Dumas is undoubtedly an excellent and hard-working writer, but is he a great literature? Home, it's always hesitant to say it. Chinese people like to compare him with Jin Yong-although he is respected and loved by the world, it seems difficult to be elegant-it can be seen that the embarrassing status of popular novels has not changed over the past two hundred years. It is said that when he was alive, Alexandre Dumas was ridiculed by Balzac because of his humble background and the works of the lower Riba; the rumors may not be reliable, but it is not difficult to understand how different he and Alexandre Dumas are when you think about what the old man wrote. Cast your temper. Among the serious writers of the time, Hugo was a good friend of Alexandre Dumas; 132 years after his death, when he finally entered the Pantheon, he was buried next to Hugo.
Does a novel have to be thoughtful? Is it necessary to inspire others? Just to tell a good story, is it a good novel? Martial arts, fantasy, science fiction and other types of novels have always been incompatible with mainstream literature. Stephen King is so popular that we dare not say that he is a writer. The winners of the Nobel Prize in Literature are harder to read except for Marquez; Orhan Pamuk has the ability to write a living murder as boring and boring. Before Shakespeare was deciphered with many profound philosophies, he was also a ninth-rate playwright who loved to talk about pornography. Living in the present, if you are in suspense, romance, travel, heroic beauty, reunion, and tell the story clearly, it seems that you will lose your share immediately. Therefore, Dumas relied on the semi-romantic and semi-realistic "La Traviata", and the word-of-mouth received was not at all inferior to the heroic dreams of his father's 300-volume works.
Closer to home. Another similarity between Dumas and Jin Yong is their attitude towards history in the novel. He himself made no secret of it: history is nothing but a nail for hanging novels. Therefore, no one would judge Zhu Yuanzhang on the basis of "The Legend of the Dragon Slayer", nor should anyone regard "The Three Musketeers" as an introduction to French history. The paradox is that no matter how you despise, the influence of popular fiction is still unpredictable and penetrating-especially after crossing national borders. As a result, Richey stayed in the eyes of many people and was fixed as a conspirator who is keen on power. This consequence is no different from that foreigners learned about Qing Dynasty history by returning Zhugege.
We love to read novels on the nail, and we love to watch movies on the nail. If you say that the movie does not conform to the original novel, it would be a little bit of a laugh. The 2011 version of "The Three Musketeers" even moved out the airship. It is a pirates of the Caribbean story. You can't hold it all to watch it. You have to care about the feelings of the king and the queen, the adultery of the queen and Buckingham, and Kang What is the picture of Stan's age and marital status, and the relationship between Miledy and Buckingham.
Although I don't like to work on film textual research and novels, it's still a bit interesting to face the nail on the nail.
—————-The dividing line of nails————– In
Richelieu's
"The Three Musketeers", Cardinal Richelieu is a face-style villain leader, and may not be as impressive as Miledy. In fact, if you compare the historical importance of the characters appearing in the novel, Richelieu deserves the top spot. Some people even say: Without Richelieu, there would be no modern France.
Adhering to the principle of the supremacy of the monarch’s power and the supremacy of national interests, Richelieu led the then scattered France to break through the blockade of the Habsburg family and the control of the Catholic Church, and forged a powerful central dictatorship in Europe, which was surrounded by rivals. Give the King of Light Louis XIV an excellent foundation. In this process, playing with power is inevitable, diplomatic skills are inevitable, suppressing the people without mercy, suppressing dissidents is commonplace, and controlling public opinion is an indispensable means-even some people say that it was Richelieu who invented news. a. Therefore, it is not wrong to say that Richelieu is insidious and ruthless, but as in novels and movies, it is far contrary to historical facts to say that he used the emperor to make the princes and sacrifice the national interests for personal power.
"My first purpose is to make the king noble; my second purpose is to make the kingdom glorious", Richelieu once declared so proudly in the "Political Will". He said so and did so. At home, he suppressed churches and aristocratic power, and made the monarchy reach its peak; abroad, he became the first person in modern diplomacy with great foresight, and did everything to weaken opponents, and finally made France in chaotic Europe for 30 years. Become the biggest winner in the war and sit back and enjoy success in the face of declining Spain and divided Germany. So if it is true that the three musketeers and Dartignan always trouble him, then who is it that betrayed France?
