Which revolutionary do you think Voltaire and JJ would get along the best with?

Hi, thanks for the though-provoking ask!

For Voltaire, I think there's an obvious choice in Marquis de Condorcet, given that they knew each other, most likely got along decently well, and seem to have shared great many views.

I can't really see Rousseau getting along particularly well with anyone, especially in his later years. I do think him and Robespierre shared some character traits, which is perhaps part of the reason why JJ was Robespierre's favourite (introversion? social anxiety? not sure how to best describe it). I can certainly picture them getting into a lengthy philosophical discussion about the nature of society though!

I also think Éléonore Duplay could possibly match JJ's lofty ideas about the ideal selfless, self-sacrificising republican woman?

Oh, but a part of me would love to see how the meeting of JJ with Charlotte would play out. Just to see the world burn.

It's so insane and funny to me that film directors of biopics feel the need to add fiction to make the film appear more interesting.

Like. why.

You don't need to come up with anything to make history more compelling.

WHY make anything up, when Friedrich Nietzsche had to buy fucking silk underwears for Richard Wagner once, Abraham Lincoln did wrestling, Victor Hugo lived in a street of his own name when he was alive, Alexandre Dumas fucking shut down a racist with an epic comeback, Edward VII had a sex chair, Tsar Nicholas II has nudes, Igor Stravinsky and Pablo Picasso were arrested for pissing in public together, Oskar Kokoschka commissioned an Alma Mahler fetish doll which he likely had sex with, Roald Dahl wrote some weird and questionable fetish-fanfic books, Salvador Dalí sold a blade of grass to Yoko Ono for $10 000 because he thought she could do witchcraft with a real strand of his hair, etc etc...

Do we REALLY need to make shit up when we have all these batshit stories. DO WE REALLY??????
