Look at it only the French Revolution itself is worth studying

The characters in the film are all hysterical when they talk, and they talk endlessly, especially dull, and they do not show the magnificent and terrifying era. Dandong has a certain personality, but because the director's control is not enough, this personality is diluted by too much talk, making heroes not heroes, monsters not monsters, and scholars not scholars. And Robespierre, not like a tyrant, many behaviors are quite inexplicable and illogical.
It is worth mentioning that the arrangement of the child at the beginning and the end is very meaningful.

Danton quotes

  • Danton: I thought I could put a brake to this storm of Revolution. I thought it advisable and I still do. But in the cold eyes, I have already read my death. You decided that before entering this room. I wonder: Was I wrong? Other men disagree with me. Their idealism knows no bounds. They no longer see men around them but only speculators, villains and traitors. In the name of revolutionary principles, they have forgotten the Revolution! They've established a new dictatorship worse than the old. Fearing the return of tyrants, they've become tyrants themselves!

  • Danton: The people have only one dangerous enemy: the government!
