Nope, it was the other way around. It was an opportunity for the other people to show off that they have a formal and daily relationship with the king.
Not really. The king was really under the control of the system in place. I've read that when Marie Antoinette married and saw all this rigmarole, she was flabbergasted by it and tried to change at least some of it, but really couldn't. You'd think the monarch could do that, but look at Japan's monarchy. They act like the emperor is a practically a god there, yet it's the Imperial Household Agency that makes a lot of the rules the monarch has to follow.
@istn9478 it's a bit of both, honestly. It would show the nobles who was jn charge by having them do these ceremonial practices, but this usually only works if the king was a tyrant like personality ala Louis 14th, of which 15 and 16 never could match up with. Also, it did allow nobles to be pompous over they direct access to the king, but only if the king wanted them to speak or to hear them at all. As is, it was a decent stopgap on rich people having too much control amongst each other
The funny thing is that they actually are showing a sped up condensed version of this. There were nobles whose titles where things like the one who hands the kind his socks or shirt... the dressing took far longer than all this.
Plus all the bitchiness about precedence as princes, princesses, dukes and duchesses jealously guarded and tried to extend their rank and role during these mundane activities.
It may seem like senseless frippery, but it was a clever spectacle used to concentrate control in the monarch and further his absolutist cult of personality.
More than that. These positions were highly prized, because it gave courtiers the attention of the king. He would be constantly barrage by gossip, flattery and subtle hints as to who wanted what.
In Buckingham Palace in the 1830s there was one group of servants to wash the inside of windows and one to wash the outside. When Queen Victoria asked for a fire in her bedroom, the servant who built it was not allowed to light it as that was someone elses job!
As a former housekeeper, there are good reasons why someone cleans windows inside and someone else outside. Different type of job, specially in multistory buildings.
I mean in my office one company washes the inside windows and another does the outside windows. One company provides the milk delivery to each floor, a different one does the tea and coffee. One company supplies the cleaning products, a different one supplies the cleaners. It's just how big buildings and institutions tend to operate due to contracts etc, I think Victoria found it unusual because unlike previous monarchs she and Albert hadn't grown up in the the royal residence so they weren't used to it

Urine tasting and testing, known as uroscopy, was once a common diagnostic tool for early physicians. It came late to the West (late 1600's) but was practiced around the ancient world and kept in practice by the universities of the Caliphate during Europe's scientific "dark age".

I'll always laugh when I see the fireplace to the left of the bed; during my first visit to Versailles way back in 2007, I leaned on it and a docent scolded me .. but she was very kind about it saying "I know you want to look handsome near the mantel but this is a museum!" lol ... Ironically in 2007 Versailles didn't impress me much however, on my following visits it grew to due to major restoration work. In June of 2022 I stayed in the hotel attached to the Palace and though it was very nice, I have to admit at night it was somewhat creepy..
As far as I know, the hotel is what used to be the apartment of the Duke du Burgundy. It was purchased and connected to the main Chateau by Louis XV. In 2022, I stayed there for two nights (June 6-8th) in a room that was 'probably' a servants quarter back in the 18th century. My room was very nice and faced the Orangerie on the 2nd floor. On my first night I had trouble sleeping (nothing new) but, constantly felt as if there was another person following me every time I had to use the washroom which was down a small hallway from the bedroom. On my 2nd night I was sitting up in bed (about 1am) when all of a sudden the bedroom door slammed shut! Though no windows were opened I told myself it was wind/air etc. Then around 3 am, I went to the washroom and as I was walking back to the bedroom the trash-can in the washroom was violently kicked across the room making a LOUD crashing noise! At that sound I ran soooo fast towards the bedroom & turned on every light .... I knew 100% that the trash-can had no reason to fall or fly across the floor cause I just left the washroom and everything was normal. The morning after, sure enough, the trash-can in the washroom was toppled over on the floor on the opposite side of the room!!! As grand as it was, I knew that the door slamming and the trash-can flying over were without a physical cause. The place was HAUNTED....!!!!@@PanchCador
@boxsterman77 that is a very good observation. In architecture this system is known as an 'enfilad' where each room is directly connected to the next by a series of doors which are usually aligned with each other. In Versailles when you stand at the end of one of the wings and look down the enfilad the effect is almost theatrical (as they appear smaller in the distance). Of all the times I've spoken to ppl about Versailles; you're the first person to mention this & it is such a cool feature of the Château
I found it funny when the king was making faces at the mirror when the bishop was giving him spiritual advice to start the day as if to say "Can somebody tell me what this bishop is talking about?"
Louis XIV was so traumatised by the storming of the Louvre, that he created all this nonsense in Versailles to keep courtiers fighting over who would hand him his Whigs, instead of who was going to depose him. Charles II brought some of these habits over to England

