The main characters in this film are Madame Campan and Madame Polignac.
Madam Campan was the maidservant next to the daughters of Louis XV when she first started. When Mary was in the time of the princess, because she loved her tenderness and beauty, she asked Mrs. Campang from the old princess to accompany herself exclusively.
In the beginning, Madame Campan was the second maid after Madame Noyailay, and later she was the only one. She can be said to be loyal to Queen Mary. After the death of the queen, Madame Campan spent the rest of her life in memory of her, and wrote the "Memories of Madame Campan," which is widely cited by scholars who have studied the French Revolution.
Mrs. Polinek, readers who have read the comic book "The Rose of Versailles" by Riyoko Ikeda, must have felt that this woman has worked schemingly and used the power of the queen to gain improper benefits for the family. The benefits were indeed inappropriate, and she was not wronged at this point, but it was really wrong to say that Polinekov was artificially scheming. She was a rare careless woman in the Palace of Versailles. Satisfied with comfortable enjoyment and lover's love, ignorantly used by her husband's family.
But speaking of this lady's feelings for Queen Mary, I think her friendship is indeed sincere. She left Versailles because of her family's persecution. She once weakly protested that she wanted to stay with the queen. As a result, this protest failed because of her cowardly and gentle character. However, the queen urged her to leave, saying that if she saw her best friend hurt, she would not feel at ease anyway.
Later, Mrs. Polinek fled to Austria and died of illness in 1793, the year the queen was beheaded. According to the memories of people around her, she regretted herself for betraying the queen for the rest of her life.
The epitaph of Madame Polignec reads a line like this: "Death of sorrow."
Finally, I want to talk about the wife of Prince Lambard .
This lady should be my favorite among the few best friends around Queen Mary.
She was originally born not high, but because she was married well, she became the wife of the prince. According to French court etiquette regulations, women who can pass shirts to the queen when she gets up must be of the level of the prince’s wife, so Madame Lambal also went to the queen’s side, when Mary was still the prince. She appeared at the court of Versailles, and once aroused dissatisfaction among the nobles, because her maiden status was not high. In any case, Mrs. Lambard was indeed a topical figure in France at the time. She was famous for her dressing and was at the forefront of fashion. In the pamphlets of Parisian fashion, her portrait is often used as a solicitation, and her fame can be imagined.
Madame Lambert also took the gentle route (the three best friends are all gentle). Although Madame Polignac came from behind, Madame Lambert has always been a person whom Mary deeply trusts.
If there is anything about Madame Lambert that attracts me, it should be her determination and bravery. The strong wind knows the strong grass, which is especially prominent when the revolution breaks out. Madame Lambert was the first group of nobles to escape from France. She fled to England and can be said to be out of danger. But she finally decided to return to France, and her family members dissuaded her, saying that France has been messed up to the point where no one can be protected for personal safety. Mrs. Lambert replied that she could not leave her friends alone. So she went back and was caught by the Bao people. Those people forced her to swear against the king and queen, and support the revolution, or they would kill her. With the spear shining in front of her eyes, the always gentle woman sternly reprimanded: "Drink! You shameless people!" The people killed her and picked her head on the tip of the spear to show Queen Mary... …According to the biography of Zweig, the queen should have seen it.
In any case, Mrs. Lambard, Queen Mary's most loyal girlfriend, has proved her friendship with her with her life.
Just write something.
The filming angle of this film is good: an ordinary maid, who has witnessed the collapse of her idol.
However, in order to highlight this collapse, Queen Mary and Madame Polignac were portrayed very rigidly and distortedly. This is a small regret.
In fact, Queen Mary’s friends are really many. In addition to the above three, there is also Axel von Fessen-he is the queen’s lover and risked his life to plan the queen’s escape. Later, the queen was imprisoned and he Also escaped the heavy guards and went to see her in jail.
I believe in the same spirit: what a person's best friends are like, he is what kind of person, otherwise it is impossible to attract these friends. When the Queen Xuanhe, there were certainly a large group of people who followed her, but when she lost her power, all the friends who remained by her side all expressed their loyalty to their friends with their actions.
All this has nothing to do with foolish loyalty.
