@@kyoko6862 attended the exclusive met gala (tickets were $70k) and cosplayed Marie Antoinette while saying her infamous line. People were not impressed because even though it’s like that MA didn’t actually say that, the words still have a mocking, tongue-in-cheek response to the plight of the poor and simply mocks the wealth disparity. It was the final straw that led to a mass celebrity blockout, which aims to protest the celebs as they have not used their platforms to bring awareness to crises and world issues.
@@rumeysss486nobody said she was it’s just it’s the one quote people remember her for and it’s not even real I think everyone is smarter than to idolize royal families
a lot of people miss that the movie wasn't portraying Marie Antoinette in a bad light where she actually said "Let them eat cake!". It's quite literally making fun of that theory.
Well Marie Antoinette was 14 when she got married to Louis and 19 when she became a queen so this parts really just show her being a teenager without a real sense of responsibility due to her young age
@@ariannacat533 I know, but the film should have been about the troubles, that the French citizen's were going threw because of the poor, leadership' of the French monarchy at the time.but instead we just get another, cash in valley girl flick. Wasted opportunitie, in my mind.
@@sandramoore3790 there are also many movies centered about the rise of the revolution, this one simply is about Marie Antoinette's life and how the French court changed her. If you want something about the actual revolution then watch another movie
This is such an amazing video! It deserves more views/likes, especially after all these years lol. Very creative choice of style and I LOVE how this edit starts. I could watch this for hours lol, great job!!
Because the thousands of other people to use it aren't filthy rich. The thing about Haley is shes so incredibly wealthy and out of touch, by tries so hard to be relatable. She also reacted terribly to being confronted. She would rather spend all of her money on Gucci handbags then helping our fucked up world.
@@babygirl-nd6xxYou're delusional if you think Marie Antoinette is associated with Palestine in anyway. Palestine was not even an independent country until 1988.
@@darkgamersupreme2348 No, Marie literally never said “let them eat cake” she said _bread_ instead, but it didn’t matter. The French people always hated her, since she wasn’t native to their land.
