    Please use spoiler tags whenever commenting a spoiler in a non-spoiler thread. Most of the Lemmy clients don't support this but we want to get into the habit as clients will be supporting in the future.

Love Joaquin, and Ridley has a good track record.. but I'm feeling pretty cautious about this movie. I get the vibe they're cramming too much in.

Still curious though.

Historically, who is the woman who dies by guillotine at the beginning?

Marie Antoinette. From Wikipedia about her execution 1793: She wanted to wear a black dress but was forced to wear a plain white dress, white being the colour worn by widowed queens of France. Her hair was shorn, her hands bound painfully behind her back and she was put on a rope leash. Unlike her husband, who had been taken to his execution in a carriage (carrosse), she had to sit in an open cart (charrette) for the hour it took to convey her from the Conciergerie via the rue Saint-Honoré thoroughfare to reach the guillotine erected in the Place de la Révolution (the present-day Place de la Concorde). She maintained her composure, despite the insults of the jeering crowd.

Thanks! Down the Wikipedia rabbit hole I go!

This looks like it'll be good.

Looks good. Probably worth trying to see in the theater!
