From the movie: Tous les matins du monde

Some Info: Jean-Baptiste Lully (1632-1687) Italian-born composer (French nationality from 1681). Entered service of Louis XIV 1653, composed instrumental music for the court ballets. From 1664 collaborated with Molière in series of comedy-ballets which were forerunners of French opera, the last and most famous being Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme, in which Lully danced role of the Mufti. Having assimilated both Italian and French styles and tastes, from 1673 he turned to opera composition and obtained from the King exclusive rights to arrange operatic performances in Paris. His death was caused by a gangrenous abscess which formed in his foot after he struck it with the long staff he used for beating time on the floor while conducting a Te Deum to celebrate Louis XIV's recovery from illness.

  • @arecccccc En disant de tels propos, tu fais honte à ta race, et quoi que tu dises, tu pourras jamais empêcher personne d'être fier de son pays alors je te dis un grand et fort VIVE LA FRANCE car que tu le veuilles ou non il faudra toujours compter à ses côtés!!!!

    Ps: Change de pays dans ton pseudo car pour quelqu'un qui n'aime pas la France et l'insulte, tu te ridiculises encore plus, aller va en paix ;-)

  • @CptFoupoudav

    You are right. English was some kind of folkloric, plain&basic language before they adopted the French vocabulary in Norman times. Already, thats why the 12th century English is totally unintelligible for today`s English speakers.

    Americans? they adopted English as their official language by votes in their senate. English has been adopted as an official language by only few more votes otherwise they were going to speak German today :)

  • @arecccccc Et j'ajouterais que l'anglais est composé à 30-40% de Français, mais encore une fois, c'est dure de s'instruire quand on est américain, entre Mcdo et la télévision il y a pas grand choses :(

  • @arecccccc "I am American" D'accords, et après tu te permets de parler de la culture de la France ? C'est une plaisanterie j'espère ?

    Quoi qu'il en soit jeune étron tu prouve encore et toujours au monde entier combien les américains (et les anglais pour englober) sont ignorant, débile, et arrogant, oui oui arrogant, vous nous avez piqué ce trait de caractère il y à fort longtemps.

    Maintenant va cracher ta merde ailleurs, personne ne vous apprécie.

  • @arecccccc

    It was more like curiosity&envy but ofc humiliation too.In 17th century, France and Turkey was the biggest allies because Turkey was the sole power who might possibly destroy German Hapsburg empire.Ottoman army, their military music band and their red clothes was some kind of inspiration for European&French intellectuals for creating red colored French army suits and writing the very first French military marches. Read wikipedia article "Turquerie"

  • Otherwise "Tous les matins du monde" is an excellent film. The main weakness is in one or two shots where Jean-Pierre Marielle, as monsieur de Sainte-Colombe, is miming as a viol player - but that's not obvious to everyone. I also enjoyed the novel.

  • Unusually for a clip showing (pre-) classical music being performed in a motion picture I'm picking up a lot of unnecessary rudeness in this blog. I really don't care where anybody is from or where they were educated, but I hope that none of you behaves like this in real life. [Before you correct my English grammar I must point out that "none", as a contraction of "not one", is a singular noun.]

    

  • @CptFoupoudav your barbaric french language please use for your mom, who probably currently works in UK as french prostitute

  • @irateofwatford I am American, but born and educated in Europe, you idiot

  • @Akatosh86 who else was "french" chopin? marie curie?, mazarini? Maria antoinetta...?
