  • Mata Hari, the famous exotic dancer, has come to represent the power of beauty and feminine seduction. The most influential men of her time surrendered to her. As the first World War broke out across Europe, France saw performer Mata Hari, a Dutch national with the ability to freely cross borders, as an intelligence asset. However, Mata Hari is later convicted of spying for Germany and executed by firing squad. Was she a double agent? Or a scapegoat? After more than 100 years, the question remains: Who was Mata Hari really, and was she guilty?

    Mata Hari was a woman ahead of her times. She came to Paris a divorced woman and reinvented herself as an exotic dancer and took a multitude of wealthy lovers. But when war hit Europe, what the French had loved about her was now looked upon with suspicion and contempt. She came from a neutral country and could travel wherever she wanted and she spoke several languages, so that also brought her under suspicion by French authorities. The only "secrets" she ever passed to Germany were commonly known gossip. And she was too naive to realize that, as she had fabricated stories about herself and her past, others could do the same thing to her but with fatal consequence

      beautiful is sometimes a cause of misfortune to many beautiful women. Doesn't matter if she is intentional or unintentional getting involved with those powerful and wealthy people. When she get involved with these dangerous people, wouldn't surprise that many of them are mentally ill or psychopath aka some aristocrat, she is getting herself in real big trouble.

    The bottom line is besides mata hari having,if not classical beauty, very striking and unique looks, she has something that not all people who are nice looking have, and it's something that can't be learned.. you either have it or you don't and mata hari had it...swag. mata hari had serious swag and that attracts people.
    The thing that I think I liked best about the lady was that even though she had wealthy and powerful lovers the man that she fell in love with and wanted to marry was a soldier, not a particularly powerful man in the bigger sense,nor a wealthy man is the man she wanted to spend the rest of her life with. That tells me that money was important to her while she was responsible alone for her well being and survival but not so important when it came to love and not only that but when he lost sight in one eye and damaged his throat and lungs due to exposure to mustard gas she loved him still. She didn't leave him like some might when they realized that it might be a more difficult future than what was imagined. Just loved him still and wanted to be by his side. I loved that about her most of all.

    Did she ever have a woman friend? It's a red flag of sorts when a woman has no true friends. She doesn't come off as very balanced to me, and though the myth is well in place there isn't much known about the person. Her children were beautiful, and that separation is very sad.

    I don’t know if Mata Hari herself knew exactly who she was . She created a fantasy life for herself and sold herself as such to her adoring audiences and many lovers. I have no doubt she told each of these men a different story of who she was . She did and said what she felt she had to in order to keep herself cared for and men spending money on her . In the end I think by trying to talk her way out of her situation she instead talked herself into it so deeply there was no way out and she paid the ultimate price for her story telling . Do I think she was a legit spy ? No I don’t . I think she made it up thinking it would save her . She didn’t understand at that point there was no way out for her no matter what she said . They wanted to believe she was a spy and they would get their “proof” one way or another . Whatever else she was Mata Hari was a beautiful mystery and so I think she will continue to be studied and debated for many more years to come

    I have a few questions which I am burning to know the answer to , if anyone serious ( such as a historian) is in the know ( and not just speculating) . It is thought that her husband passed on syphilis to both herself and to her two children and that her son died of an overdose of mercury poisoning( which was what was used to treat this condition at the time.) at age 2. Also that her daughter (possibly) died at 21 from the same illness or mercury poisoning also. ( I think all this is mentioned in this documentary but i've watched a few both in English and in French)
    It is also commonly known that Mata Hari had a lot of different sexual partners.Can you be a carrier for syphilis without having symptoms yourself, and if so does that mean that she passed syphilis all round Parisien society? (If this were true that would sort of make her a monster in my eyes if she was aware; knowingly passing a serious venereal disease around) However if so why is there no mention of some of these men dying from syphilis?
    I note she only got pregnant twice ( or should I say that only two children are noted; i guess she could have had abortions) and the contraceptive pill was certainly no-where around at the time. Could it be the case that the syphilis made her infertile or that she was infertile for some other reason? I know when she was captured they used as evidence a liquid used for contraception at the time ( but which was also used by spies at the time if I have understood correctly?) It is highly unlikely that this was a foolproof method of contraception. I was wondering if there was any more information available anywhere about this?
    There are definately many different narratives regarding this woman although also significant things which align, especially her childhood and her precociousness and awareness of her charms . These have traditionally been women's sources of influence . I don't go along with the total victim narrative. Biology plays a part in where our lives lead us ,and nothing is black and white in this respect. She was definately ambitious and seemed to enjoy her life in the limelight . She liked powerful men ( especially those in uniform) and it seems she both enjoyed them and manipulated them and vice versa. ( No doubt I'll get some throw-back for that !)
    By the way this is undoubtedly the most thorough documentary on the life of Mata Hari ,and with the added bonus of French subtitles. Parfait !
