Maire Antoinette question..?

Question

What was with the ending?? Someone PLEASE explain..

Answer 1

In the Marie Antoinette movie, towards the end The French Revolution comes into full fruition and an angry mob begins a march from Paris to Versailles. As most of the nobility flees the country, the royal family resolves to stay. The rioting sans-culottes reach the palace and the King and Queen are forced to leave the following morning. The last image of the movie is a shot of the royal couple's room, destroyed. Unmentioned in the film are the royal couple's later incarceration, trial and execution.

Answer 2

The movie follows her early life, and the part of her life that is often left out of movies.  After the King and Queen fail to escape, they are taken as prisoners to the Tuileries, a palace in Paris that used to be located near the Louvre, forming a square, unlike the "U" form it now takes.  (The Tuileries was later burned down.)  After imprisonment in the Tuileries, the Princess de Lamballe, her friend in the movie (who actually escaped to England) came back to be with the Queen during her imprisonment.  The mob caught her and literally ripped her limb from limb as she was piked to death, and then the mob  abused her remains in the most horrible ways imaginable.  Then the Royal family were moved to the Bastille.  Louis was executed first.  Then Marie Antoinette was tried for treason (writing her brother, Emperor Joseph for military help.)  At her trial, she was even accused of sexually abusing her son, the dauphin, and some felt that she put on such a good defense that she would be spared.  But, of course, she went to the guillotine.

Answer 3

I assume you're talking about the recent movie.  The film ends just before she is taken away to be executed.  I think the director assumed most viewers would be educated enough to know what was going to happen.

Answer 4

lol the real history? she was killed in the guillotine.

movie: she was taken on a carriage with her husband Louis somewhere...it ended.

Answer 5

well, in real life she got her head chopped off
