[hello6799]

to be honest not historically accurate..but a good laugh after watching hours of documentaries! just a few mistakes that i could pick up on... King Louis was never vastly popular, generally hated and made fun of. The enlightened thinkers were not philosophers! they were known as the 'philosophes' similar name totally different meaning! they were men of ration and reason. Also you might want to check out our dates :) nice acting though!

[LibertyAndLove1776]

Have people become too complacent with modern living? Have people forgotten the tyranny of subjugation to a king? Have people forgotten the horrors of slavery? Will they wake up before it is too late?

AMAZING ACTING BRAVO BRAVO FROW!

[zuma14cy]

we study it at school! interesting...

[Shamrock2612]

bravo guys, good job

[felixq78]

Not only a pathetically lame presentation but also factually and historically erroneous.

Storming of the Bastille was not on July 11 it was July 14. This whole presentation is a crock of shit. The French revolutionaries should be honoured not insulted by this joke. No imagination, no passion the whole thing is lame.

[azncute90]

this is totally helping me for mi finals tomorrow =D

[Ahlam96]

Great!

I have an History exam tomorrow and now I feel so much more confident....

BTW, the storming of the Bastille was on 14 July 1789 not the 11th

[aichizu]

the eyeballs were sooooo funny

[m13a1r18k11]

This helped me a lot. Even though the act was sort of weird, the important stuffs are still there...

[satyros1988]

you guys are such sweet kids

you make me wana be a father

this is like children theater

[jamboliboli]

Why does everyone who commented here have terrible grammar? just a thought. It was called 'The Declaration Of The Rights Of Man and Citizen' not that universal mumbo jumbo you say it is called, have any of you actually read anything about the revolution? haha.

Without the French revolution (influenced by the Americans' before them), there won't been revolutions of the 19th century (1848), national revolutions of Italy and Germany, the Russian revolutions of 1905 and 1917, the Chinese revolution against the Manchu dynasty in 1911, the Mexican revolution in the 1910's and the rise (and fall) of Communism based on leftist anti-elite (proletiarat) views of revolution to change the social, political and economic systems.+

[Witchout]

Without the French revolution (influenced by the freemasons), there won't been Napoleonic wars, WW1, WW2, Cold War, Gulags and Laogaïs, and Globalism.

[somethingboring]

Well, don't forget the Dutch revolt, which proved that Monarchy could, and should be deposed of when failing to rule effectively.

[devulboy1]

Being a revolution it is (as many critics claim the French revolution was violent), there would be riots, rebellions and revenge killings. Same would apply for the American revolution to an extent, but the French revolution is an important historical event for Europe and Western civilization, later to influence the world for the next 220 years. My father is French but I live in the U.S. and I'm familiar on the stories of peasantry counter-revolts against the French Republic such as the Vendee. +

[Pat2656]

haha 3 guys in an empty tennis court :

"WE SHALL NOT STOP TILL WE HAVE A CONSTITUTION!"

I don;t know why but its so funny.

Great job. this has been great for studying for my history exam.

[thecajuncutthroat]

A very anglo-saxon's description of French Revolution (bloody,bloody,bloody...lol)

You just forget to cite only one time "the DECLARATION OF THE UNIVERSAL HUMAN RIGHTS" wrote in 1789 and based on the french philosophers works...

[InMedioStatVirtus]

Monarchy= god, religion

French culture= reason, rationalism. France got rid of its monarchy as a result of this evolution in the classical age.

Classicism= imitation of the ancient art.

France is the country of classicism.

[wafflsz]

Major points off for perpetuating the myth that Marie Antoinette said, "Let the eat cake".

[freshmintburst]

Agreed.

[archchrissy]

Marie Antoinette never said "let them eat cake".

[essiemaylovescookies]

@archchrissy um,yeah she did

[AleksandrBarislav]

Napoléon eu dit "le plus grand crime de la révolution française fut l'exécution de la reine.", tuer Marie-Antoinette ne fut effectivement pas une bonne chose, mais la révolution était nécessaire pour l'avenir de la France et des Français

[Xawsyt]

Great job, Never forget the past. :-)

[DemonLegions]

We need a new revolution in all western societies. 9/11 was an inisde job!

[freshmintburst]

shut the fuck up stupid american. no one gives a shit how many americans die. so just stfu.

[nambourienne]

France is the most visited country in the world, France is the country of culture ,gastronomie , arts , wine etc etc etc etc , i m so proud to be french ( i can speak several languages ) infortunatly its not the case of arrogants americans , stupids americans , obese americans , dangerous americans , im so sad to see mc donalds in my beautiful france.

Vive la France !!!!!le plus beau pays du monde

[yt7734533]

and you guys did it right slaughtering the royalty

[stesimbrotus]

Exactly, and in addition celebrating with pomp the most shameful day - storming of Bastille or day of so called federation, i.e. "successful ending of revolution as the national hollyday, in addition providing the pattern of political terror and genocide to the 19 and 20th centuries!!! If I were French in now days I would be ashamed as the last creep and be silent from the shame.

[InMedioStatVirtus]

14 of july is not the celebration of MA's death! Your vision about France history is too conceptual & abstract. Classicism in the 18th & 19th was ruling in France as a form of art inspired by antiquity, it aimed at teaching reason to the people. In this rational times France changed for ever, got rid of its monarchy & entered into the Empire era, the legacy of the Greco-roman culture.

