00:04 - 00:07
films that deal with history tend to offer a snippet
00:07 - 00:10
into a time that has long since passed the audience
00:11 - 00:13
air, treated to moving images and reenactments of the time
00:14 - 00:16
that they could no longer experience unless it is from
00:16 - 00:17
words written on a page.
00:19 - 00:21
There is much to be gained from a film dealing
00:21 - 00:24
with history as it provides an education on a time
00:24 - 00:28
period. It provides perspective and develops a character that was
00:28 - 00:31
once only accessible as a two D figure on a
00:31 - 00:34
page. The key aim of these films is not often
00:35 - 00:37
historical accuracy, but entertainment.
00:38 - 00:41
Filmmakers choose to use history as a foundation to generate
00:41 - 00:46
plot points characterization on relationships for our entertainment, but they
00:46 - 00:49
don't often have to be entirely accurate in their portrayal.
00:50 - 00:53
I believe that these films still have a role to
00:53 - 00:55
play in our society, but it is the audience who
00:56 - 00:59
must understand elements of satire and irony in order to
00:59 - 01:03
truly gain something ah, value from films dealing with history
01:03 - 01:04
for entertainment.
01:07 - 01:07
Question one.
01:07 - 01:10
What role did Gascony play in your development?
01:11 - 01:14
I felt that Gascony played a significant role in my
01:14 - 01:17
development as a time Gascony was well reknown for producing
01:18 - 01:22
soldiers off bravery and honesty within the French army.
01:22 - 01:25
We had often been mocked by the French elite on
01:25 - 01:27
it was an honor to show how important the people
01:28 - 01:30
of Gasque anywhere to France and how they showed us
01:30 - 01:35
through their bravery and willingness to fight question to offer
01:36 - 01:37
one and one for all.
01:37 - 01:39
What do you mean by the statement?
01:40 - 01:43
It embodies our ideals that we're brothers that were united
01:44 - 01:46
and we must stick together in the face of our
01:46 - 01:49
adversaries. If one of us is wounded, then we were
01:49 - 01:49
all wounded.
01:50 - 01:52
But if one of us is victorious, then we are
01:52 - 01:53
all victorious.
01:53 - 01:54
Strength in numbers.
01:56 - 01:57
Question three.
01:57 - 02:00
How did you feel when King Louis commanded you to
02:00 - 02:02
bring him the heads of the Three Musketeers?
02:03 - 02:06
I knew this would not be happening despite it being
02:06 - 02:07
an impossible task in itself.
02:08 - 02:10
I would never betray my brothers in arms.
02:11 - 02:13
This brings me back to are saying all for one
02:13 - 02:14
and one for all.
02:15 - 02:17
King Louis was clearly distraught, and I knew I would
02:18 - 02:20
have They have to come up with another plan.
02:22 - 02:25
I would give clip number one a mixed review.
02:26 - 02:28
Although the same starts off in a serious manner.
02:29 - 02:33
It quickly escalates into comedy, which overly relies on the
02:33 - 02:33
French accent.
02:34 - 02:38
The filmmaker has chosen to totally waiver from historical accuracy,
02:39 - 02:41
ease with the presence of a French soldier in England.
02:42 - 02:44
Although the use of comedy is suitable to make the
02:45 - 02:48
audience laugh, it does not succeed in furthering the plot.
02:48 - 02:48
That much.
02:50 - 02:53
Clip number two would also be a mixture of you
02:54 - 02:58
beginning the scene immediately with Entering of King Arthur, followed
02:58 - 03:02
by the clip clopping and who've set up for more
03:02 - 03:06
comedy. Although once again there is little in the way
03:06 - 03:07
of furthering a plot point.
03:08 - 03:10
The use of comedy here is mixed with the violence
03:11 - 03:12
and the repetition of the phrase.
03:13 - 03:16
This just a scratch gives the audience a light outlook
03:17 - 03:21
on the violence of the time clip Number three would
03:21 - 03:22
be a thumbs up.
03:22 - 03:24
This is a very funny scene and that the peasants
03:25 - 03:27
are clearly more in tune with politics of the land
03:28 - 03:28
than the king himself.
03:29 - 03:32
The filmmaker may have wanted to reflect a modern opinion
03:33 - 03:35
on the role of the monarchy in society.
03:36 - 03:40
By doing this clip, one thumbs up.
03:41 - 03:43
This is a strong scene and a climatic time in
03:44 - 03:46
the film, we can see the distressed on King Louis's
03:47 - 03:48
face and the clamoring for power.
03:49 - 03:52
But as the audience were were always on the side
03:53 - 03:57
of D'Artagnan and Philippe and therefore we elicit little sympathy
03:58 - 03:58
for Louis.
03:59 - 04:03
This provides elements of historical significance in that it reflects
04:03 - 04:08
the French elite and their blind power clip number two
04:08 - 04:09
thumbs up.
04:09 - 04:16
Here we have another mhm defining seen the releasing of
04:16 - 04:17
Philippe from the Iron Mask.
04:18 - 04:20
The use of sound in this scene is significant as
04:21 - 04:22
the hammering of the mask as well.
04:22 - 04:25
A CE Phillips cries for help, ensure that the audience
04:25 - 04:29
feel sympathy for the characters and are on the side
04:29 - 04:29
of the Three Musketeers.
04:30 - 04:32
The use of music here swells in emotion.
04:35 - 04:36
Clip number three.
04:37 - 04:37
Mixed review.
04:38 - 04:40
Here we have what should be the resolution of the
04:41 - 04:44
film, but it seems to be somewhat anti climatic, and
04:45 - 04:47
this is down to the film making choices here.
04:48 - 04:51
It seems to just have people standing around and relies
04:51 - 04:53
too much on DiCaprio's passionate acting.
04:57 - 05:01
Can there be value on door historical significance in a
05:01 - 05:02
film made for entertainment?
05:03 - 05:07
I believe there can be historical value and significance gained
05:07 - 05:10
from films specifically geared towards entertainment.
05:11 - 05:15
And despite the presence of historical inaccuracies, we're still given
05:16 - 05:18
a perspective on many elements of time for the, for
05:19 - 05:21
example, the role of the monarchy in Britain and France,
05:22 - 05:25
the views of people, the politics of the country, on
05:26 - 05:26
the systems in place.
05:27 - 05:29
It is up to the audience to gain what they
05:29 - 05:31
can from these films whilst being entertained.
05:32 - 05:36
But it is clear that these filmmakers interweave humor, satire,
05:37 - 05:40
irony and drama in order to both entertain and educate
05:41 - 05:41
us.