Even now we watch the king's morning ritual reenacted by actors on our phones and computer screens 270 years in the future, just as the king would have wanted.
The ironical fact I discovered about this movie is that despite the film being a co-production of France, Belgium, and the UK, this film has no English version (albeit the subtitles), even though I never planned to see the full movie in general.
That'll be your opinion, but I'll confess anyone could still make an English dub if possible. I know if they tried voiceover, it'll be likely for the voices to never connect with the lip synchronizarion. And if they were to remake the movie and hire English-speaking actors to replace the original French-speaking actors, it could be more work unless the producer decides to plan when to handle it by option (it's up to him; I think the producer is a male).
@@th2184_cma_. I supposed what I'm getting at is, there's no need for a version dubbed into English; because there's already a subtitled version. Why bother dubbing when you already have subtitles? That's all that's really needed.

The term ass in shirt came from this period. As underwear had not been invented yet, the king was fiest covered with a long gown or "shirt". This acted like a secind skin and was tucked into the trousers. Followed by top layers and finally a coat, jewels, rings and wig. With no a/c in those days, you can only imagine how unbearable these outfits were during the summer.
Actually they were doing much more, it was way longer, here you can only see the royal family coming to see but then other courtisants would come and perform their duty that was A "honor" like giving him his socks, holding his hair etc..
I imagine with how long that routine takes that everyone must be in a crazy rush gettting themselves ready. "Where is my wig? I laid everything out so I could get ready this morning quickly. You know I have to taste the King's urine at 0900 sharp. Great, now Im gonna have to powder my wig and my face on the walk over. these are not the culottes I set out! You know I can't wear that waistcoat the King has one just like it. Plus you know this one is too tight. It takes over an hour to get to my part and I can't be late even if I'm just standing there"
Louis XIV took a bath only twice in his all life. His mistress were allowed to bring scented napkins with them, when they were together in bed. And, obviously, Louis XIV wasn't the only one. Basically, taking a regular bath was considered a risk. However, people made it until the current mind changed and having a bath with regularity was accepted.
I have to question this statement: Louis XIV, like all members of the Royal family, had bathrooms in their private apartments, complete with tubs and water-heaters. In fact, you can tour Versailles and see the tub for yourself.
@@user-ku6tr4vd6z well, what I'm saying is written in more than one article about the health and hygiene of Louis XIV. I'm not myself an expert in this field; I mean, it's not my job. It's true what you say: there were those magnificent salles de bain for the king and his mistress. But as well there are the chronicles of his physicians describing very carefully what, when and how often the king was cleaning himself. You know what a panier is ? Is a structure that gives a certain shape to the women clothes. So well, at those panier were hanging petit sachets de lavande in order to give a better scent under those very heavy gowns. You know why traditionally weddings are celebrated between May and June ? Because that was the time of the year when the major of people were taking a bath. At least, this what I've been reading.
Beautiful music. What is this piece called? 0:43 - 0:56 Royal family enters and the king has his morning prayer / confession 1:26 - 1:33 The king receives his morning shave 1:39 The king receives his wig and has his makeup done 1:48 The king is fully dressed

Gosh; I'm immediately gonna order my guard to slap that woman with flipping judgemental reactions 😈 They might doing worse for Marie Antoinette..... with cold gave and spreading gossips.

