The Mercy of Louis XIV

After watching this film, "One for all, all for one", upside-down love and deep fatherly love were all performed brilliantly by the screenwriter and director, and there is no reason to use the theme too much.
Corresponding to the era of the "Sun King" Louis XIV, China also had a Kangxi emperor who was called "the emperor through the ages" by later historians. The two emperors had a lot in common - they spared no effort to strengthen the centralization of power: Louis preached that "I am the country", Kangxi did not say much, and the TV series were often played.
It is just a novelist's whimsy that just a few retired guards and a "Iron Mask of the Bastille" who is still a historical mystery can overthrow the power center of a highly centralized empire. Louis XIV's was never merciful, and his subordinates didn't have so much power and capital to operate.
From this point of view, the film has too many flaws, such as the boldness of the musketeers and the weakness and surly of the emperor.

    Typical classic remake, star-studded, except for those famous faces, I still love THE FIRST VERSION

    The story is a bit cliché! But it's fun to introduce three old men together! Uncle J is still handsome
