I love ❤ their acting here - it is so genuine.

Zamor as an adult, during the French Revolution, turned on du Barry and effectively sent her to the guillotine. She found out he was pro-Revolution and dismissed him. Not sure if the situation was avoidable. Certainly he was an unfortunate victim of the culture of the time, and essentially so was she. Nobody won.
When I walked down this hall I instantly understood why anyone would rebel. Imagine living in filth while others lived like this. The whole palace is overkill.
German aristocrats were nuts over having black chamberlains, every nobleman worth his salt wanted one in the 18th century. You can see the impact of this trend with many inns being called "the Moor" or moors used in imigary as a symbol of culture and status. Having one was similar to having a rare exotic animal today
I have to say that all I got was that’ Du Barry loved him and showed him deep perfection and care as to say for the King’s daughters who are absolutely mocking him and completely being racist so I have to say good on her for showing love and affection despite that I learned that he betrayed her in the end that says a lot about her character bravo, although you were betrayed in the end
This scene is so beautiful. Some paint her (Du Barry) as a monster. I know more about Louis XIV & Louis XVI, not much on Louis XV. Although she may only be noble via title only, she shows such motherly love, affection & human compassion for this child, who much like herself - albeit that she mainly decided on her own preference for security & a better life, was pucked from his mother, his homeland & paraded at court, kept as an asset & companion!
I think it's all tragic all around. Zamor was powerless and he's a slave and sent to serve Du barry. Du barry was a commoner and a sex worker who was elevated to the 'highest' status she could due to the affection of the King. His anger for her for sending him away after he openly supported the Jacobin led to her death by guillotine, a death that recorded her final moments as something real and fearful. Zamor might not have died by that manner, but like you said, he's die in poverty and misery. Neither one had it 'good.' I think the movie was to show some sort of different side of the Du Barry story. 99% of the Du Barry retelling usually was viewed by the other side or via Marie Antoinette's perspective, so all negative. Lives are not just black or white, some shades of gray existed. The movie suggested that there was true affection between the King and Du Barry, and they're also living humans in the past.

it used to be popular to have a black slve child follow you around as a slve or page boy/girl. this went out of style in this period but people still do it apparently, but in England most have sold back their slve
It was common practice to have an "exotic" slve/page/pet of some kind. Basically anyone who was brown or black, or Asian, sometimes even little people. They simply had to be visibly "not white" or unconventional looking, with different skin or a disability, but Black slaves seemed most popular at the time.

Zamor (christened Louis-Benoit) (1762[1] - February 7, 1820) was a French revolutionary from Bengal,[1][2] who, as a boy of 11, was taken from Chittagong, Bengal Subah, Mughal Empire (now Bangladesh) by slave traders. Later, he was gifted to Countess du Barry and became her servant until informing on her to the Committee of Public Safety. He participated in the French Revolution and was imprisoned by the Girondins.
Oh yeah, a token black character whose only mission is to deminstrate that the heroine and the authors are not racist 🙄 how progressive and thoughtful of the director and the screenwriters 🙄 Idk, may be it's just me, but to me it looks like an ironically racist gesture. They literally gave him zero personality and zero meaning to the story. His whole personality is that he is black and his sole meaning is to show that du Barry is not racist (=she is better than everyone around her).
Idiot, Zamor is a historic character and was a child trafficked to the slave markets and sold to Louis XV procurer. This was not a ludicrous modern attempt to not seem racist. Zamor was real and worked as a valued slave to Madame du Barry. The royals thought the whole world was there for their amusement. It was common for European royals to buy blackamoors as slaves. You see them in portraits. Read your history.
To me, Zamor gets treated like a pet rather than an actual human. I mean, for God’s sakes, they put him in a box AS A GIFT
Remember this was 1700s Europe
They put strippers in cakes that pop out and dance
The kid was lucky he wasn't a slave to the Ottomans or the Indians. He gets to keep his balls.
At 0:59 she doesn't say "You must be far from your country" but she says "How exotic it is." when Zamor tells her his name
mmmm, thanks. That’s different
The way I see. I do believe that du Barry loved Zamora like a son, but when he was part of the revolution party. She knew she had to send him away which I think broke her heart.
He denounced her and got the Committee of Public Safety to arrest and execute Du Barry
There is some historical evidence that she always regarded him as a pet. You can check this out in some well researched sources.

I read the same.
@@Mftjan2000 considering he persuaded the Public Safety Committee to execute her, she probably was
