They made her look a lot more interesting than French history books ever did, almost like a mythical figure. And, of course, I suspect people on this continent are fascinated with the period costumes, too.

You have a choice: VO, for version originale (original version) and VF, for version française (dubbed in French). It depends on the movie theater, you just need to look carefully at what they say. On the Champs Elysées it’s always VO.<BR/><BR/>Jing. Do you have a lot of French designers shops in Shanghai already?<BR/><BR/>Soosha. Well maybe the photo makes it look odd, but in fact in reality it’s pretty OK. Providing you like Princess Di like your mother, of course!<BR/><BR/>Vicky. (is Hugo, your real name???). No I haven’t and it’s no longer showing. I just watched the trailer (in fact I remember having vaguely heard of it). It looks good, now I regret not to have seen it! Is it bad English to end a sentence with a preposition? I did not know that!<BR/><BR/>Christlate. It is good, isn’t. And she really looks like her!<BR/><BR/>Nanajoon. I don’t know, it’s a marketing thing. I suppose since it takes place in Europe, they launched it there first. So, you did not like Marie-Antoinette ?<BR/><BR/>Metaphysicalmama. Actually it was pretty expensive: 1 500 €. But it’s a Castelbajac!<BR/><BR/>Michael. Interesting. You lived in London when Diana died and now you live in the city where she had her accident. Did you ever pass under the tunnel where her car crashed?<BR/><BR/>Edulabbe. Tell us what you think of the movie. I’m surprised to hear that Marie-Antoinette seems to be so famous on the American continent.<BR/><BR/>Dxbluey. Wow. That is an interesting piece of info. Now I see it from a totally different angle. It’s not so original then…<BR/><BR/>Anonymous. And… how was it?<BR/><BR/>Edwin. Oh she did? I did not know that. <BR/><BR/>Tomate. I know it takes time to download. Not may fault (or maybe, too many photos!!) It’s time to switch to the beta version but it would not let me do it. Don’t know why.<BR/><BR/>Susan. I don’t know. I have never seen anybody with a dress like that in the streets of Paris…<BR/><BR/>John. An email from Lay Di?! Spooky!<BR/><BR/>Ladyjicky. No, spooky, John!<BR/><BR/>Lisi. I can’t believe Marie-Antoine is famous also in HK??? Why on earth ?!<BR/><BR/>Susan. Well, one could write books about this topic. In fact it appears that the more you “enjoy life”, as you say, the less money you make and the less you can afford to enjoy life! On the contrary the more you work, the more you make money and the less you have time to enjoy life! There is no perfect system, it’s a matter of balance (in medio stat virtus as the Latin used to say). One thing is sure though, it is true that in the US anybody can succeed if they want to ; in Europe it’s a class system. If you don’t belong to the right class, there is very little chance that you climb up the social ladder.<BR/><BR/>Olivier. N’est-il pas !<BR/><BR/>Johnny. Well, I am not so sure this dress is that commercial actually. I think it’s really a creative work, although it looks like a lousy printed gown!<BR/><BR/>Martine. I kinda like it, but I’ll be honest; I am not a girl so I will never have to wonder whether wearing it or not!<BR/><BR/>Sally. You’re welcome. Everybody> This lady has been married for 25 years AND she just posted her 300th photo!<BR/><BR/>Kris. OK, that makes at least one!<BR/><BR/>Michelle. OK. So you’re not like nanajoon then. Difficult to know what to think of it…<BR/><BR/>Pinkpanther. Well it’s probably not that simple, of course, but at least you don’t have the “good school”, the “proper accent” nor the “good family” background system that we have in Europe. <BR/><BR/>Paul. “my wife didn't "buy" the idea that Tony Blair does the washing-up at home, nor that Mrs. Blair cooks their supper.”. I also wondered actually. One always wonder how these people live; do they give up everything of a normal life? That part was also very interesting.<BR/><BR/>Zannnie. Thank you ;). Why wouldn’t they show The Queen in Singapore? No foreigh movies there?<BR/><BR/>Ujima. You’ll see. Helen Mirren plays a much much larger role than late Diana.

This is too much like the Tshirt photo genre. <BR/><BR/>The coincidence is bizarre. The tragedy of Lady Di's death caused millions to wear black to honor her.

I am surprised that so far, they all seem to have moved to the U.S. rather than other countries.<BR/><BR/>All in all, I have to say that the things they say about America are right-on target (except you need to realize that L.A. is a little different than the rest of the U.S....no offence to people of L.A. but it's true nonetheless).<BR/><BR/>I sometimes hate that "work, work, work" seems to be the way of life here and wonder if I wouldn't be happier in Europe. Reading the comments has made me appreciate America more and realize that the U.S. has many great attributes (but I still wish there was less emphasis on work and more on enjoying life).<BR/><BR/>The best thing about America is that anyone...and I mean anyone, can come from any country in the world and be successful if they want to.