Perhaps directorial vanity, perhaps trying to reflect the character of a hard-lived streetwalker (not often found in the First World in this age) trying to fit in to this place and everyone becoming cognizant of the fact that this is a huge scam?

it had a lot to do as the king was the state,france.you were watching a pageant as important as anything in the east,india,china so on.at one point it became a thing for tourest to get in on.the russian ambassador said he smelled like a wild animal.
I’m in uk so a monarch but I haven’t been to Windsor in ages. But I’d prefer a visit to Versailles 😍🥰💖🌸 I do wonder what would happen if France did decide on a monarch today. It would make history ❤️
It seems foolish but it worked. It kept the nobility fighting for the smallest things, reaffirmed his authority, and kept the court tightly organized. They were to busy fighting and scheming who would get to help him put on his clothes to think about his throne.
😂😂😂😂😂 omg that was so funny how the French royal acting back then and I believe it because and all movies based on that era in Versailles acting the same I can’t 😂😂😂😂😂
Depending on the day they were 300 to 10000; Some because they had to, others because they were curious, to make a connection, to watch, to earn money etc..
@@cioccolateriaveneziana Also, a few generations before the court was often touring from palaces to palaces and bringing their furnitures with them. For example, Charles X did a great "tour de France" and the procession of royal family, courtisants, workers, animals and furnitures was so long and slow that the last one had not left Paris while the first (who came a bit before the king to prepare) were already in the south of France!) They kept movies because "the plague was chasing us way" while well... they were the one spreading the plague across the country.
Charles IX, I suppose. Yes, the rulers had to move around quite often. In German, there is a lovely concoction, "Reisekaisertum". The ruler had to be seen in person in various parts of the country. Basically, Louis XIV broke with the tradition and it became more of a lifestyle, with hunting lodges etc. He was still moving but basically just around Paris. @@SuperLn1991

Dauphin is the title given to the heir to the throne, whoever he might be. The Dauphin portrayed here is Louis XV's grandson, the future Louis XVI. He has been Dauphin since his father's death a few years earlier.
@@saitokurihara9748There was a point to it. All the people in the room are either powerful nobles, royalty or high ranking clergy, and yet all of them have to stand there and wait, or perform tedious tasks like putting on the king's wig. It's a show of power - "you might be rich and have titles, but you still have to quietly wait for me to dress." Plus, since the roles were prestigious, it kept the nobles fighting each other, and not rebelling against the king. Still, it must have been tedious as hell to sit through.
Does anyone know the truth of when the practice of 'taking the pulse' by touching the veins inside the wrist, actually started? Was it this early in history?
Started no, but is documented from AD 100-200. Also drawings in some high-leveled physicians tombs from middle kingdom of ancient egypt shows something, which was probably pulse measurement (physicians is holding someones wrist while looking on bucket clock). So pulse measumerent was probably thing at least since 1800 BC.
Keep the nobles busy and the King knew where they were. Much harder to conspire against the throne if they were fighting over HIS socks.

But as well there are the chronicles of his physicians describing very carefully what, when and how often the king was cleaning himself. You know what a panier is ? Is a structure that gives a certain shape to the women clothes. So well, at those panier were hanging petit sachets de lavande in order to give a better scent under those very heavy gowns. You know why traditionally weddings are celebrated between May and June ? Because that was the time of the year when the major of people were taking a bath. At least, this what I've been reading.

