The story of The Man in the Iron Mask is very different between the novel and the movie. In Dumas' works, Zeus, one of the Three Musketeers, secretly rescued Philip, the twin brother of Louis XIV imprisoned by his mother, and designed him to sit on the throne instead of putting Louis XIV in the Bastille. But a day and a night later, the plot was discovered by the musketeer captain Dardan Young, who helped Louis XIV regain the throne, while Philip was imprisoned again, with a mask on his face forever.
In the film The Man in the Iron Mask, Philip was sent out of the palace just after he was born. Later, Louis XIV knew that he was still alive, so he sent Fukai, the finance minister, to imprison him on the island of Park Jung Su in San Marg. Later, the interior ministers Colbert and Dardanian were extremely dissatisfied with Louis XIV's dissolute life, so they designed to rescue Philip. Philip in makeup was mistaken for Louis XIV at the court ball, but the real Louis XIV was put on an iron mask and imprisoned for life.
The story of The Man in the Iron Mask is like a mirror, reflecting the darkness of French autocracy. During the reign of Louis XIV (1643 ~ 17 15), the absolute monarchy in France reached its peak. The "sealed signal" system prevailing at that time created a terrible atmosphere for the upper class. The police have a blank arrest warrant stamped with the king's seal and can arrest anyone without trial. Many people have been held in the Bastille for more than 10 years, but no one knows what crime he committed, and even prison officials don't know who arrested him according to his will. The story of The Iron Mask Man happened in this historical background. Although the plots of movies and novels are fictional, there was indeed a prisoner wearing a mask (made of black velvet and whale bones, not iron) during the reign of Louis XIV. Who is this? For hundreds of years, people have never solved this historical mystery. Historian Voltaire once said, "This prisoner is undoubtedly an important person", but he also said that "when he was sent to St. Margaret, no important person in Europe disappeared". This is really a puzzling mystery. Although the identity of the prisoner is not clear, there is no doubt that he is the victim of a court struggle. Nufa, the military affairs minister who knew the prisoner's secret, died suddenly. Presumably, he committed suicide by taking poison according to the king's will. A large number of files involving mysterious criminals in his files have also been cleared out. According to Voltaire, before Miard, the last minister who knew this strange secret, died, his son-in-law Marshal Lafayette knelt in front of his father-in-law and begged him to tell himself who this man who was only known to the world by the name of "Iron Mask Man". Xia Miard replied that this is a state secret, and he swore never to reveal it. /kloc-in the 0 th and 8 th centuries, Louis XV and Louis XVI successively ordered many investigations on The Man in the Iron Mask, but the world knew nothing about it. Is it unclear, or is it deliberately blocked? It is said that Louis XVI promised to keep the secret of the iron mask man.
