Charlotte Corday

[TommyJeanBoy]

I think the 2 women who were able to out wit the revolutionary court even though were killed were Charlotte Corday and Marie Antionette they showed those men how much of a coward they really were RIP to 2 amazing women of France

[ironhorzmn]

@KKKSuperFan I expected no less from a knuckle-dragging inbred sheet-hiding closeted chickenshit mouth-breather like you.

[tallperson605]

DAMMIT

why can't my parents let me take French class?!?!?

[Nogger86Germany]

you got to give it the french.. CURSING IN FRENCH IS AWESOME:

[cindyellajoy]

Though Charlotte Corday did the radical thing, I think she ought to be recognized as a hero. She certainly saved many lives by killing the 'radical Voltaire'.

[Yorgar]

@cindyellajoy actually she killed Jean-Paul Marat

[Floberovpapagaj]

Is this the woman who's head stayed 'alive' for a few moments after decapitation?

[cindyellajoy]

@Floberovpapagaj well, some accounts said yes, but doesn't really mean 'alive' it was only a physical reaction by the impact her head received when it fell on the floor. Well, at least that's what I've heard from my History teacher.

[banmen0w]

Psycho bitch

[ChristineScholz]

French is such a gorgeous language.

yeah ik thier talking about bad things in this but it sounded so cool!

i need to learn french!

[necroclerico]

viva Danton!

Viva la Rivoluzione!

[plutogirllovekj]

Charlotte Corday is one of my heroines. God bless her, she had the guts to stand up for justice, at a time when France was drowning in blood. She is with the angels now!! Sometimes it takes a woman to do what men will not! I hope Marat got a good look at this tough woman while he was getting his just deserts and choking on his own blood!!

[voldemort54]

@plutogirllovekj Hardly what a statesman would do. Her actions made Marat a martyr and put Robespierre in power of the Jacobins. Thus, one can argue that her actions caused the deaths of tens of thousands of Frenchmen. Contrast her actions with those of Washington, Adams, Jefferson, and Madison during the American Revolution. Corday had good intentions, like most Americans, but acted contrary to liberty. This is a fascinating story of human nature.

[squamish4244]

@voldemort54 One may also argue that the leaders of the American Revolution acted 'contrary to liberty' by rejecting the drastic British reduction in taxes as insufficient and drive them to strict measures that the leaders knew would enrage the populace. As for Corday's actions, the Jacobins had already seized control of France when Marat was killed and Robespierre was likewise already in a position of great power.  Marat's assassination was only one of many factors that led to the Terror.

[Pugwash81]

no sypathy for republicans, even if they condemmed the killing of Louis XVI. a good repulican is a dead one.

[Tsagia]

Is she the girl that played Marianne in Brotherhood of the Wolf?

[0371998]

Millencolin - Friends'til the end

Madame Charlotte Corday la Déesse cette Chançon est POur toi et tout les autreS qui te suivent!

[0371998]

Charlotte Corday  est une Déesse a vénérer comme jean D'Arc! oui oui presque!!!!!

[softballmary]

Is there any way to see this movie in the US? It looks pretty good, but I can't find it anywhere

[ProudKansan08]

@softballmary, try the libraries or Block Buster before they all become extinct. Don't know if there are any other video stores in existence anymore, since I ususally go to the library or Block Buster. At BB, look under the foreign movies. Those are my suggestions, and yes, this does look like a good movie. Had no idea a movie about Charlotte Corday even existed.

[TudorRose85]

I saloot Charlotte for killing that pig in his bath tub.

[LadySierraSays]

My French is very rusty , but I think she is going to be executed ?

[plutogirllovekj]

@LadySierraSays Umm...yes, she's going to be guillotined! This happened more than 217 years ago, really you don't have to guess, just pick up a good history book and voila!!!

[TINY2ACTIVE]

Poor Miss Corday. Wasting a great piece of ass and pussy like hers on the guillotine. Under different circumstance she and Marat would be having sex. Fate can be a bitch, too.

[ProudKansan08]

@TINY2ACTIVE, doubt it. Marat was said to have been way beyond ugly, and he was gross hygiene wise, on top of that. The only women that would have him weren't that high up on the food chain. From what I read about Charlotte, sex was the farthest thing from her mind.

[plutogirllovekj]

@TINY2ACTIVE Having sex with that disgusting psycopath?? The man was reprehensible to look at! Don't let Jacques Louis David's painting fool you, that's an idealized image. The real Marat would cause you to loose your lunch!! No wonder he was so bitter and blood thirsty, he probably couldn't get laid either by women or men!!

[Axellar8]

hi guma .. yes she sure is a stunner, how can you behead her ?? I have a nicer fate for her ...hehe .

