I liked the one with Kirsten Dunst about Marie Antoinette. It paints her as a victim, which she absolutely was not (at least entirely), but it also shows how fucked up the French monarchs were and how they really had it coming. It’s a lib movie but I found it entertaining.
But yeah, we are generally not allowed to imagine successful revolutions or things actually changing (unless the revolutions/changes are being led by slaveowners).
She was not even a little bit a victim. She was literally the political leader of the faction of government opposing the King from the Right. She was the French Revolutionary equivalent of the Black Hundreds.
The Sofia Copola movie is about how actually the ennui of rich white ladies is horror like none other, like 50% of Sofia Copolas works.
