Marie Marie: Luxury limits my imagination

After watching this movie, I have only one feeling: luxury limits my imagination. The Rococo era of France in the 18th century shown in the play can be said to be the most romantic country in history. It is full of luxury, glitz and emptiness. Every scene satisfies our young girls' hearts.

This film tells the life of a French queen and the luxurious and confusing life of the nobles before the French Revolution. Princess Mary of Austria was very smart and lively. When she was 14 years old, she changed from an Austrian princess to a French crown princess in a political marriage. For some reasons, the prince indulged Mary very much. After marriage, Mary lived an extremely luxurious life. Likewise, Mary was unable to completely escape from the loneliness in her heart. This movie brings us various shocks about the French court and society in the 18th century, incredible luxury, intertwined love, and finally the roar of the French people.

This movie won the Oscar for Best Costume Design and Best Makeup and Hairstyling. It vividly shows the dreamy age of Rococo time, which can be said to be extremely gorgeous. Everything you can see in the play can be said to be a serious reproduction of Rococo fashion classics: for example, towering hairstyles piled with wigs, hats decorated with feathers and artificial flowers, exquisite lace masks and classical folding fans... they are all. Portraits of aristocratic life of that era.

The drama was filmed in the Palace of Versailles. During the twelve weeks of filming, every Monday when the Palace of Versailles was closed to the public, the film crew was busy in the palace to recreate the most realistic scenes. The luxurious life of the royal family at that time.

After Mary moved into the French court, she began a luxurious and money-worshiping life. In 1780, Queen Mary purchased 170 dresses and 200 pairs of shoes. It cost 800,000 francs to repair the palace, and the queen's one-year annuity was spent overnight. It was really shocking. Under her influence, the entire royal family fell into a life of luxury and hedonism. The Palace of Versailles is filled with singing and dancing every day, and the lights are brightly lit all night, just like daytime.

In fact, Mary's life was also short. The royal family's excessive dissoluteness eventually put the country in crisis. The resentment between the people and the royal family triggered the outbreak of the French Revolution, and Mary was eventually guillotined.
