Snicker - I would expect that this will turn out to be silly and campy, (intended or not) and rarely presenting historical fact, although the costumes did look nice. (Or if it is good enough and popular may spur a trend in modern fashion?) The other possibility, although not likely, is that the music was provided with the trailer simply as an attention getter, and is not an essential part of the movie. I don't know anything about Sofia Coppola's directing style, but didn't she win some awards for Lost in Translation? I refused to watch A Knight's Tale for years because it was set to rock music. When I finally did see it I was pleasantly surprised that it was fun, and didn't take its self seriously. But the female lead's headdresses and hairstyles were freakish at times. Certainly not very accurate, but for nothing else to do on a rainy afternoon, provides a nice bit of fluff - or good background noise while cooking dinner or cleaning house. Annette M

Or is it the new, that they want young people to get an interrest in history, and make it with rock music? I think i am getting old....................

Well, they'll probably try to make her out to just be the misunderstood Paris Hilton of the French Court...all that running around and lying in the grass and stuff. Y'know, like Mozart was just a Classical rock star! :-P The clothes look 30-fold times better than "Amadeus" I must say. They look right good. I noticed several different styles. I wonder if they follow the time line or are just scattered throughout? ------------------------------ Message: 13 Date: Thu, 20 Apr 2006 18:30:30 -0700 (PDT) From: "Diana Habra" Subject: Re: [h-cost] Marie Antoinette They did the same thing with "A Knight's Tale". Decent story, fun characters and okay clothing but the music......Very rock and totally out of place (along with the icky lampshade hat on his girlfriend). It would have been great without the rock music and some of the questionable clothing....

Now, see I thought the music and the "medieval punk" really MADE the movie. It would have been boring w/o it, IMO. Different strokes.

I thought they might as well have kept the jousting, plumped for a modern setting and achieved less net total anachronism. -- Adele de Maisieres --------------------------------- How low will we go?