Beautiful music. What is this piece called?
0:43 - 0:56 Royal family enters and the king has his morning prayer / confession
1:26 - 1:33 The king receives his morning shave
1:39 The king receives his wig and has his makeup done
1:48 The king is fully dressed
I think it's "Marche pour la cérémonie des Turcs" by Jean-Baptiste Lully. Or something else by the same composer.
I do not mind the court members watching me... I mean, it is royal protocol - but crowds watching me with serious sharping dead-pan gaze and rather judgemental visage .... Gosh; I'm immediately gonna order my guard to slap that woman with flipping judgemental reactions 😈 They might doing worse for Marie Antoinette..... with cold gave and spreading gossips. People are sabotaging and stabbing each other constantly throughout that era to become favourite..... Malicious propaganda, lies, using religion to climb position are open secrets..... Gosh despite all the sumptuous of dresses, classy architecture, dances, dandy wigs and suave uniforms - what a dangerous time to live. You are literally digging your own grave should you teaming up with the wrong clan
Imagine if you had to go through this pompous crap and have these people in your bedroom upon waking-up!.
The woman playing Jeanne Du Barry is too old for the role.
And she is average and not attractive
Perhaps directorial vanity, perhaps trying to reflect the character of a hard-lived streetwalker (not often found in the First World in this age) trying to fit in to this place and everyone becoming cognizant of the fact that this is a huge scam?
The guy playing Johnny Depp is too tiny for the role.
Every time future Louis XVI was on the screen, I just wanted to close my eyes or hide somewhere (under the chair maybe) because I couldn't look at him😦😧😨😖😣😣the casting for him in this move is an abomination 😓
Completely agreed
It's Louis XV. But you're right. Awful mistake.
@@cioccolateriaveneziana No I really did talk about Louis XVI in this movie! just look at him
El frances suena muy gracioso es como la version gay del español
Geez, he's starting to look like ozzy Osborne
Johnny Deep is look like Gérard Depardieu😁
I see Ozzy Osbourne.
All three have one thing in common: they don't look like Louis XV in the slightest. @@nakatakafka
not at all
🇬🇧👑️
Jack Sparrow's vibes all the time....😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂❤
I didn't know that
moonwalking was a thing in the 1700s😂😅 2:20
They take the time to taste the royal droppings, but not to keep the clock wound up.
What a Carry On!😅
Эй , Франция,у тебя кофе убежало!
That poor doctor, to have to taste the king's feces with his finger, but who knows it might make him a digestive care expert
Этого 15 короля наш царь петр на руках держал как всю францию
Didn't know he spoke fluent French
Ce film est une caricature !
No no ...questa è Versailles
it had a lot to do as the king was the state,france.you were watching a pageant as important
as anything in the east,india,china so on.at one point it became a thing for tourest to get in on.the russian ambassador said he smelled like a wild animal.
C'était déjà pénible d' attendre dans le Salon de l'oeil de boeuf, alors attendre le lever du Roi dans sa Chambre, relève d' une dignité étouffante.
I wish France was a Monarch today.
Its such a shame its not anymore.
I’m in uk so a monarch but I haven’t been to Windsor in ages. But I’d prefer a visit to Versailles 😍🥰💖🌸 I do wonder what would happen if France did decide on a monarch today. It would make history ❤️
Thank you.
👑🏰⚔️🛡️⚜️⚜️⚜️💖💎💐🤴👸💍🎂🎈
Non merci 😂
At least it's not ruled by a self-proclaimed "emperor".
🌹🌺🌻💐💙💓💞💝💗💖💕👑👑
The doctor that every morning must eat the shit of the king 😢
Um ... no. He was tasting the urine to determine sugar content. A "sweet" taste could be an indicator of the onset of diabetes.
It seems foolish but it worked. It kept the nobility fighting for the smallest things, reaffirmed his authority, and kept the court tightly organized. They were to busy fighting and scheming who would get to help him put on his clothes to think about his throne.
This is literally my morning routine wdym?
It's funny that they portray the Dauphin as a tall, handsome prince when he was a shy, chubby boy.
no he was the tallest man in court
@@CCI320 ok, but he wasn't a prince charming like they treat him there
😂😂😂😂😂 omg that was so funny how the French royal acting back then and I believe it because and all movies based on that era in Versailles acting the same I can’t 😂😂😂😂😂
Asia Argento would have been Electric on screen With Johnny depp
How many courtiers were there in Versailles??? Besides, the other palaces were empty?
Depending on the day they were 300 to 10000; Some because they had to, others because they were curious, to make a connection, to watch, to earn money etc..
The other palaces were empty and always ready to serve for short stays. They had to be quickly furnished, though, when the king decided to move there.
