There is no victory, only evil forces that never bow their heads

I watched two French movies recently.

One is D'Artagnan et les trois mousquetaires "The Three Musketeers", the heroic romantic swordsman; the other is the comedy and funny L'aile ou la cuisse "Gourmet".
Whether it is content, theme or genre, it makes people feel that it is a movie that does not fit in at all, but I think the plots are surprisingly similar.

Romantic musketeer hero D'Artagno (Vincent Elbaz), comedy master gourmand Dussmann (Louis de Funès), all struggle.
The struggle, despite its ups and downs and even near crises, resulted in an exhilarating "victory". The ending is even more the same -
in the new biography, Satan's servants are finally beheaded, and when D'Artagno and other knights walked away with heroic pride, the screen switched to a head just on the water - not Servant of Satan, but the executioner who beheaded him
Part 2, the gourmet eventually became an academician and was respected by society for defending French cuisine. However, when a group of academicians celebrated the victory of gastronomy and were about to eat, Dussman dragged from the bread. Out came the pocket watch he had lost - which he had accidentally dropped into the food factory he was attacking with all his might...

and the scroll screen slowly pulled up and the music began to fill, one impassioned, the other hilariously grotesque.
The thinking is all the same - there is no victory, only the evil forces that never bow their heads.
This is French cinema, a super perspective of life.
