There are a myriad of arguements about your
supposedly higher ideals where you can not explain why I should think you believe in any unprovable
higher ideals and
morals, if you can not also have a faith in other unproven concepts, but whatever.
Another thing that was a bit off - putting (and I mean this in a strictly historical and filmcraft way), the film seemed to go out of its way to stamp our current
morals, mores and politically - correct culture to events
supposedly taking place in 18th - Century France (with minorities holding
high positions in the Parisian Court and even an openly gay character introduced).
