3 Musketeers

3 Musketeers

More close to a comedy-adventure story, there is no dull moment in this action packed film which is the first part of the two part movie The Three Musketeers D’Artagnan ( Les Trois Mousquetaires D’Artagnan). The story is set in 1627, where young D’Artagan from Gascony arrives in Paris with the intent of becoming a Musketeer, serving the country. Men attack with swords and guns with amazing choreography whilst women showcase their cunningness and strategical values leading the storyline with few complex characters.

The flamboyant and creative director’s Martin Bourboulon (Eiffel) movie quickly starts gathering speed at the box office with plenty of twists, curves and humor. The continuation of what Martin started in this film is also defined by strong trailer which was very much awaited thus complimenting D’Artagnan.

The English version films have been sold to many territories so it’s highly likely that many would enjoy watching this duplicated version of the historic tale. However, at the time being, it has reached commercial intuition.

Over 40 adaptations have been created from Dumas’ work, all presenting D’Artagnan as athletic and visually appealing actors, from Douglas Fairbanks to Gene Kelly to Jean-Paul Belmondo. Smiie has depicted sed-intensive character D’Artagnan, who wants to be musketeer, as Civil Styles lean and tireless: Cassel Styles Athos, Pio Marmai Ports, Roman Duris Aramis.

Now, let’s add Garrel as Louis XIII, Anne of Austria played by Vicky Krieps and Eva Green, who’s beautiful but cruel as the rich schemer Milady de Winter. In this film, there seems to be always stimulating someone on the screen who is either speaking or acting and for the viewers this is always captivating.

France has enjoyed peace under King Louis XIII for some time now and in fact, his brother is about to walk down the aisle too. Not for everyone that’s the case, as advisors feel that he should be focusing on preparation for the war rather than gearing himself for an extravagant wedding. Despite having some good qualities, maybe it is not necessary to trust Cardinal Richelieu very much. “A King does not have friends. He possesses subjects and enemies,” he states. There is a costing up to the King of England, and the Protestants in their Pillar house, La Rochelle, show signs of plotting war against the Catholics.

Now this French Queen is definitely not calm as she has become romantically involved with the Duke of Buckingham (Jacob Fortune-Lloyd). She makes these adventurous attempted breakthroughs by crossing the English Channel on small boats and having horses ready await on both sides of the channel. Buckingham receives a ring from the Queen as a declarations of love which she later says she desperately needs back. Please don’t be shy to move towards the edge of your seat.

The characters’ motivations whether it is unravelling a murder mystery, liberating a wrongfully imprisoned comrade, whispering a sordid royal secret, or wading into a religious order are rooted in the real and they always add to the tension. There is a playful courtship between D’Artagnan and the Queen’s lady-in-waiting, the very cool and confident Constance (Lyna Khoudri), that is quite charming but feels like there is something more physical than emotional.

People, both men and women, seem to exist as though they are in a race as if they have got nothing more than a day to live. No one ever roams. It is action, or conspiracy that will end up in action, which is the order of the day. Everything and everyone is raring to go. And yet, it is not tiring to witness this, rather it is enjoyable.

These are not the best directed scenes, but they are intelligent scenes, focused on maximizing the bigscreen for the people. No such previous version has enjoyed such technical progress. There are immersive long shot moving angles where several actions happen simultaneously in a first person perspective. Great spaces are dramatically pictured, sometimes dramatically lit with only candlelight.

The wit begins and radiates out in concentric circles when on the very first day of his stay in Paris D’Artagnan, to insult three men and accept three challenges to duels that same afternoon. Some developments occur in a short time frame which may be surprising but are never confusing. The previous day before coming to the capital, D’Artagnan has been shot dead and buried only to be yanked out coughing from a grave that wasn’t very deep. good in the supply and, like many others, it comes as a welcome surprise.

D’Artagnan does not just stay brave, he takes every risk and becomes a full-fledged musketeer in no time. It is very frustrating for the audience to have to observe the developments in Part One, because it ends with a cliffhanger situation quite a jolt. Milady does indeed appear to have died a horrible death during Part I, however, as the second part of the film is named after her, the odds are that she did survive. Any opportunity to bring Eva Green back to life should be actively encouraged.
