Marie Antoinette: The trailer that intrigued a million hip, young history buffs. To be honest I actually liked this movie, though it was at times about as exciting as watching a very pretty balloon drift across an overcast sky. It was generally panned, probably because the trailer was just so promising, at least for people like me who love both history and pop music in equal measure. The color scheme is glorious, and when paired with Gang of Four’s kicky “Natural’s Not in It” and New Order’s aching, epic “Ceremony” expectations are bound to soar. There’s nothing too special about the editing, though I do like the placement of the stirring balcony scene towards the end. Perhaps a more accurate trailer for this glorified music video of a movie is this:
