in this film , as in his best works , carné was greatly influenced by feyder , who developed a style of french filmmaking that exhibited a strong visual flair , with realism created in the artificial environment of a studio . the style also involved elaborate scripts , intelligent dialogue and actors that could display

at a time when film schools were non - existent and training in filmmaking was acquired through assistantship , no one could have been better prepared for a brilliant career than marcel carné . he worked as assistant to rené clair on the first important french sound film , sous les toits de paris , and to jacques feyder on the latter ' s three great films of 1934–35 . though he had also made a successful personal documentary , nogent , eldorado du dimanche , and a number of publicity shorts , it was only thanks to the support of feyder and his wife , the actress françoise rosay , that carné was able to make his debut as a feature filmmaker with jenny in 1936 . if this was a routine melodrama , carné was able in the next three years to establish himself as one of europe ' s leading film directors .
in 1976 , he made what turned out to be his last film , a documentary called la bible , which was released both theatrically and to television .

their collaborative film works would dominate the french film industry for ten years . but the professional relationship did not survive long after world war ii , and the team ended their working relationship in 1947 .
the collaboration of prévert and carné was sustained during the very different circumstances of the german occupation , when they together made two films that rank among the most significant of the period . since films in the mode of 1930s poetic realism were now banned , it is hardly surprising that carné and prévert should have found the need to adopt a radically new style . remaining within the concept of the studio - made film , but leaving behind the contemporary urban gloom of le jour se lève , they opted for a style of elaborate and theatrical period spectacle . the medieval fable of les visiteurs du soir was an enormous contemporary success but it has not worn well . working with very limited resources the filmmakers—assisted clandestinely by trauner and the composer joseph kosma—succeeded in making an obvious prestige film , a work in which frenchmen could take pride at a dark moment of history . but despite the presence of such players as arletty and jules berry , the overall effect is ponderous and stilted .
the film daily felt the film was a
pleasing human interest story nicely suited for the family
, although they felt it might be at a disadvantage due to the lack of well - known actors in the cast . harrison ' s reports gave the film a good review , saying it was
wholesome ,
with
deep human appeal
. they felt the production and direction were excellent , and they enjoyed the performances of the acting crew . they rated it as an excellent children ' s film . motion picture daily gave the film a slightly less warm review , feeling that the picture was artistically satisfying due to its similarity in style to european films . despite that slow pace , they applauded edward sloman ' s direction , and stated the
. . . film ' s beauty is simplicity abetted by touching performances and noteworthy direction done with a fine sense of feeling and understanding .
the motion picture herald said the picture was full of
. . . romance , drama , comedy , tragedy , deception and triumph . . . ,
and thought it attempted to

the pair share a certain fantastic conception of realism , with film seen as a studio construct in which fidelity to life is balanced by attention to a certain poetic atmosphere . carné ' s coldly formal command of technique is matched by prévert ' s sense of the logic of a tightly woven narrative . if it is prévert ' s imagination that allows him to conceive both the amour fou that unites the lovers and the grotesque villains who threaten it , it is carné ' s masterly direction of actors that turns jean gabin and michèle morgan into the 1930s ideal couple and draws such memorable performances from michel simon , jules berry and arletty .

in 1936 , with the help of feyder and his actress wife , francoise rosay , carné secured his first feature - length film assignment , directing jenny . though this first feature film has been described as a
routine melodrama ,
carné would soon establish himself as one of the leading directors in france . moreover , his works would be praised throughout europe as well as the world .
the film is based on a classic book by maria louisa de la ramé ( ouida ) and was published in 1872 . presumably the clothes should reflect the netherlands in the 1870s . an online edition of the book is available at :

jackie wears a variety of outfits like sterotypical little dutch boy outfits . in one scene he disguises himself as a girl in order to attend a girl ' s party . he wears a traditional dutch girl ' s outfit , consisting of white lace cap , ruffled white blouse , full skirted peasant ' s dress , and apron . he is discovered when he eats too many sweets and gets sick .
displaying the essence of poetic realism , the film was moody and atmospheric , involving characters locked into circumstances beyond their control . careful attention was paid to elements such as lighting , detailed sets and music . composer kosma set prévert ' s poem
les feuilles mortes
to music , and the distinct melody formed the basis of a popular song that became known in the united states as
autumn leaves .
the melody befitted a film whose overwhelming effect is best described as haunting .
le jour se lève especially epitomized poetic realism , as it focused on working - class people and had a fatalistic , tragic plot . released in france in december 1939 , during the occupation , just before the start of world war ii , the film was banned by french authorities because of its defeatism .
french film director marcel carné ( 1906–1996 ) is regarded as one of europe ' s great filmmakers . though he had a long career , his reputation rests on the six films he made from 1937 to 1945 . one of the films in that period , les enfants du paradis ( 1945 ) , is regarded by critics and film historians as one of the greatest movies ever made . in his best works , he collaborated with popular french poet and screen - writer jacques prévert .

marcel carné was still only thirty - six and at the height of his fame when the war ended . younger than most of those who now came to the fore , he had already made masterly films in two quite different contexts and it seemed inevitable that he would continue to be a dominant force in french cinema despite the changed circumstances of the postwar era . but in fact the first post - war carné - prévert film , les portes de la nuit , was an expensive flop . when a subsequent film , la fleur de l ' âge , was abandoned shortly after production had begun , one of the most fruitful partnerships in french cinema came to an end . carné directed a dozen more films , from la marie du port in 1950 to la merveilleuse visite in 1973 , but he was no longer a major force in french filmmaking .
when world war ii ended , and les enfants du paradis was released , carné was still a young man—he was only in his late thirties—and his future seemed bright . however , his first post - war film , les portes de la nuit , which returned to the pre - war concerns of poetic realism , was an expensive failure , despite a script by prévert .
the film also marked the start of ongoing collaborations with set designer alexandre trauner and composer joseph kosma . previously , carné and the hungarian - born trauner worked together on feyder ' s la kermesse heroique .
carné ' s masterpiece is les enfants du paradis , shot during the war years but released only after the liberation . running for over three hours and comprising two parts , each of which is of full feature length , les enfants du paradis is one of the most ambitious films ever undertaken in france . set in the twin worlds of theatre and crime in nineteenth century paris , this all - star film is both a theatrical spectacle in its own right and a reflection on the nature of spectacle . the script is one of prévert ' s richest , abounding in wit and aphorism , and carné ' s handling of individual actors and crowd scenes is masterly . the sustained vitality and dynamism of the work as it moves seemingly effortlessly from farce to tragedy , from delicate love scenes to outrageous buffoonery , is exemplary , and its impact is undimmed by the years .
carné ' s second feature film , drôle de drame ( bizarre , bizarre ) , a crime / comedy / fantasy released in 1937 , was a great improvement over jenny , due in large part to prévert ' s contribution . the film itself has been described as peculiar , and it initially confused french audiences . it reflected prévert ' s taste for the absurd and the surreal . the story is set in england in the early 1900s , and the filmmakers took aim at the bourgeoisie . today , its blend of
screwball comedy
elements and dark humor seem ahead of its time .
in between quai des brumes and le jour se lève , carné released hotel du nord ( 1938 ) , with a script written by jean aurenche instead of prévert . still , it was a fatalistic romantic melodrama , like the other two films .
the acting in this version of ouida ' s sentimental story of a poor young boy who wants to be an artist definitely has its issues in terms of speaking lines ; even o . p . heggie , usually a very reliable talent , is poorly modulated . this i lay solely at the feet of the director , edward sloman , who had been directing for twenty years . however , even though a dialog director might have aided some of the performances , the visuals in this are outstanding - - a hallmark of sloman ' s work and veteran cinematographer j . roy hunt . the voice direction may be poor , but the physical acting is just fine . given the story - - and the dialog - - references to rubens , it should come as no surprise that the images refer to the artist , and make the point of the story thereby : that beauty is everywhere for those who can see it , and that faith hope and charity will be rewarded . this may seem a naive sentiment in this day and age , but when was there a day and age where these virtues were not threatened ? surely a simple story is the place to begin to tell a simple tale .
marcel carné was an unfashionable figure long before his directing career came to an end . scorned by a new generation of filmmakers , carné grew more and more out of touch with contemporary developments , despite an eagerness to explore new subjects and use young performers . his failure is a measure of the gulf that separates 1950s and 1960s conceptions of cinema from the studio era of the war and immediate prewar years . he was , however , the epitome of this french studio style , its unquestioned master , even if—unlike renoir—he was unable to transcend its limitations . while future critics are unlikely to find much to salvage from the latter part of his career , films like drole de drame and quai des brumes , le jour se lève and les enfants du paradis , remain rich and complex monuments to a decade of filmmaking that will reward fresh and unbiased critical attention .

by this time , carné ' s career had fallen victim to changing film fashions . his brand of studio - anchored film had been replaced by the
new wave
cinema , advanced by young directors such as francois truffaut and jean luc godard . the works of these new directors took filmmaking outside of the studio and into the streets . their films were low - budget productions made on location and featuring relatively unknown or non - professional actors . this combined to create a greater sense of reality . further , the films possessed a spontaneous and improvisational feel that made older , studio - bound films feel artificial and passé . the emergence of this new style provoked carné to comment ,
the new wave assassinated me . but then it assassinated the cinema , too .
however , his condemnation was far too harsh , as the
new wave
brought new life into the cinema .
the film had a pungent atmosphere developed , in large part , from carné ' s characteristic careful attention to detail . carné and set designer trauner created an apartment set as a single unit without movable walls . in addition , carné , seeking realistic effect , insisted that real bullets be used for the scenes when the police fire upon francois ' apartment .
in 1953 , he filmed thérèse raquin , an adaptation of the emile zola novel . the film was a popular success , but critics were less enthusiastic than the public . his next four films , l ' air de paris ( 1954 ) , le pays d ' òu je viens ( 1956 ) , les tricheurs ( the cheaters , 1958 ) , and terrain vague , had nowhere near the impact of his earlier work .

though their previous films were banned during the occupation , carné and prévert were allowed to continue working together . in addition , carné continued working with trauner and kosma , but the collaborations had to be conducted in secret , as the set designer and the composer were both jewish . however , carné was limited in what he could depict on film . contemporary events were off limits under the german occupation , and films reflecting the pessimistic poetic realism were forbidden , so carné and prévert turned to historical subject matter . this resulted in a new visual style . instead of working in the gray shades of urban , working - class despair , carné turned to the more ornate and theatrical look of the period - film spectacle . made in 1942 , les visiteurs du soir ( the devil ' s envoys ) , a costume romance - drama , was an allegory about love and death set in medieval times . though the film was successful at the time , it has aged badly .
carné was born on august 18 , 1906 , in paris , france . he was the son of paul and maria ( recouet ) carné . he was educated at the education ecole d ' apprentissage du meuble in france , and worked as an apprentice cabinet maker and an insurance clerk in the mid - 1920s . in the late 1920s , he broke into film . in 1928 , he worked as an assistant to cameraman georges périnal on les nouveaux messieurs , for director jacques feyder , who would influence both carné and the direction of french cinema . the following year , carné made his first film , a short documentary entitled nogent , eldorado du dimanche . he also made a number of publicity shorts , but his documentary so impressed rene clair that , in 1930 , the great french director hired carné as his assistant director on sous les toits de paris ( under the roofs of paris ) .
the various advocates of either prévert or carné have sought to make exclusive claims as to which brought poetry to the nebulous and ill - defined
poetic realism
that these films are said to exemplify . in retrospect , however , these arguments seem over - personalized , since the pair seem remarkably well - matched . the actual differences seem less in artistic approach than in attitude to production . from the first , carné , heir to a particular mode of quality filmmaking , was concerned with an industry , a technique , a career . prévert , by contrast , though he is a perfect example of the archetypal 1930s screenwriter , able to create striking star roles and write dazzling and memorable dialogue , is not limited to this role and has a quite separate identity as surrealist , humorist and poet .

as much as an improvement that carné ' s second feature represented , it was quai des brumes ( 1938 ) and le jour se lève ( 1939 ) , two more collaborations with prévert , that truly established carné as a major european director . the two films were imbued with the romantic fatalism that typified poetic realism and that would characterize this era of french cinema . in the films , lovers find fleeting happiness in a violent and bleak world .

the script for jenny was written by jacques prévert , and the collaboration initiated an ongoing , fruitful professional relationship that helped develop carné ' s reputation . prévert , a poet , would write the scripts for most of carné ' s greatest films . in his poetry , prévert , who was associated with the surrealist movement in france , blended humor , sentimentality , fatalism and social satire . this style , described as poetic realism , was popular in the years leading up to the german occupation of france and world war ii , and it informed many of his screenplays .
bringing the attitudes of poetic realism into cinema , these films were both lyrical and pessimistic , contrasting or combining dismal reality with an intuited metaphysical realm , and self - determinism with cruel fate . they were characterized by carné ' s richly detailed recreations of gritty social environments .

the musketeer is a 2001 american film based on alexandre dumas 's classic novel the three musketeers , directed by peter hyams and starring catherine deneuve , mena suvari , stephen rea , tim roth and justin chambers .

the film features tsui hark 's regular actor xin-xin xiong as a stunt choreographer .

musketeer game days only monday - friday : 10 : 00 a . m . - 2nd intermission .
become a musketeer to help the people around you , when someone truly needs help . musketeers can answer the call and provide the aid someone is seeking .
the swordplay , which is what makes the older musketeer - type movies fun , is mostly fast and blurry here , and actually not entertaining .
most are familiar with the three musketeers by alexandre dumas , in which young d’artagnan leaves home to seek glory as a musketeer .
the happy couple received their third musketeer in the summer of 2014 , as luis suarez moved to catalunya from liverpool and resurrected the nostalgic social media acronym : msn .
first we have d ' artagnan , who is a poor gentleman who is good with a sword and has a lifelong dream to become a musketeer . over the coming - of - age story , he changes from a boy into a musketeer .
australian - born , singer - songwriter musketeer is touring spain for the first time this summer presenting a series of acoustic intimate gigs .
fight made right for
the musketeer ,
which parlayed its mix of traditional swashbuckling and hong kong action choreography into the top spot among the nation ' s movies .

he claims that auguste jules maquet was the real
fourth musketeer
, the man who actually came up with the plot for the trilogy featuring porthos , athos , aramis . and d ' artagnan .
set in 17th century france , this is the story of the young musketeer , d ' artagnan ( chambers ) , who seeks revenge against those responsible for the murder of his parents .
dumas would pay maquet handsomely and reap the glory . the duo spawned dozens of novels over a decade including the musketeer trilogy , the count of monte cristo , twenty years after and the vicomte of bragelonne : ten years later .
el cantautor y compositor australiano musketeer estará de gira por primera vez en españa este verano , presentando su trabajo con una serie de conciertos acústicos íntimos .
what ' s the problem ? that in the new adaptation , porthos , traditionally a fat white comedy turn ( think : oliver platt in the 1993 comedy the three musketeers ) is a trim , sexy musketeer of colour played by howard charles .
the new swashbuckler , the musketeer , took the number one position at the us box office this weekend , with two other new releases taking second and third spots . the swashbuckler , which numbers tim roth , nick moran and stephen rea amongst its cast , is independently financed .
in the scene just before the final attack on the castle , d ' artangan is surrounded by his fellow musketeers . he gets off his horse and while doing so there is a tight close up where you see clearly that he is wearing his musketeer outfit that he threw down on the floor in the previous scene . when he finishes talking to the horse ( and he is back in his normal clothes ) porthos hands him the musketeer uniform , which d ' artangan then puts on .

we are a community of people offering help to those in need during times of distress . musketeer is for everyone who wishes for a safer , more secure society .
d ' artagnan ' s daughter valentine and the three sons of her father ' s three legendary musketeer comrades must team up to rescue king louis xiv ' s fiancée who ' s been kidnapped .
after several years of travelling and performing in many cities around europe , the uk , australia & new zealand , musketeer has honed a songwriting craft rich with the pictures of the people , the history , and landscapes of those places wandered , and now it ' s time for him to bring his music to the iberian peninsula .
we believe in people helping people . musketeer is a social safety network that allows you to help those close by , or get help when you really need it , simply and effectively .
they say familiarity breeds contempt , but maybe not at the box office : the blade wielded by the musketeer , the umpteenth remake of the three musketeers , was sharp enough to carve up the competition and emerge as the weekend ' s no . 1 movie . the vivica a . fox sex comedy two can play that game came in second , while the heavily - advertised mark wahlberg / jennifer aniston vehicle rock star limped its way to third place .
channelling the likes of such artists as nick cave and the late leonard cohen , this tour is a magnificent opportunity for the spanish audience to catch musketeer in his most raw and lyrical form . he will also be supported by fellow traveller and compatriot , australian singer - songwriter , moondyne .
i love anachronism ! if you ' ve ever watched the man in the iron mask and found yourself wishing there were more gravity - defying , matrixy fight sequences , then this is the movie for you . the story is as engaging as any of the other musketeer movies , the villains just as slimy , the stakes just as high and the characters just as heroically iconic . here , though , the action is a bit bigger and i found the sequences , while somewhat incongruous , even more exhilarating .
age of empires iii had musketeer units - true to the trope , their ranged attack is useful against melee - based units , but their melee attack is what makes them good against cavalry and had a better damage per second statistically .
the four men return to paris , where d ' artagnan is about to become a musketeer . unfortunately , none of the four have the money to get the weapons for the war the king is about to fight with england . while the musketeers can ask their mistresses for money , d ' artagnan has to find a way to earn some . so , he sleeps with a noblewoman . she gives him a ring , which he sells to get the funds he needs .
peter hyams '
the musketeer
combines traditional swashbuckling with martial arts in a movie where the men wear plumes in their hats but pounce like crouching tigers and scheme like hidden dragons . no wonder ; the choreography of the fight scenes is by xin - xin xiong - - not a name on every tongue , i grant you , but he is one of the top action designers in hong kong .

