Thanks for the upload. I have researched Marie Antoinette endlessly. You have done a great job with the music and the editing of the film. She was only15 when she was forced into the arranged marriage to the future king of France. She knew nothing and the French hated her from the beginning as she was from the Hapsburg empire; a princess of Empress Marie Therese. Her life was not her own.

Good or evil - there will never be agreement on this, but one fact is undisputable: Marie Antoinette died as a Queen - silent, strong, and with incredible dignity. There is not one, single historical document that has ever even attempted to dispute that - not even from Robespierre's own clan of barbarians. This woman went to her death with perfect poise and sublime self-control. Even those who hated her, had to acknowledge that. Love or hate her as you please, but respect the courage she showed in her last days - it is more than 99.99% of us could ever hope to achieve. RIP, Marie Antoinette.

Nicely done! It hurts to see this,as the french decended into an orgy of bloodbath killing thousands of people and women as well! Poor Marie Antoinette didn't deserve this ending as well as all the others.As a person of french decent and ancestry I'm totally discussed with this part of our history.I lost many of my ancestors and blood to this period in history,it's amazing that any of them survived and left in time,I feel for those that never believed this could or would happen.RIP😒

I know that she was not the best queen she could have been and spent too much money in jewelry, clothes, hairstyling etc. , but I still think she was just too young to be a queen, she was only a teenager and you know she just wanted to look attractive like any other woman of her age. It still saddens me how old and ugly she looked after all those years of the suffering, I mean her husband dead, deprived from her children and locked in a cell!! Maybe she would've been a better queen if she had a more mature age and better experience.

This is really and truly lovely. I am very sorry for Marie...she was not a bad woman. Just young and put in a bad spot. Thank you for making this.

Personally, I think Queen Marie Antoinette didn't deserve to be executed. Her husband Louis XVI had the real power, so it really wasn't her fault, although she shouldn't have been so careless about spending. And Louis wasn't a bad person either, he just wasn't a great ruler. By all acounts, she was a lovely, beautiful and charming woman, and I admire her. It might have been a long time ago, but it's still sad how it all ended. May both she and her husband rest in peace.

"I know time still exist" best quote ever.

I am French and I think that in their majority, the French find that the executions of the king and the queen were regrettable. The return of the brother of Louis XVI in 1815, after Napoleon, King (Louis XVIII) is also interpreted, already at that time, as the expression of a regret. It is generally considered that Louis XVI was a good man, intelligent, close to his people, but a mediocre politician. Marie Antoinette is considered a victim and rather sympathetic. This period was crazy and the excesses of this revolution deeply affected the following generations.

A sad ending for a beautiful lady, GOD keep her soul safe.

It's was brutal 'entertainment' & the way they treated the young prince was even worse, all for nothing too, France went full circle, by 1815 it was like the revolution never happened

Marie-Antoinette is my idol. What a woman. 100% noble. 100% human. No one can judge another human being. We are all the children of God and He will be our judge. I do not think it is fair or just to create "freedom" by forcing others to step aside. It does not matter if they are rich or not. It is up to your self to make a change within yourself and be kind to others. Don't judge, Jesus would never do that

The actress is Ute Lemper. This is by far the best portrayal of Marie Antoinette ever filmed - it is based on Andre' Castelot's book and in French.

What do any of you think she would have been able to do? Many years ago, living in a gay commune in UK, the radical element amongst them were always spouting some rubbish about "we the people ' and "what we are entitled to.." etc. Most of them -including me-had not paid any taxes and expected the state to house, clothe and feed us. But as the same time most of them wanted to live a decadent life style, full of fancy dress, good food and good times(with pot and acid available to accentuate the experience). While many people suffered in dire poverty, in no shape form or way does it excuse what was done to this woman and others. She deserves our compassion.

If Louis had reacted at the beginning of the revolution decisively in accepting a constitutional monarchy, the royal house might still be sitting at Versailles. This sick belief that they reigned by the approval of God and not the people is what led to their downfall. Also the ridiculous flight to Varennes sealed their fate and Marie was instrumental in that debacle which was orchestrated by her admirer Count Fersen. They got what was coming.

+kay jay "Good or evil - there will never be agreement on this, but one fact is undisputable: Marie Antoinette died as a Queen - silent, strong, and with incredible dignity. There is not one, single historical document that has ever even attempted to dispute that - not even from Robespierre's own clan of barbarians. This woman went to her death with perfect poise and sublime self-control. Even those who hated her, had to acknowledge that. Love or hate her as you please, but respect the courage she showed in her last days - it is more than 99.99% of us could ever hope to achieve. RIP, Marie Antoinette."

OMG i cried sooo hard!! thank u for this gorgeous video!

Rest in peace Marie-Antoinette.

The movie is "L'autrichienne" (the austrian woman), by Pierre Granier-Deferre, with Ute Lemper as Marie-Antoinette. It talks about her trial with flasbacks of her life. Very good movie, historically.

Little son Marie Antoinette, Louis Charles, "chou d'amour", was tortured monster Simon on she's eyes... poor innocent angel... GREAT HORROR FOR MOTHER...

Marie Antoinette never said "Let them eat cake" -- that is attributed to Maria Theresa of Spain, the wife of Louis XIV of France. She (Maria Theresa) said it, but because the French continued to tarnish the reputation of Marie Antoinette regardless of no proof of their accusations against her, those who put pen to paper condemned Marie well before her execution. The national debt of France traces back to Louis XIV who literally wrung every bit of money from the poor. He mistreated his staff and was possibly the most arrogant, selfish king in all of French history.

