purchased a $15 million livre necklace in the Queen's name leaving her with the bill...and the blame.

	Marie Antoinette
		Marie Antoinette was born Maria Antonia Josepha Johanna on November 2, 1755 in Vienna, Austria, the daughter of powerful Maria Theresa.
		On October 14, 1793, she stood before the tribunal, the medieval court that would judge her, and even though she knew what the verdict would be, that she too would die by the blade of the guillotine, she was able to stand her ground and demonstrate her tremendous inner strength and seriousness.
		Marie Antoinette didn't really do anything material that would make her one of the 100 most important women of history, although she did greatly influence the art of the era.

	PIXELSURGEON \| Reviews \| Movies \| Marie Antoinette
		Marie Antoinette was actually started before Lost in Translation, but the success of the latter reinvigorated the project, which was inspired by the autobiography of the Austrian archduchess by Antonia Fraser.
		Fraser created a very human portrait of Marie Antoinette, who was a teenager when she married Louis XVI of France, and confounded the usual portrayal of the woman who allegedly exclaimed that the starving population of France should eat cake when told that they had no bread.
		Marie Antoinette, with its bubblegum pink and pistachio green palette, is a brave, flawed film, but one that demonstrates that the period drama can be revamped for a modern audience, even if the total is sadly not greater than the sum of its parts.

	A QUEEN FOR THE MODERN AGE? / The fascinating Marie Antoinette
		All of the above are indebted in varying degrees to Lady Antonia Fraser's beautifully crafted 2001 biography, "Marie Antoinette: The Journey." Coppola's interest was sparked by the abridged English translation (released in 2000) of a massive 1991 biography of Marie Antoinette by French historian Evelyne Lever.
		For two centuries, views of Marie Antoinette have been sharply polarized: She was either a saint and martyr or a monster and a Messalina (one of the many scathing sobriquets flung at her in her lifetime).
		Fashion flash was practiced instead by the kings' semiofficial mistresses -- a role that Weber demonstrates was borrowed by Marie Antoinette (whose husband had no mistress) and that eventually compromised her reputation and made it easier for scurrilous pamphleteers to caricature her as a whore.

	Antoinette - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Antoinette was a short-lived French automobile manufactured by a builder of airplanes and aircraft engines between 1906 and 1908.
		The company, based in Puteaux, showed a car with a 32hp V-8 engine and hydraulic clutches instead of a gearbox and differential at the 1906 Paris Salon; the next year, a 16hp four and a 30hp V-8 were also offered.
		In 1906, a 50 hp Antoinette engine powered the first airplane to take off under its own power without a catapault such as the Wright Brothers had used.

		Mild comedy ensues from the presence of a large retinue, led by a bishop, presiding over Marie Antoinette and young Louis (Jason Schwartzman) bedding down on their wedding night, and persists in its scrutiny of the continued, and increasingly worrisome, failure by the teenage couple to consummate their marriage.
		This is not forthcoming, so one must be content with watching the lovely, perfectly cast Dunst adroitly making her way through a succession of scenes in which not much more is asked of her than to effortlessly hold center screen for two hours — a task she handles as if it were second nature.
		Dunst's Marie Antoinette reacts to the pressures of the court as if nothing all that significant were at stake and, later, adapts gracefully to the role of mother and queen, with time out for some fun at balls and the theater and a dalliance (historically questionable) with a Swedish count.

		All eyes will be on you." It is a warning Marie Antoinette's mind does not fathom because she is, after all, only a child when she is forced to leave friends, a cute little pug, and all of Austria behind to enter the court of Louis XV.
		I plead guilty to holding Coppola's soundtrack against Marie Antoinette, sight unseen, but now I have seen the light and it is as lucid as the rising sun Marie Antoinette takes in after a long birthday celebration, on a dawn that is noisy with the sound of friendly chatter and the clink of champagne glasses.
		Smart and playful, the songs of Marie Antoinette illuminate the intricacies of a discouraged young woman's state of mind and being, from the horror of her initiation into a foreign world ("Jynweythek Ylow") to her thirst for material possessions ("I Want Candy").
