Do you ever get sad knowing that you'll never know all the languages and so since translators make choices (they have to) and things sometimes don't fully translate you can never experience every book exactly as it was originally intended to be read?

I watched The Man in the Iron Mask for the first time today

I thought it was mostly a medieval action movie with horse-chases and sword fights. I truly didn’t expect it to be a heartwarming movie about camaraderie and love

You get the romantic love between D’artagnian and Anne

You also see the love in the loyal comraderie between the musketeers

You see the parent- child love that Philippe feels towards D’artignian, the Queen, and even Athos

You even see the love in the comraderie between the way the soldiers cannot kill their respected commander, preventing them from killing him

This goes to show how Louis, a king who doesn’t carry himself with love, becomes the antagonist of the story

I watched the Man In The Iron Mask (1998) the other day and honestly, i think it's my fave adaptation of the og srories after the bbc series, because it's the only one I know of that gives Aramis such a central role (not to mention he's played by Jeremy Irons, which I happen to love), and it's done so well. When I was a kid and listening to my grandma reading the book to me, this is exactly what I imagined Aramis to be, personality-wise. Calm but witty, and ready to spring into the fight. And recently, when I read 20 Years After, this is what I imagined him looking appearance-wise. So this movie was honestly just perfection for me, not to mention the music and the dialogue between the four was just so well done! I also loved John Malkovitch as Athos and Gabriel Byrne as d'Artagnan.

The only drawback for me was Porthos, because I feel like too many adaptations turn him into this foolish comic relief caricature while he's actually a very lovable and loving character, with more depth, that deserves respect!

But yeah just... Aramis was always my favourite of the four and this movie just fed me so well on that aspect.

(and that ending... PAIN.)

In The Man in the Iron Mask, Phillipe spends six years locked in a dungeon with his face hidden from all by a locked iron mask. The three musketeers rescue him, and Athos in particular takes to looking after poor Phillipe.

Literally one of my fav comfort whump movies!

Jeremy Irons > Charlie Sheen !!!

Although I wish the rest the original Musketeers of that decade returned ask older versions of the Characters .🥺

THANK YOU YES.

THIS

will forever be BETTER than this

Like, I know that the vibes of the two movies were ENTIRELY different, but I just adored the way Aramis was portrayed in the Iron Mask. Maybe I am immensely biased because "The Man in the Iron Mask" was the first movie with the Musketeers that I saw as a child, so it was a "first love" kinda thingy for Aramis (and D'artagnan too. Gabriel Byrne has ruined me with those roses fml), and it was also what then prompted me to read the books and truly cement my love for Aramis in general as a Fictional Character.

But going back to the ask, Jeremy Irons!Aramis was the only one for me until THIS HANDSOME GREMLIN HERE came along.

AND OMG YES, YES.

IT WOULD HAVE BEEN AMAZING TO SEE THE OG 90s Musketeers back as their characters!! Honestly, we can never get enough of Musketeers, so COME BAAACK.

(I honestly need more Kiefer!Athos. that Blonde Bear of a man was EVERYTHING in that role).

BLOND BEAR OF A MAN. (his fault if more than a decade later I was all over Obi-Wan in the Attack of the Clones. THIS MAN'S FAULT).

ANYWAY.

Thank you so much for this ask, I was delighted to find it in my inbox and was truly happy to have the chance to just fangirl a little bit! :D <3 thank you!

Me about the Inseparables:

Athos, noblest and best of friends, for a man as smart as you are you can be a shocking idiot.

Porthos, you have a loyal heart and a strong arm, and are ever ready to aid your brothers when they are in need. What more could anyone ask?

D'Artagnan, brilliant mind, you really are the best of your friends, but you still do need them.

Aramis, you little kriffer, you're on thin ice.

(Note: this applies only to book canon Aramis, not to his movie versions. Those of you who have read The Man in the Iron Mask, however, know exactly what I mean.)

They really should make a new "The Man in the Iron Mask" movie, imagine the Angst, the Whump, THE FOUND FAMILY that this new production would have.

The film from the 90's did the walking, now I want to see them RUNNING.