as the numerous modern examples make clear , the musketeer has largely vanished from the battlefield in favor of the pure rifleman . it seems plausible that the trope is now more relevant to the civilian world , where carrying a firearm at the ready is considered unacceptable and any attacks will probably come by surprise . this is becoming more commonly stressed by trainers , who are finally branching out from the old pigeonholes of
shooting
,
martial arts
, etc , and addressing the need for a more well - rounded skillset . this is not uniform , of course , and there are abundant martial arts schools and firearm training ranges that work exclusively with one form of defense or another .
when the cardinal , through his extended and vast network of spies ( one of whom is among the queen ' s ladies - in - waiting ) discovers that the queen has given buckingham the diamond tags , he asks the king to give a fabulous ball and demand that the queen wear the king ' s gift to her : the twelve diamond tags .
d’artagnan hopes to become a musketeer one day , but he doesn’t have much going for him except for his training as a gentleman , which means , effectively , that he can handle a sword and be polite about it . his pluck , determination , and good manners lead him to become

after a few bumps in the road ( athos gambles away two of the horses , and porthos and aramis lose theirs as well ) , the four return to paris and d’artagnan finds out that the king is recommending him to become a musketeer . this joy is short - lived , however , as all the men must somehow gain enough money to outfit themselves properly for war . porthos and aramis appeal to their mistresses , and d’artagnan sleeps with a noblewoman in return for a valuable ring ( that , we find out , once belonged to athos ) and the two sell it to split the money . the friends find themselves well - funded and ready for war—all is well in the world , right ?
meanwhile , the three musketeers are enjoying their leisure time , drinking and joking , and , by chance , they meet the cardinal , who is going to a meeting with milady , who is staying at the inn which the musketeers just left . the musketeers accompany the cardinal and listen through a broken stovepipe to the conversation .

but should porthos be mixed - race ? in one sense , sure , why not ? if a black actor such as david harewood , say , can play the ( probably white ) english nobleman sir harry hotspur in the national theatre production of shakespeare ' s king henry iv without critics whining about the historical accuracy ( trickier in fact for a white actor to play othello since the colour of the moor ' s skin is inscribed deep in shakespeare ' s verse ) , surely a mixed - race musketeer isn ' t a stretch .

the model 76 was designed as an economical twin - engine trainer for the beech aero centers and to compete with the very similar piper pa - 44 seminole as well as the cessna 310 .
the use of a t - tail on the model 76 met with mixed critical reception when the aircraft was introduced . plane & pilot pronounced :
in the old kingdom books , military stationed in the perimeter are armed with guns , swords , and sometimes bows and arrows . the guns are their normal weapon of choice ; the swords are for when technology fails due to the proximity of magic . the most experienced soldiers become proficient with both .
basically the story of a man forced to finally see the injustice around him . riley’s movie is designed to do the same thing to you . …
the queen is terrified when she learns about the ball and hears her husband order her to wear the diamond tags . she knows very well that they are in london , in the possession of the duke of buckingham . meanwhile , the cardinal sends one of his spies — the elegant and beautiful milady — to london ; he instructs her to dance with the duke , snip off at least two of the diamond tags , and return them to the cardinal so that he can use them in a blackmail scheme .

after agreeing to a rendezvous with constance ( which never takes place because she is again abducted by the cardinal ' s men ) , d ' artagnan is told that it is dangerous to remain in paris : the cardinal knows everything that happens in paris ; it will not be long , before he learns about d ' artagnan ' s role in the diamond tag escapade . d ' artagnan therefore decides that this would be a good time to discover what happened to his musketeer friends .
the pirates from pirates vikings and knights , in particular the captain and the skirmisher , who use cutlasses in combination with a blunderbuss and pistol , respectively .
constance promises the queen she ' ll help her get the earrings back in time for the party . she corrals d ' artagnan , who worships the ground she walks on , into traveling to england with her . he grabs his new friends porthos , athos , and aramis and brings them along . each of them is stopped along the way , so d ' artagnan eventually sees the duke alone . the duke blocks all ships from leaving england ( and declares war on france in the doing ) and produces the diamonds . d ' artagnan hurries back to paris , and the queen wears the earrings to the party .
at several points in the film , percussion firearms are seen . the film is set in 1660 . percussion firearms did not appear until the nineteenth century .
while some of the earlier musketeers also carried a sword , which they would draw when closing in for hand - to - hand combat , most rank - and - file soldiers were too poor to own one . instead , before the advent of the bayonet , they would simply wield their musket as a two - handed club by using the heavy stock to crush heads and limbs . after the advent of the bayonet , the basic musketeer fully fit the trope - musketeers armed with one became the standard infantryman and tactical doctrine held that infantry would shoot their muskets while defending against other enemies at range , but brace their bayonets against cavalry and charge with their bayonets to attack ( due to the musket ' s low fire - rate lacking the same morale - breaking power as a horde of men charging at you to stab you ) . the earlier plug bayonet fit the trope even more starkly - troops had to place their bayonet into their musket ' s barrel , preventing them from shooting , making it especially blatant their two main weapons were the musket and bayonet .

