@Julia but the film is for English speaking audiences. That is why they are speaking English. The accent is irrelevant. If they were going for realism they would be speaking in the Russian language, or French as some people have pointed out. I would even go as far to say speaking with an accent would make it even more unrealistic. The audience knows these characters are Russian and would be speaking the language of the time. It doesn't need to be 'Allo, Allo'
Julia That is the dumbest take I’ve ever heard. I’m not one to go off on “SJW’s” and being “woke”, like some 300 pound Red Pill neckbeard, but geez. If this was truly “realistic” and “historical”, they would all be speaking French, which was the court language at the time. I would think that the fact that these snobby aristos regarded the language of the majority of the people they ruled over to be “low class” and “barbaric” to be pretty “problematic” as well, but I don’t expect you to know these things.
@Julia Sure, they could speak whatever accent they like. My guess is it was a creative decision. Most likely based on marketability of the movie. My original comment was just meant to be light hearted observation of the comment section. So I will leave it there, and wish you a good evening.
The last scene, where they share a table scene together. He wears the pearl necklace and she wears a loose male blouse. Brilliant depiction of the roles in the show.
Nicholas is a very underrated actor. I hope he gets more attention and many big film projects as well. Good luck. Thanks to all for helping me reach 1k plus likes. 👍
@@lilronnyg5724 Well at least, the audience now learns that Russian history isn't all about Stalin, USSR or Lenin. By the way, i am not saying this because i am russophile.
@@SiriuslyPotty That movie was a funny dark comedy, and by the end ... is just dark, and while you await for the punch line, it never comes. Dark ending as fack.
It looks like this has the same quirkiness and understated genius as The Favourite (which should have won best picture imo). I have a feeling this is gonna be great! No pun intended
Elle fanning is such an amazing actress! She is literally the same age as me and look how successful she is and always playing with successful actors. She is just wonderful! I enjoy watching her movies a lot🤍
I hate that they're not old more open about that kind of information, but to be honest with you I'm kind of glad it's a miniseries. Peter and Catherine were married for so long, and there's so much history between them, that there's no way they could have put it in Just 2 hours.
To the people who never watched anything Elle Fanning done or few of her works! watch All The Bright Places, Ginger & Rosa, The Neon Demon, 20th Century Women, Super 8, Teen Spirit, Somewhere, Gavelston ! or just type Elle Fanning works and choose anything she is great actress and the range of her roles is amazing!
vanilla bean yes of course maleficent but it’s mainstream i think most people watched it that’s why i recommended her less known indie movies she did many great movies that a lot of people don’t know about them
I'm loving it - possibly because I can't be horrified by any warped history. Previously all I knew about Catherine was what I got from 9th grade World History: she came to power through a coup, her reign was "the Golden Age of Russia", and she had a bear. *shrug* After episode one I bought a biography.
She wrote her memoirs justifying her coup and the murder of her husband by her lover. History is written by the victors. It could all be a lie to make him look stupid and incompetent.
Black Alien No, because it’s also very likely that he was an asshole, as that’s generally the case with many historical emperors. They had a different view of people back then.
He banned torture, got rid of salt taxes and instead put taxes on the noble, loosened the travel ban, allowed freedom of religion, took actions to improve trade, and planned to prohibit serfdom. I think this is more than “decent”, not every person is black and white (not talking bout skin tone) like movies like to depict them.
Yes there was a black guy in Russia back then; Abram Petrovich Gannibal EDIT: Along with his descendants, including Alexander Pushkin, mixed-race and the father of Russian literature.
@@lesstalk3967 Bro your historical knowledge of our people is severely lacking. Peter the great, who is peter the third's (husband of Catherine the great, the buffoon pictured in this series) great great grandfather, he had a negro famously known as peter the greats negro or peter the greats moor who became a Russian general, architect and Russian noble and his descendant aleksndr Pushkin is actually one of the most revered Russian poets in history and wrote a unfinished novel about his life, the man pictured in this video is most likely one of his descendants who BTW actually still live to this day including a second cousin to the current queen, her majesty Elizabeth the second queen of the united kingdom. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abram_Petrovich_Gannibal On her paternal side, Gannibal’s second wife was descended from noble families in Scandinavia and Germany: Siöberg (Sweden), Galtung (Norway), and Grabow (Denmark) / von Grabow (Brandenburg).[1][13] Her paternal grandfather was Gustaf Siöberg, Rittmester til Estrup, who died in 1694, whose wife Clara Maria Lauritzdatter Galtung (ca. 1651-1698) was the daughter of Lauritz Lauritzson Galtung (ca. 1615-1661) and of Barbara Grabow til Pederstrup (1631-1696). Abram Gannibal and Christine Regina Siöberg had ten children, including a son, Osip. Osip in turn would have a daughter, Nadezhda, the mother of Alexander Pushkin. Gannibal's oldest son, Ivan, became an accomplished naval officer who helped found the city of Kherson in southern Ukraine in 1779 and attained the rank of general-in-chief, the second-highest military rank in imperial Russia. Some British aristocrats descend from Gannibal, including Natalia Grosvenor, Duchess of Westminster and her sister, Alexandra Hamilton, Duchess of Abercorn. George Mountbatten, 4th Marquess of Milford Haven, a cousin of Queen Elizabeth II, is also a direct descendant, as the grandson of Nadejda Mountbatten, Marchioness of Milford Haven.
@Prithu Or speak french with a german accent. They were both born in Germany according to wiki and most probably grew up there. But I would rather listen to them performing their dialog in british english than having to listen to broken accents for the whole movie.
@@chrisedwards4542 are you stupid? Russian Historical accuracy? In an American drama? Tell me, would the bulk of American audiences enjoy a French only movie? No. Would American audiences enjoy looking at fat ugly rich people killing other fat ugly rich people? No. What an American audience enjoys is 1, to be able to understand the movie they watch, 2, to look at pretty and handsome actors, and 3, to look at dogs floating in parachutes (i:e comedy). None of these can possibly be found in a historically accurate representation of Russian coups. Especially one that isnt well recorded (the cause of the death of Peter 3 isnt even known, so how can they be historically accurate). Go away.
This looks so good and I've just laughed harder and more cause of this trailer than because of any other show I've watched after Veep ended (except fleabag)
Witty is more precise word, that is why I love these kinds of movies/tv series, looking kinda not serious but actually delve deeply into the psyches and inner characteristics of the characters, what motivated them, plus the gorgeous costumes and set designs ✨
Actually, there usually are some truths, as in "The Death of Stalin," though there are often liberties taken with the truth for dramatic effect or satire or to make a point.
All the comments about them not speaking with Russian accents. Like speaking English with a Russian accent would make it more realistic?
Rich Alan 😂😂
It’d probably make it funnier tbh

