She Probably Didn’t Eat Any Cake on Set
While it’s commonly thought Marie Antoinette uttered the famous phrase “Let them eat cake” during the famous and deadly French revolution, there’s no evidence she was actually the one who said it. Regardless, she’s remembered as saying this callous phrase as people starved for bread.
Kirsten Dunst played this famous member of nobility in the movie ‘Marie Antoinette’, and the stills have her showing off regal looks and period-accurate fashion. While Antoinette is remembered for this phrase, she was generally thought to be kind and thoughtful, even to peasants. But even acting as a queen is hard work.
I Invented a Shrinking Car, Marty!
The DeLorean is one of the most famous cars in the world, thanks to its inclusion in one of the most movie trilogies ever, the 'Back to the Future' series. All three movies feature the vehicle heavily, as it's the way the entire plot kicks off, and how Doc Brown created his greatest invention.
The still here is from the third movie in the series, 'Back to the Future III', in which Marty chases Doc Brown to the year 1885 and has to figure out a way to power the car home. It's a miniature of the DeLorean, and the steam engine that got it up to speed the filmmakers used to keep costs down.
Back to the Present
The Train itself is only a few feet tall, and the DeLorean model doesn't even hit twelve inches. Since there's no way to power the car in the wild west in the year 1885, Doc Brown and Marty come up with the idea to have the train push it to the requisite speed of 88 miles per hour, which activates the flux capacitor and sends Marty to when he needs to be.
The scene is the powerful climax of the film and the last of the 'Back to the Future' movies, and the filmmakers spared no expense.
Time for Some Tunes
When Dunst wasn't sashaying around in huge ball gowns and heavy hairdos, she and actor Jason Schwartzman, who played Louis XVI, sat around and listened to music, despite being surrounded by crew, amazing sets, and beautiful artwork.
Everybody needs some relaxation, and going for a jog between shots certainly wasn't in the cards, thanks to the aforementioned heavy outfits, as well as the pristine makeup and styles the actress was dutied to maintain. Sitting and listening to some music seems like the kind of thing the real Antoinette got up to, though she probably brought in actual musicians.
Mr. Anderson
How could you forget 'The Matrix'? As Neo begins to realize what his world is really like, and how powerful the machines truly are, the viewers are treated to incredible shots with an amazing mix of CGI and stunt work.
One of the most famous scenes in the entire series is near the end of the third movie – though the movie is thought to be lesser than the earlier two – when the machine world, now full of nothing but rogue Agent Smiths, turns itself against the savior Neo, and an incredible fight in the rain takes place.