[stesimbrotus]

Excuse me, but who says, 08 14 is celebration of anyone's death in particular?! See supra (formally it is called "Day of Federation"). Secondly, I agree, fate of France was changed (unfortunately not only of France, otherwise I would not concern) to worst: to shameless slander, murder, pragmatism $ opportunities in politics $ diplomacy to unspeakable idiots. That was the outcome of "successful" end of Revolution which was announced as the national day of France in seventies of the 19th century.

[stesimbrotus]

Thirdly, what then that not only imperial epoch of the illegitimate & scoundrel Napoleon with whom even Stalin & Hitler together were winged angels, but also republican ideas were based on the classical, particularly Roman patterns? Does that make Robespierre, or Napoleon less criminals? Who performed First Genocide in Vendee, who founded political terror, who killed duc d'Enghien for nothing? Let us look Robespierre:

[stesimbrotus]

la terreur, sans laquelle la vertu est impuissante. La terreur n'est autre chose que la justice prompte, sévère, inflexible ; elle est donc une émanation de la vertu ; elle est moins un principe particulier, qu'une conséquence du principe général de la démocratie, appliqué aux plus pressans besoins de la patrie.

02 05 94 speech delivered in convention.

Western liberal-democracy claiming unconditional protection of life & property, arranges $ celebrates massacre of clergy, king and aristocracy

[stesimbrotus]

then adopts law (in 1905!!!) robbing Church from any real estate, then supports murderers in 1937 Spain & in addition hypocritically teaches whole world tolerance, human rights etc. Unfortunately Western tolerance concerns only sexual & ethnic minorities but when matter concerns anointed king, aristocracy & clergy you are ready to accept any genocide, any terrorism, any farcical judgment of King & in addition celebrate it with disgusting pomp & despicable demagogy.

[morganspice]

"arrogants" americans, "stupids" americans.

LOL. Go back to English class, Pierre.

Obese, um have you seen Gerrard Depardieu?

[samsunus]

I hate the french too, they're one of the motherfuckers of this earth...

[MUSLIMBOYA]

I HATE THE FRENCH FAGS, USA USA!!

[lina881]

Why are we fags ?

[morganspice]

Yeah, why are you?

[DisidenciaTricolor]

haha typical yank.

Go eat a burger and shut up.

[herpunkgrrl]

Not all americans are that ignorant.

[ckstarlet]

kill the king and the queen was unnecessary....

[Brightstar27]

I think I would have been a moderate individual vouching for a constitutional monarchy - like Britain has today.

[roflroflrofl11]

vive la monarchy

[roflroflrofl11]

In Godes vrees te leven

daarom ben ik verdreven,

Maar God zal mij regeren

[PurePerfection]

Ever since the Revolution, France has failed to be the number one power in the world. France has failed to be respected, and most of all, France has failed to provide any notable leaders other than De Gaulle and Napoleon. Napoleon, might I add, was a monarch, not a Republican. The Bourbon, Valois and Capet's had all served France faithfully and successfully for years, and they get no credit, none of them except the over-rated Louis XIV. I am a Francophile, but France was best under a monarchy.

[houmanrm]

The only fact of separating church and state made it worth it.

[legorret1]

Vive le Roy !

[FluffySesshyGirl]

thx

[ANILKIRAL]

my teacher show me this video at the school it was very nice im watching it again

[carolinarm7]

can you tell me the name of the last song, and the one in marie execution please!!

[carolinarm7]

awesomee!!!!!

[tamchi123]

when is the new part coming out?

[roygbiv330]

03:39-03:48 sounded like "and in 1778, france declared war against the british and supported america. this startled louis only to increase the nation deficit." this part was instructive to me.

[danielkeenan17]

very well done! great effort guys!

[z777z]

The French revolution was caused by illuminati bankers,Napoleon lost his nutty wars and sent France bankrupt,(what sort of hero is this)

The illuminati caused ww1,ww2 and communism,the illuminati also have caused mass immigtration and the Iraq war and destroy poor countrys

divide and rule is how illuminati savages work,they are evil

Very clever ending... good job guys & gals!

[SnowkoFilms]

wow that was an awe inspiring movie of resistance against the establishment. You have moved me to new emotions.

[Karenjade]

Just one small nitpick; Marie Antoinette never said "If they have no bread, then let them eat cake!" ("S'ils n'ont plus de pain, qu'ils mangent de la brioche.") There is no evidence that this phrase was ever uttered by Marie Antoinette. When Marie Antoinette actually heard about the bread shortage she wrote, "It is quite certain that in seeing the people who treat us so well despite their own misfortune, we are more obliged than ever to work hard for their happiness..."

[occisMORT]

i don't agree with few things, for instance "the decade" last only until 1794 with the end of 'la Terreur' & the death of the ultra-idealist Robespierre who led it...

after that the country was released from civil war threads - but was still at war against all the monarchies around it (which was moreover the cause of the Terror)

[stesimbrotus]

You do not agree in vain, because war was declared by France not by Austria of Prussia.

[occisMORT]

seems utubers r not really interested in history, except when american or from highly sensible places in the world (macedonia, cyprus, palestine, etc.)

congrats anyway, you're very well documented!

but...