[Rosiercentral]

This looks quite intriguing.

If only I knew French.

[napajedlacek]

well Jacobines were Masonic jewish bastards

[skeilak]

@napajedlacek

Asshole.

.

[napajedlacek]

not truth ?

[skeilak]

@napajedlacek

I'm sorry. Racist asshole.

[Dorianclock]

...Always thought Charlotte'd look more like Kelly Brook

[PvtFreddy]

Need to find a english subbed or dubbed version of this :)

[guma163]

The actress playing charlotte corday is an absolute stunner.

[Axellar8]

Most europeans are vile fascist faggotts !!

[Aluenvey]

Better than what we can say about you.

[Indigos8rboi]

fascist and faggot don't belong in the same sentence

[JYoung135]

I don't think you're even American

[MachtzuSC]

The Tri Colour is a Vile Fascist Rag!

Death to the French Revolution!

Long Live the American Revolution!

The French Revolution Provided the Ideological genesis for Fascism, Communism, Socialism, ALL Other Totalarian ideologies, Social engeneering, and all other opressive collectivist ideologies.

God Bless the Founding Father of the American Revolution, and Americas Greatist president Ronald Regan

DEO VINDICE!

SIC SEMPER TYRRANIS!

DEATH TO THE EURO FAGGOT IDEOLOGIES!

[JYoung135]

No, French Republicanism, by way of Jefferson, formed the basis for the ideals of the Antifederalists. And Reagan was hardly a founding father. He was two centuries off, and he was a washed up, second rate actor. You make my country look like a land of bigots, which we Americans are NOT!

[coilxcept]

Marat was a monster. This woman was a heroine for slaying him.

[zrtproductions]

I wonder if I could get a copy with English subtitles.

[peymaania]

These people look too clean and well groomed to be French.

[cciittrraa]

she killed marat!!!!

[soakchips]

She was an aristocrat and a traitor. Fuck her.

[Dorianclock]

Fuck you! Raisin dick faker, burn~

[zrtproductions]

She did what she thought was best for her country. She was just trying to save herself and the lives of her countrymen. Whose to say that any of us would not do the same at such an unsettling time?

[soakchips]

Most of "us" probably believe in democracy. The killings of Marat and Robespierre beheaded the democratic movement and made Napoleon's coup possible. Napoleon oversaw the reversal of all the gains of the French revolution: democratic representation, civil rights for women and minorities, the abolition of slavery, etc.

Corday was by no means an ordinary person, she was a disgruntled avenger of the vanquished reactionary class, like John Wilkes Booth - the assassin of Abraham Lincoln.

[zrtproductions]

Except Marat and Lincoln had two very big diffrences among themselves. Lincoln was elected. Marat forced his way into power with Violence and bloodshed.

[soakchips]

Marat was just as elected (as a Conventional deputy in 1792) as Lincoln.

Lincoln used just as much bloodshed to maintain republican capitalism as did Marat.

[coilxcept]

She was a Republican before the revolution. She saw Marat and anothers completely pervert the idea of a Republic. Unlike the others who stood by, she had the courage to sacrifice her life to destroy Marat. If only there'd been a Charlotte Corday in the times of Adolph Hitler, history might've been very different.

[soakchips]

John Wilkes Booth also styled himself a Republican, in the manner of Brutus. He also thought his target had "gone too far."

Comparing Marat to Hitler is absurd. Marat was a democratic figure who built his own reputation by campaigning for the interests of workers, farmers and merchants against the aristocracy. Hitler on the other hand was a servant of the aristocracy of his times; he was an insignificant rat whose Nazi Party was built and paid for by the German financial and industrial barons.

[MachtzuSC]

Marrat was Scum god bless Charlotte Corday

[pikewerfer]

Quite right - and there were "Charlotte Cordays" who tried to stop him. They were unfortunately not successful.

[callmehelmut]

pour une fois un excellent telelfilm!

[duhastrecht]

Viva European Hero Miss Charlotta Corday, Jeanne dArc nr.2!!!

[GreatGrumbledook]

Nay, duhastrecht, you can name her the female Brutus but Charlotte cannot live up to Jeanne! Her deeds and sentence are quite normal while the references given to Jeanne by the church is to be beyond any acceptable kind of human conduct: "the said woman is treacherous, cunning, cruel, athirst for the spilling of human blood, seditious, inciting to tyranny, and blasphemous of God in her commands and revelations." - So, without marshalling an army there is no part on her laurels for any women!

[ImperialGuard9001]

@duhastrecht SILENCE!

