Compare Prices on Start The Revolution Without Me
I have loved this movie from the first time I saw it and repeated viewings over the years have not diminished it at all. In fact, it seems funnier every time I search for it. The DVD presentation is reliable and the commentary soundtrack by Wilder, Sutherland and Yorkin is worth hearing for any fan of the film. As amusing as anything produced by Monty Python, Mel Brooks or Mystery Science Theater, the comedy is dense and unending. Every opportunity for humor is ancient to mammoth extent, visually, verbally, and physically. The supporting cast is strong (Billie Whitelaw, Hugh Griffith and more greats) and there are many LOL (laugh out loud) scenes. Thank goodness you can view this DVD, so it’s always “smooth 1789″!
I first remember seeing this film at age 6. I remember it because not fully conception history, I belief this was a film about the American Revolution and the climax featured American patriots sacking a palace of George III.

I’m surprised there are so many negative reviews of film here on Amazon. The only people I’ve ever met whom even remember this film remember it because it’s one of their favorites.
The plot: Two sets of twin brothers are switched at birth honest before the French Revolution. One situation is raised in the opulence of the aristocracy while the other spot are raised as peasants.

1789, the rich brothers are sent to infiltrate Louis XIV palace and hold piece in an overly justify coup. The bad site are reluctant members of the French revolutionaries. After a mix up, the peasants become guests is Louis XIV’s palace where they are not only out of state at balls and dinners, but fighting for their lives to survive this overly define coup. In the climax the brothers flit with their girlfriends as the uprising peasants storm the palace in a battle royal.
Why this works:
High production quality: Photography, costume develop, residence direction, and editing are usually pushed aside in most comedies since the focus is on the actors and the jokes they philosophize. `Start the Revolution Without Me’ is brilliantly shot on space to a production degree that dwarfs most original 18th century films and assume chubby advantage of it’s gorgeous setting.
Orson Wells’ narration: I’d never have guessed that Orson Wells could be so humorous. And in fact he isn’t. He narrates throughout as if `Start the Revolution Without Me’ were a serious historical share. This is what’s so humorous. EVERY scene is introduced with the phrase “1789″ the plot only Wells can. After 10 times this really starts to collect comical.
Corsican brothers ham it up: Gene Wilder and Donald Sutherland really go over board playing the overly scandalous and psychotic Corsican twins. Wilder carries his hawk Thor with him at all times. When anyone brings up the fact that Thor is humdrum Wilder flies into violent fits. They reflect themselves invincible gods.
Ridiculously interpret coup plot: Most of the character interaction revolves around a spot for the Corsican brothers to slay Louis XIV. However all the characters retain switching sides so considerable it becomes ludicrous. At a costume ball so many secrete notes are passed that the dance floor overflows with them. The coup is headed by a villain “Escargot” who like Orson Wells takes this absurd area very seriously.
Peasant brothers are the only sane people: The peasant brothers also played brilliantly by Wilder and Sutherland act like we would if we lived in `Start the Revolution Without Me’. They recognize that the inmates are running the asylum and its best to sprint this entire ordeal post hast.
In conclusion, `Start the Revolution Without Me’ is film making at its best. An adventure farce with plenty of splendid humor and truly genius fable telling.
The critics here on Amazon are being contrivance to harsh, saying that it does not compare to Alexander Dumas or other gargantuan literary works. This is a kin to saying that `The Naked Gun’ was not as reliable of a portrayal of terrorism as James Bond. They are to wayyyy different things.