d ' artagnan , a young gentleman from gascony , france , heads to paris to find his fortune in life . he goes to see m . de tréville , who is the commander of the king ' s musketeers . d ' artagnan ' s goal in life is to become a musketeer . while in paris , he meets porthos , athos , and aramis , musketeers who quickly become his friends , and constance bonacieux , who steals his heart .

the marvel comics elseworld the 5 ronin transplants familiar marvel characters to japan under ieyasu tokugawa ' s rule . the series ' version of the punisher is an expert swordfighter and an ace gunman , but depending on the situation he will only use one weapon , his rifle or his katana .
the three musketeers do this , though they ' re better known for using swords . since swords were the standard sidearm of the day , most of the book isn ' t spent in line combat , and guns of the day were single - shot weapons , it ' s quite understandable .
persona : in the first persona , the playable characters can alternate between a melee weapon or a ranged weapon with the grid based battle system . the ability to equip every character with both melee weapons and firearms then disappeared from the series for a decade , before finally returning in persona 5 .
the kid of bastion is capable of using both a variety of guns and various melee weapons . in the setting , the slingers were known to use machetes and dual revolvers .
events unfold around these characters . the duke of buckingham sets his sights on the married queen anne of france , but she sends him back to england . feeling bad , she gives him a pair of diamond earrings she got from her husband , the king . the cardinal , who was also spurned by the lovely queen anne , learns about the diamonds . so he tells the king to ask anne to wear the diamonds to a party . queen anne dissolves into tears , terrified that her husband will realize the earrings are gone .
like hong kong fight movies ,
the musketeer
makes great use of handy props , folding them into the action scenes . nowhere is this more dramatic ( or ludicrous , depending on your point of view ) than in a final duel between d ' artagnan and febre , which takes place in a warehouse stacked to the ceiling with shelves of big wine barrels . of course to reach the barrels , you need ladders - - lots of ladders , with the two fighters leaping from one to another , walking them across the floor , swinging through space clinging to them , and finally , incredibly , balancing one on a center beam and using it as a teeter - totter for their final showdown . this is harder than it looks .
the star of the show is justin chambers and he gets incidental billing which is ridiculous despite his lack of acting skills . more good and bad news : bad - having a weak lead actor is not the way to have box - office success . stupid dialog doesn ' t help either , along with the rambo action mentality in which the good guy doesn ' t get hit from close range . good - some of the action scenes were spectacular , the best swordplay i ' ve ever seen . the ones at the beginning and the end of the film were the best , with some incredible stunt work . this is beautifully photographed , too . tim roth was a good villain , as usual , and the heroes - even if they couldn ' t act - were fun to watch . the language is tame in here and the film should be rated pg , not pg - 13 .
a gun and a sword ( or other melee weapon ) combo . . . when not used at the same time . typical combination for characters and armies on the advent of gunpowder , the ranged weapon in this case is often more of a throw - away weapon used to down an opponent before closing to meet with the rest . the gun can be a pistol or a rifle just as well - in fact , the musket itself ( which the musketeer is named for ) is a long two - handed gun . this sort of a warrior tend toward the wooden ships and iron men — pirates may even wear a bandolier with several loaded pistols , like real life blackbeard did , in addition to two pistols on his sword belt — and swashbuckler settings , but not limited to them . samurai cowboys need both a revolver and katana , so they apply as well . it can even be more modern and futuristic , up to jedi proficient in both the blaster and the lightsaber .
when you need help , let the community know . we find the closest musketeers to assist and those people are alerted . help is then on the way , it’s that simple .
enter the nefarious cardinal , who is the biggest deal in france—yes , even bigger than the king . the cardinal , who’s still angry that anne burned his declarations of love some time back , wants her to get in trouble with her husband . he knows , through his spies , that anne gave the diamonds to buckingham . he suggests that the king throw a
the ambition of oda nobuna , the titular character uses both a sword and a rifle alternately for different types of engagements .
as soon as guns made it to japan , the samurai became musketeers . miyamoto musashi ' s famous book of five rings covers the importance of the gun and of using it well as an essential part of a samurai ' s training . guns saw heavy action in the sengoku jidai period before the unification of japan under the tokugawa shogunate . the battle of nagashino is the most famous example of what happened to those who didn ' t see the writing on the wall , where already - common firearms were used by oda nobunaga from behind wooden fences in rotation to deliver devastating fire that destroyed takeda katsuyori ' s cavalry .
at one stage , according to mr schopp , who recently unearthed dumas ' last , unfinished novel , the acclaimed author even stood up after a stage performance of the musketeers and publicly acknowledged maquet as the
co - author
of the work .
the three musketeers was written by alexandre dumas and was originally a series of stories written for a newspaper . it was published between march 14 and july 1 , 1844 . the story follows d ' artagnan and the three musketeers porthos , aramis , and arthos , as well as the characters of constance , milady , the duke of buckingham , queen anne , and the cardinal .

