Marie Antoinette

When I was in 6th grade I read "Marie Antoinette Princess of Versailles" by Kathryn Lasky, it was part of the Royal Diaries Series. I remember I loved that book and I read it like six times in a row. About a month ago I saw it in my book shelf and I decided to read it again. It may sound silly since I have read it so many times, but it was about six years ago that I read it and I have a totally new way of viewing things and I found that I have a much better understanding of the book and I appreciate and value it a lot more. =]
I am taking History 110B and I absolutely love that class, we talked about King Louis XIV and I remembered Marie Antoinette was married to his grandson. that was the main reason I reread the book. =] Well, after I read it I researched more about Marie Antoinette and I saw that a movie was made about her in 2005. I have an uncle who loves movies and is always getting new movies he doesn't have, so i called him and asked him to get me the movie "Marie Antoinette" whenever he went out to buy movies. Finally this weekend he came over and brought me the movie! =]
I watched it twice and I loved it! I knew a lot of the characters and events that happened because I had recently read the book again, but seeing it in a movie was a lot of fun! =]
I recommend people to watch it because the actors do a great job in portraying her life! =]
I love the way the characters dress and the palace she lived in was absolutely beautiful! =]
I definately have to go and see the place in person some day! =]
