Marie Antoinette (2006) - 5 corrections
Comments made in brackets are corrections from other visitors. As such, any aggressive/abusive corrections (and I get quite a few) written as if they're comments I've made myself will be ignored. To submit your own corrections for mistakes, just click the edit icon under an entry, then choose "correct entry". Some entries have "duplicated entry" after them - these are entries which were already listed on the main page, but were submitted again. I occasionally leave these online for a while, just in case they were moved in error, so don't worry about pointing them out to me.
It's Marie-Antoinette and Louis's firstborn son who died, after his brother was born, yet the movie shows the second one as dying (see the painting: the boy and girl remain the same after it's modified, but the baby disappears). [The child that was painted out of the painting is actually Sophie Helene. She was painted out because she died the summer before the portrait was finished. The three children in the painting are Marie Therese Charlotte, Louis Joseph, and Louis Charles.]
In the scene when Marie is trying on shoes and eating all those desserts, she is seen giving her dog desserts. The desserts have chocolate in them, which would kill the dog. [They didn't know that back then and we are never told or shown if the dog dies so it really could have died and we just never knew.]
In the marital bed, when Marie indicates she is chilly, and the Dauphin asks if she wishes a blanket, I find it highly unlikely that the phrase, "It's okay," would be used in 18th century France. [This film, like almost all historical films, is shot in the language an audience will understand. This is a film convention, not a mistake.]
