First of all, as a person who has a comprehensive understanding of the historical background of the film, let me introduce the characters, the heroine Queen Magore, the daughter of Henry II and the Queen Mother of Medici. They have ten children in total, including 6 adults. A successor to the throne, François II, Queen Mary, Queen of Scots. The second is Charles IX, the king of the film, and then Henry III, the Duke of Anjou in the film, the title of the crown prince of France at that time, the youngest brother, the Duke of Alençon, who has not appeared in Valois. Elizabeth, the elder brother of the Duke of Guise. The youngest daughter, Magor, married Henry of Navarre, at the wedding of the film's first appearance.
At that time, the religious war was actually divided into three forces, namely the French royal family Valois family, which is the above. The new leader was Henry of Navarre, the future Henry IV, the grandson of Louis XIV, the Sun King, and his cousin, the Prince of Condé. For example, Henry of Navarre was the Prince of Bourbon, because he was the most recent Grand Prince by blood, so in the end he was the most suitable heir to the throne, not because he was the son-in-law of the Valois family, and the blood relationship was already very strong at that time. Far away, there are eight generations.
Let's talk about the characters, first of all, the heroine Magor, who is famous for her debauchery in history and has an affair with the Duke of Guise. The mind in the original book is also very good. Without him, Henry would not be a king. Note that he is a king. There is only one emperor in France, named Napoleon.
Henry of Naval, this film is like a country man from Chicheng, but he is actually very cunning. Well, I like it. There is a scene in this film where Henry goes to negotiate with Magor on the wedding night, and finds that someone else is hiding in the room. Test Magor's sincerity. The military talents are outstanding, and can only be compared with Henry, Duke of Guise and Henry, Prince of Condé.
King Charles IX, completely controlled by his mother, tried to use Corigny to get rid of his failure. This is very different from the original book. In the original book, Charles IX is much more insidious. He, not the Queen Mother Medici, led the assassination activities. Just because life is a tragedy, he resolutely entrusted his illegitimate son to Naval, and became a famous duke later.
The Empress Dowager Medici, whose first three sons became kings one after another, is actually an unstable woman. Historically, because of repeated compromises between Protestantism and Catholicism, both parties were dissatisfied, compared with Ma Niangniang on Xiandao. Later, Henry IV set the principle of reconciliation and did not compromise, so the reconciliation was successful. She is also a pioneer of French cuisine, and historically she brought Italian cooking from Florence to Paris.
The Duke of Guise, who didn't make many appearances, was the ruler of the powerful Northern Lorraine family, the leader of the Catholic die-hards, who led the siege of Henry III on Barricade Day, and then was killed by his own two strokes, which cheapened Navarre's Henry. The military is powerful, Kongwu is powerful, and there are many lovers.
Henry, Duke of Anjou, the future Henry III, looks ambitious in this film, but in fact, he is similar to his brother, and he is also a softie. Later, he was forced into a corner in the PK throne with the Duke of Guise and Navarre. The last generation of the Valois family produced Zhan Wu slag.
The Duke of Alençon has no sense of existence at all.
Prince Kong Dai has a little more drama.
Dumas originally wrote this novel mainly to show the cruel historical event of the St. Bartholomew's Day massacre. He described it as a wonderful story. In the original book, Larmor and Cocona met in a restaurant, and the restaurant owner At that time, it was preparing for the massacre, and there was a very wonderful description. The soundtrack must be praised here. The live soundtrack of the Holocaust is magnificent, with a mad rhythm, and completely accurately describes the mentality of the carnage. The clips expressing the love between Larmor and Magor, with the soundtrack of the children's chorus, also very accurately describe the sadness of their love.
