From the lively and naughty Austrian princess who likes to stay in bed, to the French queen who is bound by cumbersome rules; from the joy of being a new mother to the grief of losing a child; from the luxurious woman who is spoiled by her husband to the turbulent revolution The tide pushes the queen of the guillotine.
It is about Queen Mary, an Austrian princess who married Prince Louis XVI of France.
She has been pampered since she was a child and married at the age of 14. Her life has never been miserable, and even if she remodeled a farm after having a daughter, it was a far cry from a real peasant life.
The life of the palace is not real life, and the kind of brocade clothes and jade food that is sung every night is not down to earth. At the beginning, there was the king's favor, the envy of some, and the jealousy of others, but the lack of children made her mother very worried, worried about her status and the national security of Austria. That was her only trouble.
Soon after King Louis XV died, Louis XVI succeeded him smoothly, Marie became queen, and her two children took charge of France. Louis XVI was also a child, and Marie was only 18. Wake up and become queen. In fact, since the marriage, her husband's passion for hunting and research on locks has far surpassed that of Fengyue. No matter how hard Mary tried, she couldn't make the other party interested. Gradually, they became two people lying in bed with each other. Mary was eating snacks while listening to Louis XVI telling the story of the world's first lock.
At this time, the ladies of the royal family who had ridiculed her or were jealous of her, all bowed their heads and surrendered to her.
Because of the delay in pregnancy, various rumors and rumors spread in the court, coupled with the pressure exerted by Mary's mother, the young queen was on the verge of collapse. But in the end, under the persuasion of Mary's brother, Louis XVI ushered in the first little princess.
The scenes in the film about Queen Mary's life on the farm are particularly beautiful. This small farm is located to the northwest of the Petit Trianon gardens. The Petit Trianon was originally built by Louis XV for his mistress Madame de Pompadour. But after the palace was completed, Madame de Pompadour had died, so Louis XVI accepted it and gave it to Queen Mary. The queen who followed the trend, influenced by the noble circle, decided to build a small farm in the garden. Live the life of a peasant woman.
She put on a comfortable white dress, lay lazily among the flowers and plants, the butterfly danced low, and the little princess ran towards her crookedly. She invited the sisters to taste homemade milk tea, and sat around on the grass to read books and listen to music. He even had a tryst with his lover on the farm, and after the lingering sorrow, he watched him ride away on horseback. She did not ask about military affairs and lived an idyllic and poetic life.
Her luxury propelled her to the cusp of revolution. Perhaps it was fate that deliberately played tricks and was charged with unwarranted charges, and the queen's image in the hearts of the people has long since collapsed. Because of her extravagance, the resentment of the masses is increasing day by day. Even incited the riots of the French Revolution. The most famous is the "Necklace Incident". At that time, Louis XV made a luxurious diamond necklace for his mistress Madame du Barry. However, before the necklace was completed, Louis XV died of smallpox, and Du Barry was exiled from the palace. So the jeweler sold the diamond necklace to Queen Mary, but they were all rejected. Unexpectedly, a royal concubine took the jewelry in the name of the queen and removed the diamonds to sell separately. It wasn't until the jeweler asked the queen to pay that she realized she had been deceived.
At this time, the great revolution was on the verge of breaking out, and no one cared whether the queen was wronged or not. The angry people would rather believe that the queen is arrogant and extravagant, and even if the state budget is short of money, she has to buy jewelry at high prices. In this way, people's emotions can be agitated and the fire of the revolution can be fueled. Even her criticized sentence "if there is no bread, then why don't they eat cake", many historians have shown that Queen Mary did not say this sentence, but made up for the public to vent their anger.
From one royal family to another, she has always been a person who is loved by thousands of people. She was trapped in the palace all her life and did not understand the sufferings of the world. In the face of the mission entrusted to her by history and the country, she is undoubtedly remiss. But when you think about it carefully, gorgeous clothes and beautiful things are her only pastime, a tool for her to pass the long and boring life.
