Okay, so the other day I was browsing around, trying to find some movies similar to “Marie Antoinette.” You know, that 2006 film? It’s one of my all-time favorites. The whole vibe of that movie – the costumes, the music, the setting – it’s just perfect. Anyway, I wanted to find more films that gave off a similar feel, so I started digging.
First, I just googled “movies similar to Marie Antoinette,” and guess what? I found out there are, like, 65 films that people consider similar! Can you believe it? I started going through some lists, and a lot of people recommended it because they enjoyed “Marie Antoinette” on streaming services.
One thing I noticed is that a lot of these similar movies are also period pieces. They’re set in fancy historical settings with big dresses and elaborate hairstyles. I guess that’s a big part of the appeal of “Marie Antoinette.” It’s like stepping into another world, you know? Some folks even highlighted movies with a similar storyline, like “The Duchess,” where the main characters, Lady Georgiana and Marie Antoinette, share comparable experiences. They both got hitched into high society, dealt with some not-so-nice husbands, and struggled to have kids.
Here are some thoughts I jotted down while searching:
- A lot of these movies seem to focus on strong female characters.
- The visuals are super important – lots of emphasis on costumes and set design.
- Many of these films are based on real historical figures or events.
Diving Deeper into Marie Antoinette
Then I got curious about “Marie Antoinette” itself. Did you know there’s a series that portrays her as a feminist icon? Emilia Schüle, who plays Marie, even called her a “rebel” who was “modern, emancipated, and fought for equality and for her personal freedom.” Pretty cool, right? I also learned that the whole movie was shot at the Palace of Versailles, well, most of it. They used some other fancy spots around Paris, too, and even studios for a couple of rooms that weren’t film-friendly. Oh, and get this – Kirsten Dunst, who plays Marie, was portraying a 14-year-old when her character got engaged to the 15-year-old Louis! Crazy to think about.
So yeah, that’s what I’ve been up to lately. It’s been a fun little adventure, diving into the world of historical dramas. I’ve added a bunch of movies to my watchlist, and I’m excited to check them out. If you’ve seen any movies like “Marie Antoinette” that you think I’d enjoy, let me know! I’m always looking for recommendations. And if you haven’t seen “Marie Antoinette” yet, what are you waiting for? Go watch it! You won’t regret it.
