The top mistakes in Marie Antoinette http://www.moviemistakes.com/film5813 en Sat, 19 Jul 2008 05:55:28 +0000 119310 In the scene with all the shoes and desserts, there is a close up of a purple pair of Chuck Taylor's, which definitely were not around in the 1700's. 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. 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. 113190 Marie-Antoinette is shown to always be naked under her chemise, as was customary back them. But Kirsten Dunst's underwear can be seen through it many times in the movie, especially when she is going to bed and the chemise stretches over her body.
