Danton	comment	Danton (French pronunciation: [dɑ̃tɔ̃]) is a 1983 French language film depicting the last weeks of Georges Jacques Danton, one of the major figures of The French Revolution. It is an adaptation of the 1929 Polish play The Danton Case by Stanisława Przybyszewska.The film stars Gérard Depardieu in the title role, with Wojciech Pszoniak as Maximilien Robespierre, and Patrice Chéreau as Camille Desmoulins. It was helmed by Polish director Andrzej Wajda and was an international co-production between companies in France, Poland and West Germany. All supporters of Danton (with the exception of Bourdon, who would later betray him) are played by French actors, while Robespierre's allies are played by Poles.Not always rigidly historical, the film was accused of drawing parallels between the Reign of Terror during the French Revolution and the situation in then-contemporary communist Poland, in which the Solidarność movement was struggling against the oppression of the Soviet-backed Polish government. While such interpretation was denied by the filmmakers, the communist government banned the film and went as far as denying it being a Polish co-production.

Danton / int_3fff5717	comment	Genius Cripple: Couthon shows mechanical genius with his moving wheelchair and determination to convict Danton without regard to his own comfort by jumping on Amar’s back to go and Legendre to sign a confession that there was a plot by Desmoulin’s wife and Danton’s non-imprisoned supporters to surround the Revolutionary Tribunal.

Danton / int_45cd286c	type	Corrupt Politician
Danton / int_45cd286c	comment	Corrupt Politician: How many on the Committee of Public Safety see Danton. Historian Mona Ozouf notes "As to the question of venality Danton’s contemporaries were in no doubt.” Danton’s new bourgeois lifestyle afford by his corruption made him soft and tired. Ozouf argues that Danton’s change to leniency in moderation of the Terror was “striking, since his reputation until this point was hardly one of lenience."

Danton / int_4ef62a4d	comment	Full-Circle Revolution: Historian Mona Ozouf argues that Danton’s change to leniency in moderation of the Terror was “striking, since his reputation until this point was hardly one of lenience.” A striking moment in the film is when a prisoner shouts at Danton, “So there is Justice. The creator of the Tribunals is destined to die” and then spits on him.

Danton / int_5d3e7c6	comment	Kangaroo Court: Danton and his supporters see his trial as this. Robespierre only allows seven jurors to participate in Danton's trial because they are the only ones sure to convict him. The legal requirement is for there to be twelve jurors. Antoine Quentin Fouquier-Tinville tells Robespierre this but Robespierre does not care. Robespierre also has Danton and his supporters tried with common criminals.

Danton / int_a0c55654	comment	The Revolution Will Not Be Civilized: The Terror started in September 1793, which means that that the Terror has already been going on for five months. Historically, Danton thought that “the people should have the right to live without giving a thought to the fact that they happened to be in the midst of a revolution.”
