She was so charming and graceful on the stage that she aroused admiration and praise from the princes and nobles in the theater to the common people in the market. She proudly shows off the gorgeous jewels that the king has given her, but she doesn't know how someone who loves her deeply feels. What does this have to do with her? How could she know that the jewelry she was using to show off was actually the result of the hardships her brothers had gone through in their near-death lives? In her eyes, the world is peaceful, festive, and happy; but Diego Alatrist's world is dangerous.
What Maria wants is a man's love, a comfortable life, if not luxury. She is charming and charming in life, and she does not lose on the stage at all. Alatrist loved her, but never thought of possessing her; Maria thought of him, but never thought of understanding him. Alatriste was rebellious, but fell under her pomegranate skirt; Alatriste was good at fighting, but was defeated by her amorous feelings. Life is like a play, but without a well-written script, everyone will not know what the final closing scene looks like, whether it is applause or booing. Alatrist understands that he is only a small pawn who is called by the powerful and can not only charge for the interests of the Spanish motherland, but also die for the shady purposes of the ministers who are competing for power. As said in the introduction, he is not noble or upright, just a warrior at the mercy of others in a specific historical period. Even so, Alatrist has a tenacious quality, he is arrogant, never bows his eyebrows to the kings and dignitaries, and sometimes even expresses a kind of contempt and arrogance in person. For all the fair or unfair treatment he suffered, he readily accepted it and faced it indifferently. If he restrained his character a little bit, maybe he could have been promoted to a rank, become a general to make a fortune, and even become famous in history. Alatrist is so maverick and unruly, with an arrogance and wildness in his bones, like an untamable wild horse. And when dealing with friends and comrades in arms, you can "entrust a three-foot orphan and send a hundred miles of life", indeed a magnanimous gentleman. At this time, he showed another side, calm, delicate, tolerant, generous, chivalrous and courageous. Inigo, the orphan of a comrade-in-arms, was entrusted to Alatriste on his deathbed. He was fascinated by his personality, and he had the shadow of Alatriste, but he was taught by the poet in literature and so on, which made him appear more polite.
Because of his sudden kindness, Alatrist was exiled to the Turkish battlefield by the prime minister. In the days of hell, life and death in the trenches are unpredictable, lack of clothing and food, hunger and cold. Finally, the days of the shroud of horse leather are over, and as soon as I set foot on the land of Spain, I know that there is a new task. Although he remembered it in his heart, he also acted on deaf ears. In the theater, she even showed off her luxurious jewelry. The jewels were worthless in Alatrist, and the blood spilled on the field was still vivid in her eyes, and there were horizontal and vertical scars all over the hand that touched Maria. But what can you expect a woman to know! "What do you know?" What can Maria know? What did the prosperity and decline of empires have to her to do? She is just an insignificant woman, as long as her vanity can satisfy other things, it doesn't matter. She even thought that everyone's life was as frivolous as an actor. She didn't understand that a man and a soldier had dignity, and nothing could surpass it. What is a king? What is gold?
After a warm night, Alatrist went to work again for the king's shady deeds. Whatever assassination, robbery or whatever! A soldier, his life should be like this. If he does not serve in the army, he should work hard for the tasks assigned by his masters. If he is favored by the goddess of luck, he can still live in the world after the end, and he can receive poor rewards. . Alatriste is used to it. He is very clear about the decline of the empire and the decline of the river. In the palace, the powerful and powerful are gaining favor, intrigues, various forces are intertwined, and corruption is everywhere. He is not a cynical person, he is not noble, he sees everything in his eyes, all he values ​​is his dignity as a soldier, if the rights of the soldier cannot be guaranteed. Alatrist also received a reward from the king after completing the mission this time. There was nothing special about the gold necklace in his eyes. It didn't matter how much it was worth. necklace jewelry. One winter morning, when the golden sunlight filled Alatrist's bedroom, he decided to marry her. But the result left him extremely disappointed. Alatrist, like an angry bull, marched forward, and anything that stood in his way had to be destroyed. The Duke's revered status and the swordsmanship of splendid fists and legs are meaningless in his eyes at this moment, and the woman's house is only a few steps away. Suddenly a ruthless face appeared, our noble king, the proud Alatrist finally lowered his noble head. The widow's glimpse was meaningful as the duke and king departed in their lavish carriage. Maria actually cooperated with the nobles to ambush him, we can't blame too much, she is just a weak woman.
At the same time, his adopted son, Inigo, was also poisoned by love, and life is better than death. Over the years, the dream of love has haunted Inigo, but at the last moment, he was betrayed by his family. Although people around him have repeatedly reminded Inigo that women are poisonous snakes, the stubborn Inigo believes in love and Angelica. Inigo believes that love is right, but forgets social barriers. Inigo, who was in pain, went to the casino to spend his life. Living was just pain, but Alatrist wanted him to live, and even took out the pearl necklace that was originally used to win Maria to redeem his life, but the casino owner didn't buy it. Finally, the old comrade-in-arms helped him out and rescued Inigo with the capital he originally planned to go home and start a family. Adversity sees the truth, not a few gold coins and silver coins, but the happiness of the old comrade-in-arms for the rest of his life.
The scene of the monastery is tragic and tragic. Alatrist finally puts the necklace around Maria's neck. Does Maria understand? What does the glamorous and luxurious life of princes and nobles compare to this? It's too late, remorse, grief, self-blame, there's no point, no need to say anything, Alatrist doesn't care. Looking at each other silently, only a thousand lines of tears.
What's the point of the last war appearing in the movie? Bright and beautiful, the scene is real, is there any suspense in the face of the proud and unpaid Spanish soldiers led by the famous Prince Condé in French history with his well-equipped and well-trained legion? The solemn march together renders a tragic ending, nothing more.
Alatrist is a man who stands above the ground and a dignified warrior. He has no lofty morals or great achievements. He lives in his own way, faces everything bravely, and wins the respect of those around him. Although it is very tragic, But this is Alatrist.

    The final battle was very well done. The actors, lines, costumes, and architecture of the whole movie are very classical and exquisite. It is also very beautiful to analyze it with a single sub-shot, but MTV for more than 2 hours is really not easy to watch. .

    5-star film, 5 stars for those who like it, and who do those who don't like. Epic masterpiece, the only shortcoming is that 5 novels are compressed into 2 hours, which is a bit rushed
