The Empress didn't smoke! It all comes from mix-ups and rumours. The director of that film Marie Kreutzer says: "My aim was to tell a story within the facts that could have been like this." A resounding no! As she shows the Empress she definitely wasn't and she couldn't have been like that either. She was also physically and mentally fit. It was the time of the riding stays in England and Ireland where, as is well known, she had received great admiration from the local community - especially from Bay Middleton, one of the best riders. At that time, however, it was still very popular and quite handsome. The film is supposed to show the aging Empress who, at the age of 40, is no longer an ideal of beauty. If she wasn't happy with something, she just walked away or didn't go at all. She was rather shy, reserved and spoke very softly. That is not at all the nature of the true Empress "Sisi". She bangs on the table and doesn't act imperial at all. The Emperor plucks off his fake beard, the Empress walks around puffing on cigarettes and showing the middle finger. This film is complete historical nonsense and stupid.
