The top mistakes in Marie Antoinette http://www.moviemistakes.com/film5813 en Sat, 07 Nov 2009 06:55:32 +0000 113102 Marie-Antoinette's birthday is on November 2, but when they watch the sunrise, you can see spring wildflowers scattered all over. 117572 When Marie Antoinette asks to be excused from a small reunion at Versailles (after she fantasizes about Fersen), she goes almost running though a hall. If you look at the lamps of the ceiling, they all have light bulbs instead of candles. 119235 Marie Antoinette has moved into her new vacation home following the birth of her daughter. Her friends are visiting, she is walking through the field of wildflowers, and she blows a ladybug off her finger. The camera pans upward to show her gazing at the sky. There is a very obvious vapor-trail from a large airliner cutting through the center of the camera shot, from one side of the screen to the opposite, predating jet-liners by over 150 years. 137066 In the scene where Marie is trying on shoes, a pair of powder blue high top sneakers can be seen next to her feet. It must have been done intentionally, but since there is no trace of modern apparel anywhere else in the film (the closest would be the mere mention of hot pink dress fabric but, as it's not shown, we don't know what exactly Marie calls "hot pink") these shoes (and the fabric) can't be considered part of a thematic element or artistic license, making this a factual error. 130566 At the end when Marie is sitting in the bed and the knock at the door startles her, her dressing gown is off her shoulder and then up on her shoulder when she sits up.
