This so-called prince Kud should be the Duke of Condé, the greatest French commander in that era. The movie hints that the prince raised troops against him in the early days of Louis XIV's ascension. I wonder if it was because of the Huguenots or the sling movement. . As for Tim Rose's favorite Lozunno, there is indeed someone in history. His best deed is to make women from the royal family down to the brothel fascinated to death. Although the man in Shi Zai was less than 1.7 meters tall, he became the sister of the Sun King and made the big princess not listen to the king and royal family's dissuasion and insisted on marrying Lozunno who was five years younger than her. "French Historical Anecdotes" said, "The attitude he took to women is: the more indifferent a woman is to him, the more kind and attentive he is to her; the more a woman admires him, the more annoyed and annoyed he is towards her. Even hatred.” But then he got into a big game, and he greeted Mrs. Montespoon, the mistress of the Sun King, and when he was rejected, he faced her violently insulting her in front of the court lady. So he was thrown into prison by the Sun King. In the prison, this guy pretended to be a lost prodigal son, and ran away several times in secret by digging tunnels. It is said that once he was playing in a tunnel and actually got into the cell of his former Treasurer Fukai. This Fukai was the favored minister of the wealthy and enemy country back then, and the protagonist of the film, Vettel, was also famous for organizing the famous Fukai banquet with him. But just because Fukai was too rich, the tree attracted the wind, and was finally imprisoned by the Sun King for life. Fouquet was shocked when he saw Lozunno, who was turning in by plowing soil, in the cell, because Lozunno was just an inconspicuous little clerk under him before he went to prison. The two old officials who fell out of favor even forgot to escape from prison after they met. Instead, they brag about each other's courage together. Fukai disdained cooperating with his former teammates, and Lozunno also dismissed Fukai's old-eyed and dim-eyed and useless. When the jailer caught them, they were still quarreling with each other. . .

Vatel quotes

  • Marquis de Lauzun: The king sends you his compliments. And he begs the favor of taking a cup of chocolate with you in your room at midnight.

    Anne de Montausier: With me?

    Marquis de Lauzun: [into her ear] May I offer you my congratulations. Although, as you can imagine, that came as a great blow to me. After tonight I cannot hope for deliverance from the pain of my own desires. So, may I suggest my rooms at ten?

    Anne de Montausier: Alas, monsieur, ten o'clock I have an even more attractive offer. Her Majesty has asked me to delouse her spaniel.

  • François Vatel: Harmony and contrast. All beauty comes from these two things. You see, Colin, few object are beautiful or ugly of themselves. To know that is the beginning of being an artist.
