The watery tenderness behind the iron face

The 1998 "Man in the Iron Mask" is not so much an adaptation of the last part of the third part "Viscount Bralozhina" of Alexandre Dumas' "Daldanyan Trilogy", but rather a " The fan works of "Three Musketeers" come exactly. And it was its betrayal of the original work that finally met my liking, although not quite. I clearly described in my mind the image of Dardanya where I stayed after watching "The Three Musketeers": this is a tall and robust young man with dark hair and a handsome face showing a kind of ambition. The young man’s arrogance, with a playful moustache; his temperament is witty and flexible, looks reliable, and a bit mischievous. It is this mischief that shows that he will involuntarily show up when meeting beautiful women. Fengliu even has a slight frivolous smell. In short, this is a very cute guy, not mature enough compared with Ados, more like a half-green and half-red peach. So when "The Man in the Iron Mask" began, a horse wandered, the horse's knight's cloak flashed, and the horse stared at it. The noble elegance emanating from the bone marrow and the melancholy that can't be concealed between the clear eyebrows, like a sharp knife It pierced my heart, making me unable to extricate myself

Most people talk about "The Man in the Iron Mask" most, but Leonardo DiCaprio plays two roles: the cruel and tyrannical brother Louis, and the kind and gentle brother Philip. I admit that Leonardo is really beautiful in this movie, with water-like blue eyes and sunny blonde hair. He is arrogant and domineering when playing the brother, gentle and gentle when playing the brother, suddenly as dazzling as the sun, and suddenly as the moon. Qingling, coupled with exquisite costumes and settings, Leonardo is indeed worthy of the nympho of many women. However, just as Dardanyan in "The Three Musketeers" is to Ados, Leonardo is in front of Gabriel Byrne (yes, he is the actor playing Dardanyan), but A chick covered with gorgeous feathers, but with obvious wings.

Many people criticized that the movie paired Dardanyang with the Queen Mother Anna, and I just thought it was a magical stroke. In fact, after watching "The Three Musketeers", I don't think that the love between Queen Anna and Dardanyang is impossible. Who said that the queen can only fall in love with characters like the Duke of Buckingham? Dardanyan almost perfectly relieved the queen from the threat of Cardinal Richelieu. What's weird about such a swift, intelligent, brave and loyal man, the queen was so attracted to him? Regarding whether Louis XIV was the parent and child of Louis XIII, it has always been disputed in historical circles. The film will show Dardanian, which has a prototype in history, but the character whose image is basically completely fictional is set as Louis X. What's wrong with Si's father? Speaking of subverting the original, what is the "Swordsman's Daughter" starring Sophie Marceau?

Gabriel's interpretation of Dardanyang is perfect. "I know that to love you is betrayal against Francie, but not to love you is betrayal against my heart." This is a sentence from Dardanyang when Dardanyang and Queen Mother Anna met in the small chapel. In "The Three Musketeers", the young Musketeer who loved the lovely Constance and was fascinated by Miledy disappeared. Instead, he was a Musketeer who hid his passionate and deep feelings in his heart. team leader. His clear and deep blue eyes were filled with the care and nostalgia for his lover that had to be suppressed and forbeared. The tears of sorrow flickered under the dim candle flame, which made people tremble and heartbroken. In the Moonlight Garden, he rode up on a white horse, a bright red rose blooming, with a soft kiss, the flower of love stayed on the steps. They were speechless, but the lingering enthusiasm was evident between the waves of the eyes. Poor Anna, she couldn't predict that this was the final farewell.

At the end of the film, Queen Mother Anna, dressed in a black dress and a black veil, stands in front of the white tombstone like a sculpture, with a red rose in her hand. Compared to the tears and tears that are usually used in movies, such a vague look can better reflect her heart-breaking grief of losing her lover. She stood there, like the incarnation of Neobe. Expected to be broken every year, bright moon night, short Matsuoka.
