Yes! For a character who is used in the movie as the only royal family member who is decent to Jeanne, he remains a terribly underdeveloped character.

Yes! I have not thought of that yet but now as you say it, the Marylin comparison is spot on!

Exactly! Sorry if it is rude to say this but Maiwenn is nowhere near pretty enough for this role. Even if you are an actor-director, you can't play the main role in the movie you direct in every single case. Sometimes you don't fit that role. It's as if Mel Gibson wanted to play the main role in Hacksaw Ridge instead of giving it to Andrew Garfield 😄 At a point he became too old to play the main roles in his films, so he stopped that. Maiwenn obviously doesn't realize the same thing. I also always support the casting of not young (khm, Ridley Scott....) and not exceptionally beautiful actresses, who are usually put in the background in Hollywood, sadly, but there are cases such as this when you can't cast anyone but a young beautiful woman. At the beginning, Jeanne was shown with a book in her hand so much that I thought the movie would obviously play into the "clever poor girl enchants the rich guy" trope, but they didn't even manage to do that, there is not a single dialogue between them that would show how these two bond exactly.

I saw the movie about versailles mistress in youtube, the actress played madame du barry in that documentary movie is alexa giordano, i think she is perfect as madame du barry

I disagree , beauty is in the eye and i think maiwenn is mesmerising, intriguing and oozes sexual attraction. Maybe thats a 🇬🇧 perspective

@patterdale54 I see that Maiwenn has those special, very unconventional, looks that many will find unattractive and several people will find very attractive. But the point is that du Barry was a very CONVENTIONAL beauty of the time, who was the literal beauty standard, who everyone found beautiful and very attractive and gorgeous. A doll-faced perfect blondie. She was the Marilyn Monroe of her time. Maiwenn is anything but the Marylin Monroe of our times.

@@Lily1127channel i get your point, but i guess everything changes over time, i found watching an African lady playing Anne Boleyn hard to find authentic, not racism but then i guess more drama than historical authenticity.

No 25 was not 40 😀 Biology was still biology and a 25 year old was still young looking and without wrinkles. Especially that in that era women knew they had to avoid the sun no matter what (and the UV was not as harmful to the skin as it is today) and not lay in the sun to get fashionably tanned as it is today.

and it's not just about the age, this actress is just wrong in every possible way for this role, her looks, her lack of grace and charm, etc, and she tries to compensate it by arrogance and quasi-intellectualism; and Depp is not acting well either...

@@miri-818 I disagree. But that is OK.

​@@rw4754it's totally ok to disagree! 🍭

Thank you ❤❤

Thank you 🥰

@@Lily1127channel always

I didn't even know before that she was French! But she is so great in this role, honestly, she embodied du Barry in this role. Maiwenn didn't even stand a chance 😄

@@Lily1127channel yeah she spoke very good English, I loved her as Ippolita Sforza in the Medici too

Thank you for the insight!

But do you know what a Hungarian sounds like? 😀 Maybe it is just like me and this is the typical Hungarian accent 😀 And it just happens to sound similar to the German accent. Many European accents sound very similar to each other, actually.

@@Lily1127channel I know, I was messing with you. 😁😁

​@@Lily1127channelsorry, but German has nothing common with Hungarian, on any level

@@miri-818 I know 😅 How could I not, I speak one as native and learned the other in school. If it had any similarities it would have been much easier to learn it. But I still keep hearing that the accents of both in English sound similar.

​@@Lily1127channel​ I have nothing against your accent! I just say that German and Hungarian are different language families, that's all

Certainly. Although she was still much more interesting than she seems in the movie imo 😀

This Louis 15th , pay attention !

What do you think of the movie? 😊

@@Lily1127channeltheir is no controversy over JD.. he was fully exonerated. Only misandrists still say this

@@Exor840 Look, I really don't care about Depp and Heard's relationship and their private lives. Private is called private for a reason. So I don't care about it, and I don't follow the latest news and verdicts about them. But obviously I am not living under a rock so I saw many comments on the internet about their whole fight. I know that while Depp was kinda cleared in the trial, but to me it still seems like a controversy because there are many people who take Depp's side and also many who still hate him and think him bad. He is still pretty much canceled in Hollywood. Though it is also said that that is mainly because it is horrible to work with him, he behaves horrible on set, often high or drunk, whatever. I really don't care, but I do think, that there are still controversies about him in public opinions.

@@Lily1127channel u’ve got a hell of a lot to say about a subject u know nothing about and aren’t interested in. Just a big mouth
