I love this film! Depardieau is such a great actor! I agree it is very pro Danton, but its a point of view; that is one of the reasons the movie is called Danton.
The movie itself is very pro-Danton, but I always thought this scene was very pro-Robespierre. Robespierre, as opposed to Danton, is tactful, polite, restrains his temper, is trying to compromise with Danton. Danton is not showing any of the qualities of a good leader, is insulting Robespierre more-or-less non-stop, is trying to make it seem like Robespierre doesn't believe in his morals; Danton doesn't even try to dissuade him from any of the questioning accusations and pleas he brings up.
@LeoKat256 Yes, here Danton is pictured as a somewhat immature, romantic and slightly corrupt populist. While Robespierre as a true statesman perceives the gravity of the political situation in the young french republic and tries to strike a deal that perhaps would have satisfied the hawks in his committee. The question is of course if Danton has any real chance of convincing his peers to join Robespierre. I have no idea if it is historically correct, but these scenes are beautifully directed.

They made danton act like a clown. I hate Gerard. He ruined also the movie Count Monte Cristo.

Danton was certainly a glutton... haha.
I sympathize with both Danton and Maximilien. They were both great men in history of radical democracy!
Where would we be without French Revolution!
