wow.
im not saying you are an idiot..... but you are.
1 read a history book. and get your facts straight
2 accept that this is an ANIMATION MOVIE MADE BY FOX. SO NO THERE IS GOING TO BE NOTHING ACCURATE ABOUT IT! I mean the story is that anastasia lives...
3 russia was a wreck after and during the revolution. its a civil war in a reforming country. what do you want? roses and cake?
4 holding grand partys and "displaying" their wealth was tradition. they had no choice. historicaly Nicholas and alexandra disliked the festivities, unnesesary splendors, the wealth that the family was suppose to show.
5 yes there were grand partys thrown during the war.... its new years.....!!!!!!!! and yes the princess would get a jewlery box made of presuse metals and stones. she is ROMANOV. (traditionaly they got faberge eggs.) will you give the queen a piece of paper for christmas saying "op sorry this should be enough for you."
6 yes there was classism in the palace. dimitri was a kitchen boy. (historically a kitchen boy was the las servant to leave the royal family before they and 3 of their servants were executed). would you not tell a line cook or a dish washer to go back to the kitchen if you found them in the ceo's office?
7 really. if you like this movie you hate freedom.... ..... wow
8 before the revolution russia did have the money. they were at their height right before the revolution. great agriculture , industrial strength, and status. now the revolution did last for many years under the tzars rule. Nicholases grand father Alexander II was bombed by revolutionaries and died hours after causing Alexander III to be exeptionaly brutal to said revolutionaries. but Unfortunatly Nicholas did not inherit his fathers brutality (refusing to execute anyone. no exemptions) which was a great cause of his downfall. also not wanting to be tzar in the first place.
9 and lastly. the royal family did not use their wealth. they paid the servants out of their own pocket. nicholas had one set of military closes that he wore and patched himself. hey did not eat fancy meals. porridge, hot water, and black bread. the princeses spent most of their time as first aid nurses. and shaved their heads because of a vitamin deficincy that some of the sisters had.
so in conclusion. shut up. and change your icon. red
