La Reine Margot is about the St. Bartholomew's day massacre and the intrigues at the court before and after the event. It uniquely tries to denominate Catherine de Medicis as the evil culprit as can be seen, in a way, by her terrible Italian accent. Even though till today the orchestrator of the massacre is in doubt, the movie seems to place the blame on an outsider, on an Italian. Ah, the French, always weary of the outsider. It is close to hilarious to see the portrayal of Charles the ninth as a hypochondriac/drunk, always under the control of external influences. External from himself. Himself representing France. An acute sense of this movie can be derived from a dialog lasting fifteen or so seconds, and which I could not get out of my head {and I kept telling myself throughout the film}. It is the scene where Margot tells Charles XIX, after he witnesses the massacre: Calme-Toi, Calme-Toi. The film is a stupid, overly dramatized piece of work that plays to the emotions of the French. It is a crime against historical fiction and should be persecuted to the fullest extent; the penalty being its burning. The burning of all its copies, original and duplicate reels, so that not a word of it might be spoken of; ever.

I saw this movie about 3 days ago at the Long Beach town center.before viewing this I had just finished watching the pursuit of happiness and quite honestly it was pretty boring.So 4 out of 8 of my friends stumble into this movie having very high expectations.I personally like CIA movies like the Bourne series. The first hour ....okay still interested....the second hour...cant wait for it end. The basic plot of the movie is ...that it has pretty much none at all. And it keeps dragging on introducing these characters who more or less have no effect whatsoever on the movie.I am not complaining about the lenght or lack of a plot but could you throw a little action into it please. One of my favorite movies is Gangs Of new York and it basically is of the same lenght and is also devoid of a plot and I still think it is one of the best movies ever.Thats all from me.

i saw this movie on cable and it was gruesome and awesome.The basic story relies on the path of Sandeman eho is the ultimate crime boss of Liverpool and suddenly gives the reins to his two evil daughters who after seizing power, betray him and hunt him down for some business problems.If you don't like gore,stay away from the movie.i am from India and the bad guy is also an Indian.Nyway this guy is all into torture and the music at the end and during the movie.Its one Richard Harris's best and least watched movie.ten lines.O.K.Hey are British mobsters really brutal and all into torture?Even in British mob games it shows.
