Queen of Versailles

In this movie, I viewed Jackie at first a women that just likes to get dolled up and be like a princess all the time. When she would show off all her shoes and clothes in her closet I could not believe it. Having all those clothes and shoes is not necessary. But as the movie was playing I started to like Jackie even more. She started to show a caring side of her. She cared a lot for the pets that had either died, or went into hiding and she cared for her children. Even though there were nannies to clean and take care of the children, Jackie still cared and showed love towards them. Sure she would spend a lot of money that they did not have when the market crashed but she did buy gifts for the kids. Jackie showed how she cared from her own perspective instead of maybe how another mom would show love.

I could see Jackie differently if it was not for her husband David. The way he acts and how rude he is to Jackie I did not like. When the market crashed he could have taken it a little less harsh. I understand it is upset to lay people off and lose money but it should not have been taken out on the family. He did not even acknowledged the family like a father should. The way he acts I believe has an impact on Jackie because he never tells her anything and she feels left out. I believe when she shops it makes her feel better and when she gets her face done it makes her feel good. Things that are not necessary make her feel good since her husband does not make her feel important.

If the 2008 housing market did not occur the movie would be a different. The family might show and act more as a caring family instead of the dad being rude to the family. Since he would not be stressed out then he could spend more time with his kids and actually be part of the family. Jackie and the kids might take different actions if they were more of a family, for example, Jackie might not shop as much and the kids might not talk back to him like they do. The family would be more of how a family should and they would take consideration of one another. Also the main difference would be is they would have no problems to talk about in the documentary because they would all be a family and none of their problems would not have occurred.
