Marie Antoinette
So, I saw Marie Antoinette.
Turns out this movie is directed by Sofia Coppola.
I loved Lost in Translation.
The good thing about that movie, is that what is on the verge of happening throughout the whole thing never does happen. And you’re left with this beautiful sweet taste of a sin half way committed.
In the movie Marie Antoinette, you know what’s going to happen.
The main characters of the movie are all going to be killed.
The whole movie plays like a children’s show, very flowery.
So you think- this is good. Can’t wait to see where this ends up very witty- this must be showing the situation from their standpoint.. You’re just.. la dee da.. and look at the pretty flowers, and the sunlight and then - oh no, we’re dead! The End. Movie over.. aha! What a great movie.. but no. Sorry Sofia Coppola. You suck here.
You can’t use the same formula and get away with it, not here.
This screenplay had a chance to actually be witty, to leave some kind of an aftertaste in your eyeballs, nut nooOOOoooo… I’m Sofia Coppola, I’m going to make a joke without a punchline and you’re all going to laugh anyway.
Well, I ain’t laughing.
Nor is your father, Francis Ford Coppola. I know it. I know he’s shaking his head and thinking *tsk* *tsk* - and you’re like.. “Why daddy! Why! It *is* a good movie! It’s a fucking masterpiece! It’s a great movie, daddy!!! buahahhhahahahaah!”
And daddy don’t say nuthin’ does he?! Maybe he nods and says ‘yes honey, you made a movie.’
But, I wanna be like daddy!!!
Sorry, it takes more then a dick and balls to make Francis Ford Coppola, Sofia.
Ps. Gotta tell ya though, incredibly good score. The Strokes.. Joy Division. Almost made the movie good. Try it without the video next time, should be cheaper to make.
