The Man in the Iron Mask	comment	The Man in the Iron Mask is a loose 1998 film adaptation of a subplot of The Vicomte de Bragelonne (1847-1850) by Alexandre Dumas. The original serial novel is the second sequel to The Three Musketeers. One of many versions, the film was the directorial debut of Randall Wallace, previously known for writing Braveheart. The main stars were Leonardo DiCaprio, Jeremy Irons, John Malkovich, Gabriel Byrne, GÃ©rard Depardieu, and Anne Parillaud.The year is 1662. Gone are Cardinal Richelieu (died 1642) and Louis XIII of France (died 1643). France is ruled by Louis XIV (DiCaprio), son of his predecessor. He is a militarist who is already bankrupting the country with unpopular wars, which are condemned by dissidents called Jesuits. Privately, Louis follows a hedonistic lifestyle and keeps many mistresses. Meanwhile, the peasants of Paris are starving and a food riot begins. Louis XIV commands one of his advisors to send rotten food to the rioters. The riot stops temporarily, the people get sick, and the advisor is executed for "his" crime.So, what has happened to the Musketeers? Aramis (Irons), Athos (Malkovich), and Porthos (Depardieu) have retired from service. Aramis is now a priest. Porthos spends much of his free time frequenting brothels he owns, though his impotence causes him great suffering. Athos married and had a son that he raised as a single father following the death of his wife. His beloved son Raoul (Peter Sarsgaard) currently serves in the French Army. Only D'Artagnan (Byrne) is still in the service of the king.Enraged by receiving rotten food, starving people march to the gates of Louis's palace, and the guards prepare to fire. D'Artagnan prevents a massacre from occurring, winning over the crowd with his popularity and promise to speak with Louis over the matter. He also thwarts an assassination attempt on Louis by a man who exhorts "feed your people." However, things change abruptly. Raoul is about to marry Christine (Judith Godreche), a woman who Louis wants to add to his stable of mistresses, so Louis has Raoul killed in a Uriah Gambit, leaving Louis free to seduce Christine; the king also orders the assassination of whoever is the secret leader of the Jesuits, which happens to be Aramis. Now both Aramis and Athos have reasons to hate Louis, and they recruit Porthos in a plot against him.Aramis is aware that Louis has a twin brother. Said brother Philippe (DiCaprio again) is the titular Man in the Iron Mask, kept prisoner to prevent him from claiming the throne; he is gentler and more compassionate than Louis. Their plot involves releasing Philippe and having him impersonate Louis, effectively replacing the king with a new one. They will have to face D'Artagnan, who is still loyal to Louis, and will also have to learn a secret Anne of Austria (Parillaud), widow of Louis XIII and mother of the boys, has kept to herself.

The Man in the Iron Mask / int_1282bf4f	type	No Celebrities Were Harmed
The Man in the Iron Mask / int_1282bf4f	comment	No Celebrities Were Harmed: The character of "Christine" is based on a historical figure: Louise de La ValliÃ¨re (1644-1710), the chief mistress of Louis XIV of France from 1661 to 1667. The character is clearly identified in the novel but renamed in the film. Probably, the scriptwriters thought that having a relationship between characters named Louis and Louise would be too confusing for the viewers. Which ended up giving the film a love triangle between wide-eyed Christine, all-around good guy Raoul and a villainous third party (who ends up) wearing a mask.

Unlike other Three Musketeers movies, their uniforms are black instead of blue; the current Musketeer uniforms are blue and red.

The Man in the Iron Mask / int_229c2ec8	comment	Uriah Gambit: King Louis XIV, upon finding out that Christine is already engaged to Raoul and is completely loyal to him, sends Raoul to the front lines to die in battle. Though the plan succeeds, it also backfires since it gains Louis the utter enmity of Raoul's father, one of the legendary Three Musketeers. (And he ultimately doesn't get to enjoy what he wanted either because Christine is completely miserable with being his mistress, eventually finds out the truth about what happened to Raoul, confronts him - or the man she thinks is him - with her knowledge, and finally commits suicide out of despair.)

Louis XIV's chamber has a hanging portrait... of Louis XV, Louis XIV's great-grandson, who was born nearly fifty years after the period covered by the film.

The Hollywood ending applied to the film was almost exactly the opposite of the book.

When Louis demands to know where Christine is, D'Artagnan, understanding this intent, throws open the window to let Louis see for himself. The gambit fails - Louis is disgusted by the sight, but quickly tells D'Artagnan to "get rid of it".

The Man in the Iron Mask / int_ec7da60a	comment	Beethoven Was an Alien Spy: Louis XIV had a twin brother that was imprisoned from birth and became the (historical) Man in the Iron Mask. He was then abducted and substituted with this brother by the Musketeers. Also, D'Artagnan (another historical figure) was the real father of both.

The Man in the Iron Mask / int_eda30d58	comment	0% Approval Rating: King Louis. Nobody likes him, and with good reason. Only D'Artagnan is loyal to him because he is Louis's father and is nurturing a dying spark of hope that, somehow, he can make the king change for the better.

The Man in the Iron Mask / int_f8e010ce	comment	Evil Cannot Comprehend Good: To a point; Louis at least understands factors such as how Raoul's sense of duty would compel him to return to the front if ordered, but assumed that the four Musketeers' loyalty to the title of the king of France would trump their own feelings about him as a person.

The Man in the Iron Mask / int_fa686f29	comment	Weird Moon: Just after he's been freed from the prison for the first time, Philippe can't sleep and ends up at the window gazing at the full moon that he had struggled so hard to see while in prison. The moon is huge. Doubles as a Melancholy Moon given the poignancy of the emotions in the scene.

The Man in the Iron Mask / int_fccd06b6	comment	Beware the Nice Ones: After he mortally wounded D'Artagnan, a livid Philippe is all set to slice Louis in half, though D'Artagnan pleads that he spare his brother in his dying breath. He complies...and instead puts him in the mask and coldly sentences him to be locked in the dungeons for the rest of his life. The epilogue claims he eventually swayed from that too and let Louis live in the country in secret.
