And the whole setup of the story is brilliant. The story is basically a Shakespeare play. And all the world's a stage. D'eon & Maximilien Robespierre were the first set of actors on the stage, and the act that they appear in ends with their death. Frances (the world's time) moves forward, new actors set their foots upon the stage. A new era fills all the world. Awh I'm on fire, I remember how much I loved this show. What a show Le Chevalier D'eon was. ahhhh Sorry about spamming your profile. lol
Interesting how the character's in the show were all depictions (though not thoroughly accurate) of real famous figures from the French Revolution.
Le Chevalier D'Eon himself
Maximilien Robespierre
Comte de Saint-Germain
Jacques Pierre Brissot
Marquise de Pompadour (really portrayed contrast with Queen Marie and Anna in the role of women)
All the Royal people (King Louis XV, Queen Marie, Empress Ekaterina, Tsaritsa Elizaveta)
Also I couldn't get enough of the idea of questioning necessity of there being a king, a social hierarchy, the idea of a revolution. The reason and historic information of the bloodiest era, the French Revolution/The reign of terror.
Le Chevalier D'Eon lacking in soundtrack? I beg to differ.
I also disagree (eh I definitely see your point though) with the lack of substance in characters. Everybody has their own ideals, everybody's ideals eventually clash with each others, there's trust, and then there's betrayal. There's differences, that set them apart, yet there's that same outcome-ideal, that brings them together. Robbie is the only one that doesn't have a set-in-stone ideal that's eventually created through his interaction and understanding of all the other character's ideals, and hence in the end he becomes the sole survivor, he becomes the famous french revolution hero that gets guillotined.
The entire story was about revolution, bringing forth a new world in Europe (particularly France). The entire point of the magic-psalms was to basically say "even if everything passes away, words will still remain, written under many names" and that religion (Christianity) was a huge obstacle in moving forward into the future. I thought the plot/story was brilliant.
An era where vengeance begun vengeance. An era where loyalty was met with death. An era where the church's ideas (royal psalms) was passed onto the hands of the people, and was reborn into a new ideal. An era where blood flooded the land.
Great review though I'd definitely give it a higher rating ^o^
