Action opens in November of , with Danton returning to Paris from his country retreat upon learning that the Committee for Public Safety, under Robespierre's incitement, has begun a series of massive executions, The Terror.

Confident in the people's support, Danton clashes with his former ally, but calculating Robespierre soon rounds up Danton and his followers, tries them before a revolutionary tribunal and dipatches them to the guillotine.

Did you know Edit. Trivia Robespierre and all the characters in his faction are played by Polish actors speaking in Polish, dubbed into French for the French release, while Danton and all the characters in his faction are played by French actors speaking in French. David objects, saying, "But he was there," but removes d'Englantine. In truth, d'Englantine did not take part in the Tennis Court Oath, since in he was not a deputy to the Estates General.

Thus, the film falsifies history. Quotes Robespierre : For the country's good we must be ruthless. User reviews 38 Review. So, as a result of being silenced this way, Danton et al begin publicly criticizing the government. Eventually, Robespierre the leader of the committee and his cronies trump up charges, have a show trial and get rid of the dissent.

Some have mentioned that the Polish director, Wajda, also intended this to be a criticism of his own nation--which, at the time, was Soviet-dominated and very repressive as well. This makes sense as you see the movie unfold--especially when the government destroys all dissent "in the name of the people". The acting is fine, the story compelling and I have no major criticism of the film.

However, I really wish the ending had been handled differently. Especially because other than history lovers and French people, most probably have no idea that this execution helped to end the government. AFTER this purge of Danton in April , Robespierre himself was executed in July because the country had just had enough--plus, those surviving Frenchmen knew that they, too, would face the guillotine sooner or later if this sick system remained in place.

Some sort of an epilogue would have been nice--such as showing the soldiers coming for Robespierre. He responded by trying to kill himself first, but he only succeeded in blowing off part of his face--still alive, he was guillotined shortly afterward. This would have been a dandy little epilogue and could have been done in about five minutes.

However, not showing a connection between Danton's death and the fall of the government is an odd thing to omit. Georges Danton is given a full blown and full blooded portrayal in the film Danton by Gerard Depardieu. I don't want to write anything like a mini-Carlyle so I won't give you a whole history of the French Revolution.

Let's say that as this film opens what is commonly referred to as the Terror is in full swing as the Revolution gorges itself on blood for real or imagined slights. The two guys responsible for bringing it to where it is in are Georges Danton and Maximilien Robespierre. Robespierre is at the height of his power now and like most tyrants in the making confuses his own political survival with the principles for which the cause he espouses was started.

As his rivals and potential rivals keep being denounced and keep going to the guillotine, there is only one man whose voice can make a difference, Robespierre's former colleague Georges Danton. These guys are as opposite in character as you can get. Danton is a lusty and hard living man who takes his earthly pleasures in great quantity and that's how Gerard Depardieu plays him. Polish actor Wojcieck Pszoniak plays Robespierre one of the creepiest human beings to attain power in any country in history.

Cold-blooded and aesthetic he's merciless in his drive for total control of France and sees himself on some divine mission. Kind of like Osama Bin Laden. Danton would be surprised at how the film shows him going almost Christlike to his eventual doom.

I'm sure that's not how he saw himself, still Depardieu and Pszoniak are remarkable in their work. Danton the film if not accurate history is an interesting interpretation of some very important history. The film is based on real deeds , they are the following : Danton as lawyer participated in overthrowing of king Louis XVI and the proclamation of the Republic , being Minister of Justice in the Convention and founder of Cordeliers club.

Besides , in the film appears other historic personages as Camille Desmoulins Patrice Chereau , nowadays a famed filmmaker , Louis David the prestigious painter , Saint Just a famous Jacobino , Tallien The picture especially narrates the happenings surrounding the facing off of the two main figures , one-time revolution partners , and their posterior fall and execution , though gives results a contemporary parable about the modern Poland , thus Danton is Lech Walesa , the leader of syndicate named Solidarity and Robespierre is Wojciech Jaruzelski who was the Prime Minister who imposed the martial law in Poland.

Gerard Depardieu is excellent in the title character and magnificently portrayed , also in secondary roles turn up awesome actors as the recently deceased Jacques Villeret Dinner game,Crimen in paradise and Angela Winkler The tin drum.

The motion picture is well directed by Andrzej Wajda , justly considered the best Polish director. The flick will appeal to historical cinema buffs and Gerad Depardieu fans.