I will say one thing in her favor. Neither Louis XVI nor Marie Antoinette were to blame for the state of the country. It was Louis XIV, the Sun King, who established this absolutist system, in which the king was the incarnate country. As heirs after several generations, Louis and Maria limited themselves to living in the conditions for which they had been raised, those of exercising their office with the established conditions. Louis XIV sowed the seed of discontent in the country with the taxes and the war against Holland and with the construction of that monumental work of Versailles. There were already riots like that of Terror during his reign. He therefore condemned his descendants to hatred of the people as a despicable and tyrannical monarchy, and the people were in great need during the rule of Marie Antoinette and Louis XVI. But Marie Antoinette and Louis XVI did not bother to improve the conditions of the French people, they lived in a cloud, she did not even worry about knowing her own people only in a frivolous and meaningless life, wasting more money than she owned and mortgaging the crown. Their main problem was money. Louis kept sending money to America to pay for the wars there and Marie Antoinette wasted it on stupid things with her friends. Their youth is no excuse for so much indolence. And that indolence had its price. Her children were the ones who really suffered.

Any else getting 2000’s vibes

She was a child who was naive, given no choice and used as a scapegoat. She wanted to please everyone around her, but was ultimately betrayed. RIP Marie Antoinette, we still love you!

@@spudlee1749 Of course, she was used as a pawn. She was married off as a child bride by her mother for geopolitical purposes.

There is no evidence that she had a single moment of clarity about the horrors of serfdom. She died believing that she was, simply because of who she was born, rightfully at the top of a good and just social order.

The revolutionaries were so blood thirsty that they did not realize that as long as Marie Antoinette was alive Robespierre could not turn on them. Killing her allowed him to purge his faction of all the people who threatened him politically. Herbert was executed a few weeks later, he went blindly into that trap. It was about a faction within a faction grabbing the reigns.

Some aristocrats were on the side of the revolution. You can be born with privileged and still want to good of the less fortunate.

I thought Marie Antoinette was just a cake loving Queen. but when I watched this video I learned that She Sacrifices her young life. Not just a Cake lover a Responsible Queen

Her executioners were later executed themselves.

Initially charmed by her personality and beauty, the French people eventually came to dislike her, accusing "L'Autrichienne" (which literally means the Austrian (woman), but also suggests the French word "chienne", meaning bitch) of being profligate, promiscuous,[2] and of harbouring sympathies for France's enemies, particularly Austria, her country of origin.[3] The Diamond Necklace incident damaged her reputation further, although she was completely innocent in this affair. She later became known as Madame Déficit because France's financial crisis was blamed on her lavish spending. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marie_Antoinette

For any of the people who commented asking, the song is called "Dancing" by Elisa.

As is so well said below in the comments, one may believe of Marie Antoinette (or to use her true Austrian name, Maria Antonia) what one will, whether she was good or evil, she was undoubtedly a very proud woman who went to her tragic death with dignity and courage after being horribly mistreated, both in mind and body. Regardless what her detractors say, she did not deserve her cruel fate. My God bless and protect her soul and that she found peace in heaven. RIP Maria Antonia.

I can't even begin to imagine the horror this young women must have felt in her last days. She was a mother spite her status, she loved her husbond spite his status, where life at court without doubt was a lot of things. The people in france was starving, they needed bread but there was no bread to get. Famine can start horrible things, like in Russia with the Zhar family, where the entire family was shot down like tincan's on a wall. The french court was vanity to the core, it was party's and a lot of food amd wine, and the people knew that, because it was so obvius, and the servant's were talking to people on their own level. When a revolution start, people follow like geese in line. Their mind's are blown up to violence and hate, and they often end's up like blood thirsty monster's nobody can stop again. The black widow took sometimes 400 head's on one day, and the citizens of all ages and gender were screaming and shouting for joy for every head rolling down from the blade. People needed to se the suffering, because they were living in it every day, and the more famous and rich, the better the 'fun'. It is a little difficult to judge them for sinking that low, because famine and horrible need for basic thing's are making the mind sick. Marie Antoinette was brave until the end, and that tell's me that she was prepared for her destiny, because even she belonged to royalty and never had tryed one day in need for anything, she somehow understood the people. I think she was a soft kind soul, who died in peace with the love for her husbond and children, for nobody to take. She came to France as a teenager, to a very strange court, to marry a very strange young king, but she was a survivor even in death, that makes her so remarkable in history. She took everything her heart had desired with her to a very ugly death. I admire her because she had the strength to let go, that is courage and female power. She lived in vanity and fun as a big spender, but she died in silence and trust.......

the King and Queen of France were betrayed by a satanic revolution and didn't deserve their fate. They were great people who loved the Holy Catholic Church, their families and country. Louis was trying to do what he could but he was betrayed. Any country that murders its legitimate monarchs deserves a fate worse than total destruction. Requiescat In Pace Louis and Maria Antonia

Over a century later, Alexandra of Russia was asked why she often stared for so long at a portrait of Marie Antoinette that hung in one of the royal palaces of the Czar. She replied that she felt an inexplicable bond with her, and that she feared meeting a similar fate. Of course, she too would die a violent death. Both women were vilified and misunderstood in their adopted countries. Marie was Austrian while Alexandra was German, and their stoic demeanor did not match well with the emotionalism of the French and Russians. Their stoicism was confused with coldness and haughtiness.

They did. She, her husband, her daughter, Marie-Therese, the dauphin and madame Elisabeth, the king's sister, were all put under house arrest. Her "title" was also taken away. She was referred to "widow Capet" when she was put on trial. Her children were taken from her at the end as well. What was done to Marie-Antoinette was far worse than any crimes she commited. She was a scape goat for the french revolution. She tried to escape and was caught.

As an empress, she lived a very extravagant life, completely unaware of the suffering of the people at the bottom. From this point of view she is guilty. The new regime had to use her head to appease the angry people.
