The short film is called ‘Overruled!’ SDG#16
This is the journal that I, Louis Chanel, have kept over the years of the French revolution. The decade where I have lost many people, and bits and pieces of my sanity. Through monarchies and republics, through life and through death, what I have experienced from the year 1789 to 1799 is present in these pages.
We had started this whole revolution with a monarchy ruled by a reckless spender, we ended this revolution with a republic. Though much has changed, things are still mainly the same. The poor is still poor, the rich are still rich, and those who are dead, will be lost forever. Life is better now than it was at the beginning of this revolution but I feel that I have lost too much for these changes to be worth it. If things were different than maybe I wouldn’t mind, but now I feel as though the only way I can be truly content is if I am reunited with those i’ve lost through death.
A translation for the non french speakers:
French- A vaincre sans peril, a triomphe sans gloire.
English- to conquer without danger is to triumph without glory.
The French revolution will always be remembered throughout France and all of Europe, going down in History books all over the world. It was a bloody path, paved by guillotines and murder, from a corrupt monarchy to a republic. Starting in 1789, in Paris France, and extending all the way to 1799, the French revolution would be responsible for tens of thousands of deaths across France, some by guillotine, others by cannon fire. Starting with a dictator and ending with a dictator, it makes people wonder, was the French revolution worth it for the French or was it just a bloodbath from the lower class in order to get power?