@@cioccolateriaveneziana Also, a few generations before the court was often touring from palaces to palaces and bringing their furnitures with them. For example, Charles X did a great "tour de France" and the procession of royal family, courtisants, workers, animals and furnitures was so long and slow that the last one had not left Paris while the first (who came a bit before the king to prepare) were already in the south of France!) They kept movies because "the plague was chasing us way" while well... they were the one spreading the plague across the country.
Charles IX, I suppose. Yes, the rulers had to move around quite often. In German, there is a lovely concoction, "Reisekaisertum". The ruler had to be seen in person in various parts of the country. Basically, Louis XIV broke with the tradition and it became more of a lifestyle, with hunting lodges etc. He was still moving but basically just around Paris. @@SuperLn1991
Jeanne du Barry was young, blonde and very beautiful. The actress who plays her is...?
The actress is the wrong person 😂😂😂
So is Johnny Depp. I mean, only if he was meant to play Louis XV. If the goal was to make him to another Tim Burton figure, then he was a fine choice.@@ErickHumboldt
My thoughts as well. With that severe overbite, she's quite unattractive.
E o ator Jonh Depp???
Isso
On ne tourne pas le dos au roi !
02:13 The Dauphan? I know it means the Crown Prince, but if memory serves I believe I have heard that word being used to describe someone who's an idiot...? Am I imagining this or can someone confirm?
Dauphin is the title given to the heir to the throne, whoever he might be. The Dauphin portrayed here is Louis XV's grandson, the future Louis XVI. He has been Dauphin since his father's death a few years earlier.
@@dhgemein2 Yes I know, but not my question. Has the word been adopted in more modern times to describe someone who's an idiot?
Not in my dialect, @@feonor26.
@@feonor26 No, that must be your imagination.
This whole mess was so complex that the King got up early to prepare himself to be formally “awoken.”
My sincerest congratulations to Monsieur Depp for his outstanding victory at the Cannes Film Festival!
My sincerest condolences to the real Louis XV. He didn't deserve this portrayal.
"The king's wake"?????
Who translated this??
Is just a movie
The King of Scotland in the 1400s had a young noble who was known as “sguabadair an t-seilich rìoghail” , the wiper of the royal bum.
LOL THEY MADE JOHNNY DEPP A KING!
Did it really hapen that way in reality way back then ? I mean, when you get up from your bed, people will watch you like that ?
Only the king of France. Not his subjects or other kinds/queens.
@@hblask4192 it must be pain in the ass for the king to have his life watched like that everyday
@@saitokurihara9748There was a point to it. All the people in the room are either powerful nobles, royalty or high ranking clergy, and yet all of them have to stand there and wait, or perform tedious tasks like putting on the king's wig. It's a show of power - "you might be rich and have titles, but you still have to quietly wait for me to dress."
Plus, since the roles were prestigious, it kept the nobles fighting each other, and not rebelling against the king.
Still, it must have been tedious as hell to sit through.
And I thought the Peasants only had a hard time.
No, they were eating cake all the time...
@@cioccolateriaveneziana Fair enough.
The director was such an egomaniac, she cast her 47 year old horse face to play a 25 year old renowned for her beauty. Ridiculous.🤦🙄
Men do it all the time. Why can’t she?
@@CordsZ When did a man do that? I want a specific example.
Two wrongs don't make a right.
Hey! Isn’t that the actress that played in the fifth element she played the Deva?
I know ! I saw how her mouth is all Gum and Teeth 😂😂 like girl ...
@@katiekluesner1686 the face yes but not the vocals
Does anyone know the truth of when the practice of 'taking the pulse' by touching the veins inside the wrist, actually started? Was it this early in history?
Started no, but is documented from AD 100-200. Also drawings in some high-leveled physicians tombs from middle kingdom of ancient egypt shows something, which was probably pulse measurement (physicians is holding someones wrist while looking on bucket clock). So pulse measumerent was probably thing at least since 1800 BC.
It could have been since the dawn of humanity, because pulse checking is one way to check if someone is alive or not.
it was popular all over the wolrd. This methos was cultivated in China even to early modern age.
Exactly like his father Louis XIV lol
Great-grandfather, actually.
What! No shower?! 🛁
Que realiza cheia de frescura 😅😅😅😅😅
Imagine the smell…
Very few latrines. Several thousands living in the palace... People pissed and shited behind curtains and under the stairs. Horrible
@@NicolasViard-kc9dm That's a legend. It never happened.
Curious why the family has to come in for his morning ritual...
Only the men attended the levee of The King.
How that dirty pirate gets ready these days im sure.
They had mouth wash and washes to look like back then.
The EUrabian's Queen Ursula von der Layen is the modern Marie Antoinette.
Não é muito diferente de hoje em dia kkkkkkkkkk