She’s American??

She’s an actress and that’s her job

I don't see the hype in her
I love her shes amazing :)

It's mixed with Marie Antoinette, The Madness of King George and Black Swan.

Elle Fanning is always perfect for princess/queen roles 💕
Elle fanning is such an amazing actress! She is literally the same age as me and look how successful she is and always playing with successful actors. She is just wonderful! I enjoy watching her movies a lot🤍
This is a tv miniseries not a movie
true!!!
I hate when its never said clearly in promos for stuff these days..
@@mayagold10 exactly I I wanna know if I'll be investing so much time in it

@SuperSilver where can I watch it?
To the people who never watched anything Elle Fanning done or few of her works! watch All The Bright Places, Ginger & Rosa, The Neon Demon, 20th Century Women, Super 8, Teen Spirit, Somewhere, Gavelston ! or just type Elle Fanning works and choose anything she is great actress and the range of her roles is amazing!
t zone maleficent too
Maleficent too. She looked so pretty in there
Like her sister they are amazing both 👏❤️
vanilla bean yes of course maleficent but it’s mainstream i think most people watched it that’s why i recommended her less known indie movies she did many great movies that a lot of people don’t know about them
Excellent in Mary Shelley in the eponymous movie.
This show is severely underrated. It’s so funny and dramatic and sad. ITS GOT IT ALLLLLLL.
Her: does anything right
Him: no stop right there
I love how The Favorite brought back witty period comedy. This year we have Emma and this.
_"She is a strange creature who i sense is at times laughing at me "_ oh sweetie the whole of Russia is laughing at you 😂
The show is actually really good and really funny. I really hope there's season 2.
I watch literally everything Elle fanning is in I love her.
Fanning looks amazing in this wardrobe, and this whole thing seems so funny!!!
It's simple really, I see Elle and I click.
Yaaaaaaas Elle. She’s always amazing
Never seen a movie with her that wasn’t period drama LOL
watch the neon demon
20th century women is a great film and she is in it too...not period drama
@@sabinah8313
that's a period drama
She was in Netflix "all the bright places"
Super 8
I wait for so long the GREAT season 2 because first was AWESOME.
Unexpectedly amazing show.
"Young Catherine" 1991 with Julie Ormond was really good.
Jamie Suzanne hiii
Watch “Ekaterina” TV series, 3 seasons. I think it’s available on Amazon Prime. It’s Russian and pretty close to history.
@@juliiashan4730 Awesome! I just Googled it and it looks great. Thanks a bunch!
Юлия Ван-Чжан-Шань ok.
YES! IT WAS GREAT!
Omg can’t wait to watch season 2 I’m in love with this serie 😍
They were both amazing!!!!
God I miss this show so much 💔
I love Elle Fanning, and I've always really liked Nicholas. This looks really entertaining.
This is giving me a lot of Kirsten Dunst in Marie Antoinette vibes. She looks really beautiful
Amazing show. Highly reccomend.
this will be my favourite series
Nicholas Hoult channeling his outer Tom Cruise
The stairs ornated with the two guarding lions are in the Palace of Caserta, in Italy, my city.
There’s been an influx of historical movies and I’m all for it.
So far I haven't stopped laughing, I hope it stays this funny. Episode one was a winner for me 😂
5 seconds into this and it has already reminded me of The Favourite lol
Threw the dog and almost made me faint
Get a grip you fanny.
You think they kill animals in movies?
@ ur an idiot.
Faint ? Such a drama queen
Catherine The Great on HBO was amazing, and i'll definitely be watching this version of her story too.
As a Brit I highly approve of Elle Fanning’s English accent. After Meryl’s Iron Lady, probably the best I’ve heard!
😍 Love period pieces with rebel Queens & royalty figures.
I'm loving it - possibly because I can't be horrified by any warped history. Previously all I knew about Catherine was what I got from 9th grade World History: she came to power through a coup, her reign was "the Golden Age of Russia", and she had a bear. *shrug*
