Ça ira pour toujours

For the first time I feel FEELINGS.

As soon as I started watching this my throat got all tight and I felt my heart getting happy and I wanted to bounce around dancing.

COHEN AND ATTIA ARE BACK BITCHES.

I think it's time to be a fan of 1789 on facebook.

ÇA IRA MON AAAAAMOUUUUR! The host family is leaving for the weekend and I plan to dance my ass off to this song the whole time and watch this video forever.

THE COSTUMES

LOOK AT THE COSTUMES

Who cares if the plot is ridiculous? I want COSTUMES and awesome music.

Now I *definitely* have to stay in France next year or I'll miss this show! I'll au pair for another year if I don't find something else.

Very fun video, and catchy song! Not to mention the number of ridiculously attractive people who apparently were running about in 1789.

Seriously, though? You create a musical set in France, 1789, and you make it all about "Les Amants de la Bastille"?

Welp, it's Cohen and Attia. Their job is to reach out to fourteen year olds, not Ravenclaw types. If you want a musical about the actual revolution that's what Boublil and Schönberg's La Revolution Française is for I guess. That one never quite got my attention though... but LM people say it's a good thing. And I hear it's coming back soon or something!

As for Dove and Albert... they're good for dancing around the room singing your head off. There's a plot synopsis up on the Florum; the guy singing is Desmoulins and the hot young guy works for him. The hot young girl works for Marie Antoinette. Ooh.

LRF is crack. Complete and utter crack. The best track is totally Marat splashing around in his bath and convincing Charlotte Corday to get naked with him. The best song is Marie Antoinette the night before her execution, but she has no character development other than that song.

I love it to death, but it's not a real musical, despite the Charles/Isabelle love story; they exist mostly to attempt to tie all the crack together as far as I can figure out. Also, one needs a high tolerance for cheesy 70s music, as there is no way in hell "Chouans, en avant" should have become any sort of hit. It's more of a cracktastic concept album that I cannot imagine getting staged with any sort of reasonable flow between scenes.

"For the first time I feel FEELINGS" is the most accurate reaction.

This is just what I needed, really.

I'm definitely in love with the song and with the video, too. I love the idea, and yes, this gives me FEELINGS too, every time I listen to the song!

The dancing! The costumes! Unf. This looks swell and I want it all right now.

oh. my. god.

The costumes are amazing. The singer is freakin hot. The plot doesn't actually look ridiculous. It seems to be about 'la prise de la Bastille' (not sure how to translate it). If well adapted, it's actually an awesome theme for a musical.

But I actually hate the music.

Dude, this looks totally sweet. I love the song, and the awesomely polished look of the visual portion of this is awesome.

La musique me sort par les yeux, je ne suis même pas allée jusqu'au bout du clip. Enfin bon, pour MOR je n'avais pas du tout aimé le premier titre non plus, et pourtant au final j'aime bien. A suivre, donc. ^^

Woohoo! This song is great. The hot young guy...oh yes yes yes. Also, the whole high-stepping/dancing soldier thing is fantastic.

And I swear that window Desmoulins stands at in the slow bit is the same from L'Assasymphonie. Yes/no?

I've been jumping around the house today singing "Ca ira mon ahhhhhhhh-mourrr!" with my dog thinking I'm crazy. :D

I can't wait until we get more songs. I'm less familiar with this than with Adam et Eve, but already I like this better (even though AeE has Solal and Nuno and Thierry Amiel... *sigh* ). Do you know the actors are that are featured in this video?
