Political Context

Sorry I haven’t written for a while, but I’m really busy with the movie. I’ve never worked in such a complicated set, where every detail REALLY matter. Today I was thinking, as I’ve been thinking for a while, the lack of political context in the film. I mentioned this to my Dad and he said not to worry about that, because I’m doing a personal profile of Marie Antoinette, and she wasn’t involved with politics at all. She just wanted to have a son, but his husband wasn’t really helping in that department. Everyone was judging her in that, and it wasn’t her fault. She was trying to find a way to escape all this mess, and politics wasn’t her escape.