In the pursuit of a powerful country, Richelieu, as a priest, must have violated dogma, church interests and even secular morals many times. He did have hostility towards Anne of Austria, Queen of Louis XIII. However, with regard to France and Louis XIII himself, according to historical judgment, he has never had a second heart.
Louis XIII.
In fact, although Louis XIII exiled Richelieu in his early years, after Richelieu re-emerged as prime minister, the monarch and his subjects became an inseparable community of interests or good friends. Even in the famous Fool’s Day incident, when the Queen Mother Medici (which is also a terrifying Machiavellian woman) cried and asked Louis XIII to kill Richelieu, the court, including Richelieu himself, thought he was finished, who Thinking of Louis XIII still supporting him domineeringly, he exiled his mother instead. It can be seen that although Louis XIII looks mediocre, he at least knows how to use people without any doubt; and from the perspective of the country, he is also quite discerning. The king is called "just Louis" and has long been rumored about homosexuality; the association of Richelieu's enmity towards Anne and the hard-core friendship between the monarch and his subjects is really so imaginative ~ ~
Anne of Austria and
Louis of Austria The Queen of Thirteen and Anne of Austria, because she is a member of the Habsburg royal family and the daughter of French rival Philip III of Spain, Richelieu saw her displeased and even suspected her loyalty to France. The rumors of love and hate are a bit outrageous. In addition, Queen Anne and Louis XIII have always been indifferent since they reached a political marriage at the age of 14, and they are basically in a cold state. There is no need for Richelieu to instigate the divorce. However, she was also greatly affected by this grievance. After all, after the death of Richelieu and Louis XIII, it was Anne who worked hard to reign for Louis XIV, and reused the successor Mazarin appointed by Richelieu, and finally handed over a powerful France to Louis XIV.
The Duke of
Buckingham, the Duke of Buckingham, is the favorite of Charles I. He is famous for his little white face. It is recognized that he relies on his face and eloquence. It is difficult to say whether he has been unspoken. It is said that there are traces of the diamond necklace. Thinking about the lonely Annie of the spring girl, there is nothing difficult to understand. Compared with Richelieu, this guy is a complete soy saucer.
Musketeers
The story of "Three Musketeers" takes place in the 17th century. The word "musketeer" in the title is Musketeer, which is derived from "matchlock" or Musket, which was originally the name of a certain throwing weapon in Latin. It is obvious from the novel that small thermal weapons were not very popular at that time, and most of the King’s Guards, known as Musketeers, were still famous for their swordsmanship. Although as early as the 14th century, the record of "small hand cannons" appeared in the Italian arsenal, but until the 15th century, when heavy hand-held firearms appeared on the battlefield with extremely poor accuracy and cumbersome loading of ammunition, they were still needed. Mixed with the spearmen, although the lethality is great, it is not very practical. In the 16th century, at the cost of sacrificing lethality, coupled with the invention and improvement of the flintlock device, the volume and weight of the gun was finally controlled at the level of modern rifles, and the era of firearms was truly opened. However, due to poor flexibility in close combat, most cavalry still carry swords with them.
The King's Guard founded by Louis XIII was called the Musketeers. Each of these elite cavalrymen had several guns. There were entourages to help with guns and ammunition, which was equivalent to piled up with money at the time. They are generally the children of aristocrats who fall into the family or are famous and have no money, or are non-eldest sons who have no right to inherit family property and territory. They have undergone rigorous swordsmanship training since childhood. Joining the guard is half for glory and half for living. The king's guards were on the battlefield during the war, but they were stationed in Paris in peacetime. If they weren't called by the king, they could wander around, and they would inevitably cause trouble if they were arrogant. In order to maintain social order and suppress the power of the nobles, Richelieu severely punished the private duels that prevailed at the time and even executed several noble children. Therefore, the conflict between the bishop's guard and the king's guard in the novel is true.
As for the Musketeers and Dateignan, it is said that there are historical prototypes, but they are not important in my opinion. In contrast, I am not interested in going to eight birds.
Finally, I once found the "Ricey" by the Commercial Press. "Leave Biography" is very good-looking, but unfortunately it was borrowed later and has not been paid yet. Hope to find it back someday.
