| Beaumarchais | comment |
Beaumarchais (in French Beaumarchais, l'insolent) is a 1996 French historical Biopic based off a play by Sacha Guitry, directed by Edouard Molinaro and starring Fabrice Luchini, Sandrine Kiberlain and Manuel Blanc. It tells the life of Pierre Caron de Beaumarchais, the French playwright, spy and activist.In 1773, Beaumarchais (Luchini) is preparing the first performance of The Barber of Seville, when Gudin (Blanc), a would-be poet who has just arrived in Paris, asks to meet him. Thanks to a letter of recommendation by Voltaire, Beaumarchais accepts to hire him as his secretary and biographer. So Gudin becomes involved in the many facets of the life of Beaumarchais: playwright, womanizer, judge, political activist, spy, arms dealer... | |

Kangaroo Court | |
| Beaumarchais / int_5d3e7c6 | comment |
Kangaroo Court: La Blache has connections and he has paid Goëzman, the public prosecutor, so he is sure that Beaumarchais will be condemned by the corrupt court. Beaumarchais does not even try to prove his innocence: he just tries to expose the corruption of the system. | |

The Casanova | |
| Beaumarchais / int_5e2e55e4 | comment |
The Casanova: Beaumarchais seduces many women over the course of the film (Marion Ménard, another actress who plays in The Barber of Seville, Marie-Thérèse Willermaulaz, one of the young mistresses of the Prince of Conti). Marie-Thérèse Willermaulaz, who loves him, is sometimes desparate by his many infidelities. | |

Token Minority: Césaire is the only black character and he is Beaumarchais's servant and he only says a few words. Justified because this is 18th-century France. | |

Externally Validated Prophecy | |
| Beaumarchais / int_a2cc787 | comment |
Externally Validated Prophecy: During his trial against La Blache, Beaumarchais tells that France has had enough of the corruption and the injustice of the monarchical system and that the people will make things change. The viewer of the film shoud know that this happens short before The French Revolution. Beaumarchais tells the actors of his play that, in the future, author's rights (in French droits d'auteur, i.e. copyright) will be recognized. | |