reuniting the cast of trainspotting for a new adventure 21 years on could have gone badly . the bbc’s misjudged this life + 10 , bringing the cast of the iconic 90s tv drama back together , is a case in point . but boyle and his four musketeers give it just the right frantic , jaded energy and manic anxiety .

dumas’ remains , by contrast , were recently transferred with great pompt to the pantheon , the paris mausoleum where france’s greats are interred .
set on the streets of 17th - century paris ,
the musketeers
gives a contemporary take on the classic story about a group of highly trained soldiers and bodyguards assigned to protect king and country .
the highland charge was developed to give scottish armies an edge against better equipped and better trained armies in this way . the enemy line could be broken up and their morale shattered while the scots were just getting started with their new one - handed claymores . against armies who held ranks they tended to get massacred though . in fact , the dreaded highland charge helped lead to the development of the socket bayonet , which unlike the previous plug bayonet , fit over the barrel of the musket and allowed it to shoot and stab all at once . therefore , the english units were able to enter the battle with already fixed bayonets instead of having to equip them while a horde of screaming scotsman with bfs bore down on them . the swords of this period were one - handed light swords similar to a later broadsword . it was certainly not the claymore most people envision when they hear the word . by the 17th century , gunpowder had completely dominated the battlefield and any heavy infantry with armor and a bfs was a relic waiting to be slaughtered . the charge relied on a light targe , a broadsword or dirk , momentum , and a movement which left the english infantry helpless just long enough for them to be cut down .
an earlier chase sequence involves an attempt by febre to capture the coach containing the queen and the comely d . , where d ' artagnan single - handedly holds off the entire force , at one point leaping from the saddle of his galloping horse to the saddle of the horse in front ( harder than it looks ) . and there is an early scene where d ' artagnan is able to support himself between two ceiling beams with pressure from his legs and one arm , while the free arm wields a sword . so much harder than it looks that it borders , i would hazard , on the impossible .

the importance of the author ' s
nègre
– the french term for ghost writer – is explained by claude schopp , france ' s leading dumas expert , in his dictionary of alexandre dumas out next month .

