Sofia Coppola has stated openly that this film is an ‘interpretation’ of people, places and events and is not intended to reflect historical accuracy. This is an artistic journey into imagination not a history book so just take the film for what it is, a movie. The venue for this work is Showtime not the History Channel. Instead of trying to watch this as a historically based film it may be better to think of it as an indictment of today’s celebutantes.
- The scene of the masked ball was filmed in the Grand foyer and on the Grand escalier of the Palais Garnier (a.k.a. the Paris Opéra), which did not open until 1875, more than eighty years after Marie Antoinette's death.
- In one scene, Louis and Marie are informed that the Comtesse de Provence was in labor. However, the real Comtesse de Provence, wife of Louis' younger brother, Louis Stanislaus, comte de Provence, was childless. The infant in question, the Duke of Angoulême, was the son of Louis' youngest brother, Charles, comte d'Artois.
- In the film, Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette are shown to have only three children when in fact they had four; after Louis-Joseph, another son, Louis-Charles was born in 1784. He was later proclaimed King Louis XVII by people still loyal to the French monarchy in 1793.
- Characters speak in English language without even French accents.
* Also, the beheading of Marie Antoinette is not shown in the film because the movie ends before it is supposed to occur. Its not like they left it out of the movie and changed her fate to let her surivive. The beheading is still implied and everyone knows that it is going to occur.
well for starters they didnt show the bit where they were beheaded did they
