I am not a historian, so I am not judging the movie from this point of view.. I see it as a romantic, lyrical poem glorifying the beauty of Austrian land and the wedding that is not fully according to habsburk's etiquette, but nothing can cross the road to love... Although super romantic movie, it does not cross the kitsch treshhold.. full of happy, optimistic poetic dreaming (it is not in verse).. for some it can be too much... especially these days when people prefer watching tragedies, and blood...