[bohemiastudios]

Jean Paul Marat (1743-93} Born Neuchatel, travelled, extensively in Britain, obtained a medical degree at St Andrews, active in politics, supporter of Wilkes. Journalist, "L'Ami du People" a denunciiation, of authority, called for a dictatorship of the people. September 1792, member of Vigilance Commitee, responsible, for Paris prisons. Jacobin conflict, with Girondins. 13 July 1793, murdered, in his bath by Charlotte Corday 25yrs aristocrat royalist. Viva Marat! le symbole de la Revolucion!

[GreatGrumbledook]

Charlotte's trial reminded me of something that Shaw said about Jeanne's trial: "From us she would have had no trial and no law except a Defence of The Realm Act suspending all law; and for judge she would have had, at best, a bothered major, and at worst a promoted advocate in ermine and scarlet to whom the scruples of a trained ecclesiastic like Cauchon would seem ridiculous and ungentlemanly." - Quite a bit shocking but the poet is right in this case...

[GreatGrumbledook]

I'm not sure about Charlotte Corday, maybe because she had become an anti-revolutionary symbol and an icon of obscurantism but she claimed to be a republican, so she might prove to be a true one by dispatching those misemploying the public consent to fan destruction, murder and oppression, just like Shakespeare's Brutus, who gave account to the people after slaying Caesar for being ambitious. It's hard to decide who was right: The Jacobins for being cruel or the moderate fraction for being soft?

[guma163]

Corday was supposedly a beauty, depending on which author of the french revolution you read.

I don't know about you all but this actress looks absolutely stunning! :)

[Aluenvey]

so maybe her beheading was sexually appealing to them at the time, poeple can

be crooks sometimes.

[otacs2]

superbe

[Esmena]

Is there anyway to get this filn while..not being french(het that's not my fault!:)?I love Charlotte Corday to death ..no pun intended..:)pretty please?

[lasaboteuse]

Is Adam Lux in this at all? (The German expatriate who basically committed suicide by guillotine for her.)

[aetius0451]

charlotte corday wasn't like this at all (nor physicaly, neither in her behaviour)

[lunatir]

this isnt the real charlotte corday

[hommechauvesouris]

Bravo FRANCE TELEVISION! Après les reportages de Stéphane Berne sur la pauvre Autrichienne et les rois. VOila qu'un téléfilm sur la pauvre Charlotte Corday. MAIS OU VA LA FRANCE?? On a fait la Révolution 3 fois pour rien? on chante la marseillaise, on brandit le drapeau tricolore, pour rien?

Le service public ferait comme le règime Sarkozy un retour en arrière sur des valeurs poussièreuse et infame. Comme sous le règime de vichy...

C'est insupportable! Suffit le revisionnisme!

[Damville]

Tu devrais faire attention à ce que tu dis, car tes propos sont très ridicules. Charlotte Corday est le symbole de la vertu républicaine et révolutionnaire. On ne peut que saluer France 2 d'avoir consacré un téléfilm à ce modèle de citoyenneté.

[hommechauvesouris]

Le symbole de la révolution?

Tu rigoles, c'est Marat l'ami du peuple, le tribun de la Révolution qui est un symbole, un martyre. La citoyenneté doit concordé avec les idées républicaines qu'a toujours defendus le citoyen Marat. Charlotte Corday venait de la faction girondine qui favorise le mouvement contre révolutionnaire.

Si on veut vraiment rendre hommage à la révolution sur le service public pourquoi ne pas prendre un martyre comme Marat, Viala, Leppeltier?

[Damville]

Par ses discours et ses actions, Marat entretenait lui-même le mouvement contre révolutionnaire. Malgré lui, certes. Mais comme les autres, il est responsable de la situation.

Quant aux Girondins, ce sont des révolutionnaires et des républicains comme les autres.

[hommechauvesouris]

Les girondins étaient des modérés, avident d'une monarchie parlementaire ou d'une République fédérale.En 1793 lors de la terreur ils étaient les ennemis, au memes titre que les royalistes et les étrangers, de la révolution. Ce sont des hommes comme Marat avec leur force et leur courage implacable qu'y ont sauvés la révolution et la République une et indivisble. Et je pense que l'on oublient trop l'importance du combat que la convention montagnarde et des patriotes pour la defence de la nation.

[Dorianclock]

THX for the reply, guess I'll give this a try, cheers Auxane

[Auxane]

Except very few exception, French public tv movies recently have been crap. Emilie Dequenne is a good Belgian actress but i doubt it could be good.

[CapaodaCanoa]

Je ne peux pas voir ce téléfilm...Je suis en Argentine. Je voudrais tellement le voir!!!

[callmehelmut]

il etait splendide ce film, emilie dequenne est superbe dedans

[ranema]

j'ai hate de le voir le film sniff j'ai pas la chaine france 3 ni 2