who are armed with both katanas and modern rifles .
enter madame bonacieux , who promises that she will find someone to help the queen regain the diamond studs in time for the ball . this someone turns out to be d’artagnan , who’s just tripping all over himself to get in her good graces . he takes his buddies athos , porthos , and aramis to england to retrieve the studs , but one by one each of them is detained on the road . d’artagnan makes it to london alone and meets with the duke . he finds the studs , but two are missing .
to solve the problem , the duke has two new ones whipped up and blocks any ship from leaving england to ensure that the missing studs don’t make it to paris . this , of course , means that he’s declared war on france , but obviously the honor of his beloved is much more important . d’artagnan makes it back to paris in time to save the queen .
when king uther dies and britain faces chaos , merlin presents an unknown named arthur as the new king by birthright , as the late king ' s son , against the ambitious desires of his half - sister , morgan .
a number of units in the dawn of war series are like this , in fact , armed with both a long - range firearm and some form of melee weapon , with the player given the choice to make them use one or the other depending on the situation . they also automatically switch to melee if attacked at that range , which creates quite a headache when crippling overspecialization happens . interestingly , the tau commander has no melee attack , so he flies up , shoots at the ground , and lands , then starts again .
d ' artagnan and the musketeers track her down , accuse her of her many crimes — and execute her . when the entire story is revealed later to the cardinal , he is horrified at the extent of milady ' s evil web of death , and he is extremely impressed with d ' artagnan ' s laudable actions . consequently , he writes out a commission for d ' artagnan to become a lieutenant in the king ' s musketeers . after offering the commission to athos , porthos , and aramis and being refused by all three , d ' artagnan accepts the prestigious commission at the early age of twenty - one .
one day , d ' artagnan ' s elderly landlord , bonacieux , comes to ask him for help ; the landlord ' s young wife , constance , has been kidnapped — probably by the cardinal ' s men because she is the queen ' s linen maid and knows many of the queen ' s secrets , secrets which the cardinal desperately wants revealed so that he can discredit the queen , who earlier rejected his romantic advances . d ' artagnan is able to rescue madame bonacieux from her abductors and , while doing so , falls in love with her . later , when he inadvertently sees her cross a bridge with a strange man , he stops them and discovers that the man is an english nobleman , the duke of buckingham , the queen ' s secret lover ; being an englishman , the man is also an enemy of france . that night , the queen gives the duke an elegant gift of twelve diamond tags in a rosewood box .
next , let ' s meet the three musketeers . aramis is a good fighter and an accomplished ladies ' man…but he vows he will give it all up soon and join the priesthood . porthos is a loyal friend and a fierce fighter . he likes to brag about the women he has enjoyed over the years , but most of it is just talk . athos , who is also the comte de la fère , is the oldest and most accomplished of the musketeers . his life was ruined by milady , and he has had trust issues ever since .
metal gear solid 2 sons of liberty plays with this a lot . raiden uses guns for most of the game , but is able to quickly master using a katana near the end . likewise , solidus snake , the game ' s big bad , prefers to fight dual wielding but is capable of using the p90 .
when d ' artagnan reaches london , he reports the situation to buckingham , who discovers in horror that two of the tags are missing . immediately , he calls in his personal jeweler and instructs him to work furiously in order to make exact copies . he gives the copies to d ' artagnan , along with the remaining ten tags , and a superb , prearranged series of horses that will take d ' artagnan from london to paris in twelve hours . thus , the queen is able to appear in what seems to be all twelve of the diamond tags — to the utter astonishment of the cardinal . for d ' artagnan ' s heroic efforts , the queen secretly presents him with a large , magnificent diamond ring .
the history is not the point , and neither is the story . both exist only to supply excuses for a series of action sequences , which steal the show to such an extent that if you like martial arts scenes you ' ll admire this movie , and if you don ' t , you won ' t .

in the case of an artifact being sold at auction , the curators must decide beforehand what the maximum bid will be . when bidding in sales conducted by major auction houses like sotheby’s and christie’s , the jamestown - yorktown foundation is competing with museums and collectors from all over the world . it is important to set a realistic bid limit beforehand , and not to “chase” some highly desirable artifact beyond that limit .
before d ' artagnan and the musketeers leave in their separate regiments for the siege , the king becomes ill , and d ' artagnan ' s group moves out first , leaving the musketeers behind for the time being to await the king . d ' artagnan is lonesome for his friends and , one day , he wanders off alone — not a wise decision , because he is fired at by two of milady ' s hired assassions . later , during a dangerous mission that d ' artagnan is leading , the same two assassins again try to kill him . when this attempt fails , milady decides to have some poisoned wine delivered to d ' artagnan - compliments of

he returns to each of the places where he left them , and finding them all safe , they return to paris — only to discover that they must buy equipment for the king ' s next military maneuver : the siege of la rochelle . each of the musketeers must find some way of getting money — something they are always short of .

) are being held prisoner by the vile febre . after the queen drops a marble bust at his feet to attract his attention ( good job she didn ' t hit him on the head ) , d ' artagnan fires a rope to the top of the tower and climbs up , hand over hand , to rescue them - - but then defenders lower their own ropes , and soon four or five fighters are swaying in big arcs back and forth high above the ground , holding on with one hand while sword - fighting , which is harder than it looks .
there have been other warriors that also fit the trope in style if not in name , such as season 1 ' s pirate and season 2 ' s vlad the impaler .

silly muddled version of the classic tale . poorly acted by everyone but tim roth and catherine deneuve and she is given very little to do . ponderous direction and murky lighting help not at all . try one of the many other versions of the story . even the keifer sutherland / charlie sheen version , while not terribly faithful to the book , was much better than this . at least they seemed to be having fun in that one .
