Now For the "Mildly Different" Today......

Hello All:

Below here is some videos that have the former queen of France in them, Marie Antoinette, as portrayed in a couple of movies, one from 1938, then one from 2006.  I know this much about the one video that is in this montage that involves a mean spirited letter from Marie Antoinette's mom, Queen Maria Theresa  --  Marie Antoinette actually did recieve that letter from her mom and yes, it was extremely mean spirited from Queen Maria Theresa.

That letter in question, Queen Maria Theresa in essence, rips Marie Antoinette a new one, because Queen Maria Theresa had sent Marie Antoinette to France to be married to the douphan, (at the time), Louis Auguste, the guy who would later become King Louis XVI, to keep peace between Austria and France.  Queen Maria Theresa had made it crystal clear to Marie Antoinette that in not so many words that Maria Theresa expected Marie Antoinette to put out and make babies with Louis Auguste and it it pretty much pronto, (right after Marie Antoinette and Louis Auguste were "Officially" married in France, on their wedding night.)

Part of me always wondered about Marie Antoinette as a person, because although Marie Antoinette lived a pampered life for the vast majority of her live, not only in the Austrian court, at the beginning of Marie Antoinette's life, but  for most of Marie Antoinette's life in the French court, as Queen of France.  I imagine that Marie Antoinette wasn't 100% happy with her life and all of that freedom, because it is said that King Louis XVI wasn't exactly the best of husbands towards Marie Antoinette.  I don't think that King Louis XVI was a very good husband to Marie Antoinette, not up until the very end of it all, when both Louis and Marie knew that they would soon be seeing the end of their lives and they would be getting executed.

Part of me also feels sorry in a way towards King Louis XVI, because he always had what I call and "Ugly duckling syndrome," where King Louis XVI didn't feel "Worthy" to be the king of France, much less have a somewhat pretty lady, (like Marie Antoinette) for a wife.  It is my understanding that King Louis XVI was a bit of a porker and an ackward teenager, when he and Marie Antoinette met for the first time as teenagers, near the borders of France and Austria.

If King Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette lived today and both of them met me, (as they looked when they first met each other), I could imagine seeing King Louis XVI looking like a greasy haired, pimply, braces ridden teenager and Marie Antoinette looking like a party girl, who just partied for part of the night with her girls at some bar somewhere.  Of course, I also would see that the both of them would be cleaned up drastically now as well  --  King Louis XVI would at least have some Clearsil or like some other kind of acne medicine to wipe his face with and Marie Antoinette would still need a few years of being taught to "Tone it down" to be the respectable lady that she ends up being at the end of her life.

I also can't imagine going from extreme wealth (on both King Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette's parts) to being poor, prisioners; who are waiting to be executed by the new national government for just being who they were  --  the deposed leaders of the same country.  I know that if it was me, I would have seen to it that my children were taken somewhere far, far away from all of that bad stuff, if I was Marie Antoinette and King Louis XVI, but I don't think that they were that lucky.  I know that their oldest son, King Louis XVII was executed inside of the prison or went missing or something along those lines, shortly after King Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette were both executed.

Any way, here are the videos, folks.  Oh, and speaking of these videos  --  I almost forgot to mention that mixed in with these videos about Marie Antoinette are actual Queen rock videos as well, right along with some other various local, (in Northern Kentucky and Cincinnati, Ohio area) videos here as well!  So happy viewing, folks!!
