"Marie Anoinette": interesting timing

As you know, the new movie “Marie Antoinette” shows the unrealistic paranoia and extravagant spending on the part of royalty while the already poor subjects of France had to foot the bill. It was amazing to me that this movie was released during election time. It was as if I were in some parallel universe with President Bush's policies taking the place of Louis XVI's policies in my mind. Is this coincidence or what?
