But wasn't the crown prince was filmed in English ?

[Imperial_Grounds]

Yes, it was. But it seems to be done by the same company, I checked online too and it seems to be that this series is also made by the same countries, Germany, Austria and Itally.

ok, i finished downloading the first part. if i put it on youtube, how should that help to create subtitles??'

[Eric_Lowe]

Maybe just desribe the scene and watch the action ?

[scot954]

Does anybody have subtitles for the french movie, sissi, l'imperatrice rebelle? i kinda need it. it can be in english or even in french.

[Imperial_Grounds]

No, there are no subtitles for that one sadly, neither for 'Le Secret De Mayerling'...
If you understand French maybe you can watch the movie, or creat some yourself?
I'm studying French simply because I want to understand that movie

[Eric_Lowe]

The French are fasinated by Sisi, although she spent more time in English speaking England & Ireland.

I have always wanted to see this movie to. I heard it is one of the more historical correct productions.

Did you? I saw it once on TV and thought it was absolutely terrible. Didn't at all find it in any way accurate, but I don't remember anything now as it was about 20 yearas ago.

The producers went to some lengths to promote the film back then but it was pretty much ignored and has been so since.

[Eric_Lowe]

Really have to see it. Any one have the youtube link ?

I didn't think part two was any better. Just as inaccurate.

Just like in Sissi they cannot get rid of the "happy couple" myth. Scenes such as when Sisi in support of her husband put her hands on Franz Josef's shoulder in the presence of Bismarck, or her statements "I have waited for you all my life"  and "From now on Maman won't ever go away again" (speaking to Gisela), made me laugh out loud. In reality Elisabeth quite neglected her children after little Sophie's death, but here she's presented as the perfect mother and wife.

Here there was nothing of her depressions, of Franz Josef's infidelities, of the empress's formal ultimatum to her husband to choose between her and Gondrecourt.

And unfortunately Maximilian's death DID NOT bring Sophie and Elisabeth any closer together.

I think Charlotte was the only character I thought convincing.

The film wasn't even good drama as the dialogue and acting seemed trite, mechanical and uninspired.

I agree with you. Received the DVD yesterday and watched it last night......So not impressed. I have no idea why in this day and age it is not possible to produce a movie that adheres to history. Beautiful scenery and costumes, but so sugar sweet and fluffy!!

The talented Italian actress Cristiana Capotondi as Empress Elizabeth (Sissi).





I have noticed that it was already discussed a bit about this beautiful mini series before.

She looks more than Sissi in the images that you posted below than in the ones that I posted about her a few months ago
