[Publib] "Marie Antoinette" with Primary Sources

[l.symecko at att.net]

For other movies, History Channel has "History vs. Hollywood." It is a tv show where they discuss a different movie each time, however they often have some of it on their website as well http://www.historychannel.com
The first "History vs Hollywood" I saw was about the movie Saving Private Ryan and it was very interesting.

The new film "Marie Antoinette" is about the teenage queen and the French 
Revolution.  This website http://www.awesomestories.com/movies/marie_antoinette/marie_antoinette_ch1.htm  will 
help teachers and students distinguish actual history from cinematic fiction.  
It links to eyewitness accounts, the memoirs of Marie Antoinette's assistant, 
the queen's last letter, contemporary drawings and paintings.  It also tells the 
story of the queen's young son whose heart - removed after his death - was 
subjected to DNA analysis in 2004.

The website http://www.awesomestories.com/ is free for all educators, schools
