The reason why Louis and Marie didn't have children for awhile is b/c he had phimosis,he had an operation later and finally was able to give them children-it wasn't a fear of sex.Furthermore,I don't believe they even mentioned the Diamond Necklace Affair-which was probably the most plundering to Marie's reputation (google it if you don't know what it is). Also,the mob that marched in Versailles were ALL women,or men dressed as women(they thought it was less likely that the troops would fire upon women) AND, after she curtsied to the mob, Layfayette (whom was not even in the movie, or at least he did not play a large role in it) came out too, he bowed to her and kissed her hand. Layfayette was considered a hero to the French, so the mob changed their attitude, and instead of yelling "Shoot! Shoot!" (as they did when she first came out) they started saying "Vive la reine!" Or, long live the queen. None of that was in the movie.
