taking a look back at the original story
and the most popular adaptations of the
three musketeers I lost my friend
what are you doing here why did you
start to draw I mistook you for a
gentleman whom I am soon to have the
pleasure of killing the three musketeers
is an iconic tale of swordplay loyalty
and adventure it was written in
serialized by French author Alexander ma
in 1844 the story is set in the 17th
century and follows the journey of the
young and poor Tania as he ventures to
Paris to join the king’s personal
bodyguards known as the Musketeers of
the guard soon enough he is challenged
to a duel by each of the three greatest
Musketeers to have ever lived but
believe me when I say that killing you
will bring me no pleasure with you
gentlemen in a moment always a fighter
little fellow I see a new unit this trio
is made up of Athos Porthos and Aramis
who happen to be best friends each of
these characters is dramatically
different from the others Athos is older
and more enigmatic he is seen as a
father by the other two
Porthos is portrayed a sincere trusting
and outgoing with a love of wine and
women
finally Aramis is unfulfilled but
determined it is these personalities
that have played a major role in the
success of this series
d’Artagnan himself is loosely based on a
real-life historical figure who once
served King Louis quatorze as the
captain of the Musketeers tell raesha
you the names
in Dumas tale he is portrayed as a
confrontational youth with an astounding
intellect
d’Artagnan eventually befriends the trio
and ends up joining their struggle
against the pathologically egotistical
holy man Cardinal Richelieu this villain
is also based on an historical figure of
that period like his real-life
counterpart Richard eeeh abuses his
position of power as an important
minister of king louis xiii in the story
the team learns that the Cardinals plans
extend beyond attaining power he hopes
to expose the Queen’s love affair in
order to ignite a war with England in
the infancy of cinema Hollywood chose to
adapt this story along with its beloved
characters more than once these films
accurately depicted the style of Knight
with their wide brimmed hats and high
boots
soon after Technicolor brought about
several adored retellings of the story
the most notable of these was the 1948
MGM Studios epic that starred Gene Kelly
to die among friends can a man ask more
can a world offer less who wants to live
to the last bottles empty it’s all for
one d’Artagnan and one for all
in 1973 the story was retold as a
comedic and raunchy tale complete with
an a-list cast that included Michael
York and Raquel Welch
despite the liberties the film took with
the source material that film proved
memorable for showcasing Christopher Lee
as an iconic villain from the series
named hush fall this character was a
fellow musketeer who betrayed his
brothers to rich alia for his
interpretation of this night who fell to
the dark side
Lee ignored previous performances and
gave the character an eyepatch facial
scar and vicious sneer Walt Disney
Pictures eventually released its own
blockbuster adaptation this 1993 film
starred Chris O’Donnell as d’Artagnan
Kiefer Sutherland as Athos Charlie Sheen
as Aramis Oliver Platt as Porthos and
Tim Curry as Cardinal Richelieu those
Musketeers on a menace they must be
stopped the boy knows our plans 1,000
gold pieces on each of their heads dead
or alive
I prefer dead Hollywood then began to
loosely adapt other Alexander ma stories
one of these was live Ecole de pleasure
loan which came to be known as the man
in the iron mask
the most memorable version of this story
was 1998 hit that starred Leonardo
DiCaprio Jeremy Irons John Malkovich and
Gerard Depardieu I need you all for one
one for all you cannot ask me to betray
my king I have sworn an oath when the
king is dishonorable you are removed
from your oath of Honor and oath is an
oath precisely because it cannot be
removed why do you follow him d’Artagnan
why what we fought for is greater than
king or rank or reward there have also
been countless animated entries parodies
and bizarre attempts to bring the
Musketeers to the silver screen since
the early 1900’s some have been truly
unusual such as 2001’s the musketeer
which was presented in the style of an
Asian action movie the three musketeers
has proven to be a Hollywood staple that
has been reinvented for countless new
generations this long-running film
tradition continued in 2011 with Paul WS
Anderson 3d interpretation it starred
Ray Stevenson Christoph Waltz Orlando
Bloom and Milla Jovovich there were four
of us against 40 of them
