I don't understand much French but when she's talking with her girlfriends while milking that cow she's making joke about "Madame Etiquette" her nickname for the Countess De Noailles the head mistress of the court at Versailles who met her at the border btwn France & Austria upon her arrival to France. She was very strict and served as her etiquette instructor at Versailles. She seems to have joked "What if Madame Etiquette were milking cows ?" LOL
@TheAmericanEvita she says they should ask madame ettiquette to show them "la bonne facon" to milk a cow...in this case "la bonne facon" means "the proper way" according to court ettiquette...
It is the princesse de Lamballe, it is said the very faithful and true friend of Marie antoinette. She was lately brutally murdered becouse the people knew she was the Queen´s confidante.
ah it is lamballe, that was i said to me when i watch more of teh film , know who lamballe is, but i wasn't sure if it is lamballe or the polignac, because of that i asked ^^ but then, after i watch the scene before i knew that :) Anyway thanks that you wrote me :)
La Revolution Francaise was simultaneously shot in both French and English. The English version is extremely rare and not available on DVD. The great score by Georges Delerue is equally rare on CD, though released twice...
This looks like a fantastic movie, and Jane Seymour makes a great Marie Antoinette. What a shame it doesn't have English subtitles - to my shame, after seven years at school studying French I still can't understand much more than the basics of the language. Thanks for posting this!
but your english is very good, but my friend there is a english version of the French revolution here on youtube. If you search these words: The French revolution English. you will find it for sure. :)
Dear Chcany, The queen says basically this, "If Messr Necker, as you say, that opposisiton to the assembly would provoke violence, then the king should not aggrivate the situation and give in - FOR NOW. But then plan his piposte with FORCE." That sums it up.
She says, "Décidément, cet usage est barbare." English: "Obviously, this practice is barbaric." Then she goes on to say (I think), "I'm going to ask Madame Etiquette to show us the right way to milk." (or "a good way to milk"?)
Marie Antoinette did indeed involve herself in political affairs... When Louis XVI was sent off to Paris after July 12, she drafted 'legislation' that made her Regent in case he was killed. Also, Marie Antoinette was guilty of treason - though they did not have proof of this at her trial, however it is now proven (letters) that she was giving information to the Austrian forces. However her treason was against the new regime as she was trying to save the throne. So histrians can argue both sides
I'm inclined to say that she wasn't really betraying France, during all that correspondance she was basically begging for help to re establish the throne, it was more like a desperate attempt to save her life and that of the King. Their lives were literally at danger every day of the revolution.
I'm one of the historians who would agree with you, though others argue that she was indeed guilty of treason! As I see it (similar to you) she was only guilty of this crime towards the revolutionary order. Therefore, she was trying to preserve the royal order through her telling of army secrets. Hence helping to restore the "authentic" regime.
Oh yes ... when held 'captive' at the Tuileries Palace, Marie Antoinette wrote many letters to the Austrians which told of manouvers being planned by the French army. Louis would meet with his generals, get the details, later tell them to his wife who then conveyed them to her allies. Like I said, there was no evidence of this at her trial however, today these letters exist & can be seen/read in The Archives Nationales de France.

this seems like a really innacurate film, Marie did not meddle in politics and the royal couple ate in public.

But she wasn't really spilling army secrets if I recall correctly. Either way, her trial was nothing except a witch hunt.
