Marie Antoinette: The Last Queen of France (part12/12)

Her name is synonymous with the French monarchy and all its excesses, but there is more to the story of Marie Antoinette than the simple tale of how a frivolous sovereign helped provoke the uprising that became the French Revolution. Acclaimed documentary filmmaker David Grubin paints a surprising portrait of a courageous figure and traces her journey from the splendors of a childhood in the mighty Austro-Hungarian Empire to a French guillotine.

She didn't even stand a chance given her (un)education in politics and on how to run a country, as well as the current state of France which system was more than outdated by the time Marie Antoinette and Louis XVI started ruling. We are all products of our upbringing and environment, so were they; couldn't even shed their noble way of thinking even when they had to get away to save their lives, how could they have change their way of thinking to save the people?

@pedowife4kids Actually, you in France do not have real free speech. For example, Holocaust denial is a crime, possession of certain literature is illegal, etc... Free speech, as it is practiced in the U.S.A. is almost exclusive to us and your free speech in France is abridged.

Its funny, the guillotine they show was not the revolutionary guillotine but rather the Berger guillotine which came out almost 30 years later.
